Isaac's Story
Isaac suffered a severe head injury early in the morning on 5/11/14. He is currently in Critical condition and fighting for his life. He is young and strong, but the battle he has in front of him is enormous. We do not yet know the full extent of his injuries. He is very sick. Please pray for Isaac and all of those involved.

After dealing with some horrendous breakouts, I visited my dermatologist. She recommended using Cerave products instead of my Neutrogena face wash and lotion. I love the way this face wash lathers, I don't have to use as much product. It also felt very simple, no fragrance, no mentholated "faux fresh" feeling on my face. I paired this with my Clarisonic, and my skin cleared up and felt absolutely amazing! This is a great face wash because it's simple, doesn't overdry the skin (as long as you follow it up with moisturizer), and is a bargain! That one $12 bottle lasted me for over six months! Definitely repurchasing.

Great drugstore cleanser. This removes all my makeup easily. I love it's gentle formula that doesn't break out my sensitive skin. I have repurchased this several times. Its very affordable and the pump makes it very convenient

" Whenever I used it, my face never felt totally clean, and oddly enough felt tight and dry."
This is exactly my experience. I was so excited to try this. My skin feels tight like I haven't rinsed but then it totally dries out. (I have the stuff for normal to oily skin) It is the first product I have used that actually feels like it is damaging my skin :(
I bought this at Walmart after constantly seeing it recommended on MUA's skincare board. I used it for a few months, but never repurchased because over time, my skin was becoming dull and clogged, and I wanted to revamp my routine. I also love my skin to feel very smooth and refreshed after cleansing, and this cleanser didn't live up to those standards. I might allow myself to give it another test drive someday. Although it wasn't perfect, I had my fair share of good-skin days while using it, and it didn't seem to cause horrible breakouts or irritation.
Ingredients: Purified water, cocasidopropyl hydroxysultaine, glycerin, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, peg-150 pentaerythrityl tetrastearate and peg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, niacinamide, propylene glycol, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, ceramide 3, ceramide 6-II, ceramide 1, hyaluronic acid, cholesterol, sodium chloride, phytosphingosine, citric acid, edetate disodium, dihydrate, sodium lauroyl lactylate, methylparaben, propylparaben, carbomer, xanthan gum
I bought this when I ran out of my Phisoderm anti-blemish face wash and couldn't get it locally. Saw it in my supermarket and thought it looked like a nice big bottle for $10. Now I am totally in love with it. It works better than Phisoderm on my mature, slightly sensitive, acne prone skin. I have had very few zits since I started using this, yet it is not overly drying either. My new HG face wash. I only use this in the morning though, I use other products to remove makeup in the evening, and still use my Clinique 3 step face wash at bedtime. But this is great for in the shower.

One of the very best drugstore cleansers imho. Will clean your skin well without overdrying. Can also be used as bodywash or hand soap in very cold dry weather, or if your skin is just that dry/sensitive. Have used this as bodywash for 2 kids with eczema with nice results. Obviously....it will not remove waterproof, tenacious makeup or sunscreens. But for a general cleanser, it is hands-down one of the best.
Oh, and the non-foaming version of this, while also very non irritating. non drying and soothing.....simply doesn't clean as well.

Never in a million years will I ever touch another CeraVe product again. Stupidly I did purchase this cleanser as it seems to be a well loved product on SCB. Now I know my skin hates caprylic/capric triglycerides, yet I somehow thought perhaps this formulation, being so popular, would turn out okay.
Within two days of using this cleanser, clogs and cysts appeared on my face. I stoppped using it and my face cleared. Now because I paid around $14 for the container, I thought I could just use it up as a shower gel of sorts on the body parts that do not break out. TMI time but within two days of using it, cysts on the backs of my legs and butt!
Just heaved that bottle right into the trash. Make sure if you decide to try this product that you are not sensitive to any of its ingredients - I tried it foolishly and paid the price. Lesson learned. Not always good to run with the herd. :)
Im going to start ny saying If you are sensitive, acne prone, clog prone please DO NOT use this. I bought this about a year ago and stopped using it after a few days because it seemed to be giving be a rash. Recently I tried Joseof's Sulfer Soap and after a few days it made my face super dry and my neck and chest became scalely just from it rinsing over that area. I went back to my regular routine but nothing was helping the dryness. I decided to try Cerave Cleanser again with the Cerave Cream because of all the great reviews of it balancing ph and moisturizing with ceramides. BIG MISTAKE. After a week my skin was still dry and scalely and I developed a pimple like rash all over my face and neck. Even behind and in front of my ears had clusters of hard bumps. I also had clogged pores everywhere and a lot of them were turning into whiteheads. NIGHTMARE. After about a month of using Dove Sensitive Bar and taking supplements to speed up the healing process Im just now getting my smooth skin back.
This is my HG cleanser! Keeps my skin balanced, isn't harsh, has a pump!!!! My skin has cleared up completely since starting my new skin care routine, which includes this lovely cleanser. I had been using harsh cleansers all long that were totally defeating the purpose of what they were meant to do. This has eliminated my acne, and doesn't make my skin red or irritated like every other cleanser I've tried. It's. bit costly for a drugstore product, but it comes in a giant bottle and lasts forever. I've been using the same bottle since February and still have at least 1/4 of the bottle left. Highly recommend this!

I had extremely bad acne, but my face started to clear up after using this as my daily face wash. it has never broken me out, and it makes my face feel very clean.

For too long, the War on Drugs has been a sacrosanct undertaking that was virtually immune from criticism in the public realm. Politicians dared not disagree for fear of being stigmatized as "soft on crime." Any activist who spoke up was dismissed as a fringe element.
But recently, I discovered just how much that's changing–and that's how I came to speak out on behalf of an extraordinary organization called the Drug Policy Alliance.

EBay and LVMH settle intellectual property dispute
EBay and luxury goods brand owner LVMH Moet Hennessy have reached an agreement over the sales of counterfeit goods on the auction site, drawing a line under a litigious dispute that has been ongoing for several years.
EBay: auction site and luxury goods brand owner LVMH have settled ongoing dispute
The companies have issued a joint statement, saying that as a result of their agreement, "consumers will enjoy a safer digital environment globally".
Both companies have said they are putting in place measures aimed at protecting intellectual property rights and preventing the sale of counterfeit goods, although they have not elaborated.
The agreement follows a dispute that kicked off in 2006, when LVMH sued eBay, accusing it of selling counterfeit goods on the ecommerce site and saying that the sale of genuine LVMH perfumes through unofficial sales channels was damaging to its business.
The action resulted in a French court ordering eBay to pay LVMH €38.5m (£30.51m), but in 2008, following an appeal, that sum was reduced to €5.7m.
Four years later, a French court of appeal ruled that the court did not have jurisdiction over eBay's US website, but judgement was upheld with regard to the company's UK and French sites.
But this week, years of legal to-ing and fro-ing has been brought to a close with a settlement to the litigation.
In a joint statement, Michael Jacobson, eBay's senior vice-president and general counsel, and Pierre Godé, LVMH's vice-president, said: "Thanks to our joint efforts, consumers will enjoy a safer digital environment globally."
Commenting on the settlement, Gary McIlraith, chief executive of online brand specialist NetNames, said: "The luxury goods sector is the tip of the iceberg and is arguably the industry where counterfeit detection and enforcement on the internet is most developed.
"In the first six months of this year, NetNames removed websites and online marketplace listings selling counterfeit luxury goods with an estimated value of over £450m.
"To avoid falling into the 'black hole' of e-crime, businesses need to identify the biggest threats facing their individual brands, prioritise those that pose the greatest risk and proactively take down infringements.
"Only then is it possible to start taking steps that protect the value of the brand online, safeguard consumers and avoid losing sales to fraudsters."

Astro IPTV, Time, TM Unifi, Maxis and more! All the home broadband plans in Malaysia reviewed below!
Home Broadband 101 - ADSL vs Fibre to the Home (FTTH)
There are actually many ways in which you can experience the internet at home these days. In the past it used to be via dial-up, where you make a 'phone call' from your computer to the internet provider and after the dial-up modem making some noise it gives you access to the internet.
Broadband, other than being faster than dial-up offers a couple of other key benefits. It's always connected, so you don't need to wait for the internet provider to 'answer your call', and it allows you to make and receive phone calls on the same line while it's being used.
The old style ADSL broadband (most people's experience of it is through TM's Streamyx service) is normally delivered to your home via the standard copper phone line so you normally don't have to do any extra drilling or installing, while fibre to the home (FTTH) requires some extra work as its typically delivered through a different line which needs to be installed.
Normally you'll get a broadband modem and/or router, which allows your computer to use the signal, of course, all this equipment costs the service provider money, so most will lock you into a minimum 12-month contract (for FTTH 24-month contracts are the norm!) to recoup costs.
So there was first dial-up in the 90s, then ADSL broadband from Streamyx/Jaring/Maxis in the 2000s. Since introduced to the mass market by TM in 2010, Fibre-to-the-Home was touted to be the next generation in getting internet into Malaysian's homes (and offices), with unlimited bandwidth and the cost to have this service almost as comparable as the conventional ADSL broadband.
Basically, FTTH is supposed to be faster, more reliable and not necessarily that much more expensive than ADSL broadband.
Sounds like digital dream but we're not sold until it is available to every home in Malaysia. As of 2014, FTTH is currently being rolled out in stages across the country, with a handful of providers offering plans to the public.
Before we dissect the plans offered by the broadband players to find out which is the cheapest plan you can get, it is worth to note that they will be grouped into FTTH and non-FTTH (ADSL and mobile broadband but what's stopping you from using it at home). We know the agony of living outside FTTH coverage areas, hence the non-FTTH category to fulfill your Internet needs for now.
Only providers with coverage of at least the Klang Valley and 10 major cities in Malaysia are eligible for this showdown. This means guys like Jaring, VDT and Giga are left out. We will look at the plans in a 24-month context and show you how much money you can actually save by choosing the right plan.
Road warriors and those who don't need WiFi at home, you're not #foreveralone. We have a Cheapest Mobile Broadband section especially for you!
Cheapest Fibre To The Home Broadband (the 'faster' type)
Astro - Time: B.yond IPTV Broadband TF3 3Mbps RM128/month
Monthly Fee: RM 128/month (RM 103/month - bundled with Astro Super Pack)

The prices of the Astro Super Packs range from RM133 to RM155 and additional RM 25 discount is applicable when bundled with Astro Super Packs.

Unfortunately, you cannot subscribe for the home broadband only without the Astro package. For those who only want to get home broadband from TIME, TIME also offers other standalone packages like the TIME Fibre 100Mbps Home Broadband, TIME Broadband 2M and etc.
Time Fibre Unlimited Home Broadband 8Mbps RM129/month

Astro - Time: B.yond IPTV Broadband TF6 6Mbps RM148/month
Monthly Fee: RM148/month
|Go To Astro
If you are already an Astro subscriber or you plan to subscribe to Astro and home broadband, or if you feel that the speed of Astro B.yond IPTV Broadband TF3 is not fast enough, then you may be interested in this plan. In collaboration with TIME, Astro B.yond IPTV Broadband TF6 comes in as one of the cheaper plans for those who are subscribed to Astro.
This package offers 6Mbps and Astro Super Pack Channels along with a free Astro decoder with HD + PVR capable of recording up to 300 hours and a Fibre WiFi Modem & Wi-Fi router. The prices of the Astro Super Packs range from RM133 to RM155. We make assumption that you choose Super Pack 1, 2 or 4, which cost RM133 per month. As such, the monthly fee you need to pay is RM256 (RM123 for home broadband + RM133 for the Super Pack).
Another great feature about this plan is the fact that you can get a free boost to 30Mbps for 30 hours per month. Unfortunately, you cannot subscribe for the home broadband only without the Astro package. For those who only want to get home broadband from TIME, TIME also offers other standalone packages such as the TIME Fibre 100Mbps Home Broadband, TIME Broadband 2M and etc.
Maxis Home Fibre Internet Fast - 10Mbps RM148/month
Monthly Fee: RM148/month
|Go To Maxis
Maxis have a good offer now, before that you need to pay RM168/month for Home Fibre Internet Faster plan, but now you can enjoy the plan at RM148/month only. This price is not only for Maxis existing customer, this mean that you can get the plan RM148/month even you are not existing Maxis customer.
The installation fee of RM200 is still waived, however additional charges will be incurred should you require a non-standard installation. The RM 75 phone service deposit is also waived until further notice. For non-Malaysian residents, an RM 500 fee is applicable.
Maxis is still quite new to the FTTH (HSBB) market, so do check if your home is hooked up and ready for it first! Check your Fibre availability here. Warning: RM500 termination fee will be charged if you terminate within the contract period.
TM UniFi VIP 5 - 5Mbps RM149/month
Monthly Fee: RM149/month
|Go To TM
TM has the widest coverage area among all, so it may be your only option for many. So what does UniFi VIP 5 offer? You get 5Mbps with unlimited quota (until further notice) for RM149/month. The package comes along with a full set of TM Home Internet equipment and HyppTV Channels.
There are no installation fees for now as the installation fee (RM200) and relocation fee (RM300) are waived until further notice. Warning: termination within contract period will be charged RM500!
Quick Comparison of FTTH Providers' entry level offerings:
|Plan Name
|Speed (Mbps)
|Quota (GB)
|Monthly Fee(RM)
|Total Cost over 24 months
|Time: B.yond IPTV Broadband TF3
|Time Fibre Unlimited Home broadband 8Mbps
|Home Fibre Internet Fast
|Time: B.yond IPTV Broadband TF6
|UniFi VIP 5
*existing Astro Super Pack subscribers enjoy a RM25/month discount and thus effectively pay RM103 for TF3 and RM123 for their TF6 package. Non Astro subscribers will have to subscribe for Astro TV (additional RM75-RM130) in addition to the broadband monthly fee.
Cheapest FTTH (above 20Mbps)
TIME Fibre 100Mbps Home High Speed Broadband - a blazing 100Mbps for RM179 / month - Cheaper than many 20Mbps options (but can you really tell the difference at those speeds?)
Monthly Fee: RM179 / month
|Go To Time
If having a speed of 100Mbps wasn't enough to tempt those speed junkies out there, maybe the RM179 / month price will. At those prices, TIME Fibre Home Broadband comes up cheapest for broadband plans in Malaysia above 10Mbps, slaying TM's Unifi, Astro's own Time-provided IPTV broadband, and guys like Maxis and P1.
The real downer here is that there is a data quota (!) of 100GB, while that certainly is enough for more people, for serious HD movie lovers, online gamers and downloaders that quota can be very easily chewed up, especially with the supposed 100Mbps speed. For more on Speed and Quota, read our Broadband Speed vs Quota article.
The other point of contention is that the service is not yet available to landed properties (supposedly coming within the next 12 months), so the service is stuck to businesses and high rise buildings for now.
Maxis Home Fibre Internet - 20Mbps at RM198/month
Monthly Fee: RM198/month
|Go To Maxis
Maxis have a good offer now, previously you needed to pay RM238/month for their 20Mpbs Home Fibre Internet package, but now you can enjoy the plan at just RM198/month. This price is not only for Maxis existing customers, meaning that you can get the plan even if you are not an existing Maxis customer.
The installation fee of RM200 is still waived, however additional charges will be incurred should you require a non-standard installation. The RM 75 phone service deposit is also waived until further notice. For non-Malaysian residents, an RM 500 fee is applicable.
Maxis is still quite new to the FTTH (HSBB) market, so do check if your home is hooked up and ready for it first! Check your Fibre availability here. Warning: RM500 termination fee will be charged if you terminate within the contract period.
Cheapest Non-FTTH (ADSL and Mobile-but-use-at-home Broadband)
For people not yet in Fibre-ready areas, non-FTTH provides a cost effective solution sometimes without having to sacrifice on speed! However, in many cases unlimited downloads are out of the window. As before, only providers with coverage of at least the Klang Valley and 10 major cities in Malaysia are eligible for this showdown. This means guys like Maxis Home Wired and Jaring are left out.
Speeds advertised by the products are not necessarily the same everywhere. It is important to know that the main thing to consider is not so much the max speed but rather, the speed you can expect to get from your area. We lay our plans out according to lowest price because we feel it is the most consistent way for comparison.
TIME Broadband 2M - 2Mbps RM119/month
Monthly Fee: RM119/month
|Go To TIME
If Fibre is not ready for your area, then we guess you are looking for the best ADSL plan in the market. The availability of TIME Broadband is limited also so you still need to check for the availability for your area. TIME Broadband 2M is the cheapest plan in this category and the download quota for this plan is unlimited. But, you can't expect too much for the speed of this plan, because it's only 2Mbps.
TIME also offer 12-months contract for TIME Broadband 2M. If you prefer 12-months contract, you need to pay RM150 installation fee, one month advance fee of RM119 (refundable) and RM10 stamp duty. So, the total upfront cost you need to pay is RM279.
If you really feel that 2Mbps is too slow, you can actually get free boost from TIME. How it works? You can get additional 2Mbps for 4 hours per day. Besides that, you can get free modem if you sign up for TIME Broadband 2M.
TM BB Deal 1Mbps - RM110/month
Monthly Fee: RM110/month
|Go To TM
If your area is not available for TIME Broadband, then TM BB Deal 1Mbps may be right plan for you if you are looking for ADSL plan in the market. TM wins by having the widest coverage but the monthly fee for 1Mbps is RM110.
This plan comes with free call to other TM lines, so it would only be cheaper for heavy home phone users. But, the good side is you can get unlimited download quota in this plan. Besides that, you will get free cordless phone and WiFi modem with the contract.
Now, you can get free one month subscription for online registration. You can also get RM2 per month for auto-pay subscription. Thus, if you subscribe for auto-pay then you need to pay RM108 month.
ToGo 69 Triple Quota - 1Mbps RM69/month
Monthly Fee: RM69/month
|Go To P1
* This promotion is offered until further notice.
Celcom PortaWiFi + First Data Pro - 21Mbps RM138/month
Monthly Fee: RM138/month
|Go To Celcom
The special part of Celcom Porta WiFi + First Data Pro is you can WiFi your car with this plan. The speed you can get from this plan is up to 21Mbps (be prepared to get less than 21Mbps). Although the speed is quite high, but the data volume you can get it's 10GB only.
Besides RM50 registration fee which is refundable, you need to pay RM100 for postpaid registration fee. If you have credit card, you can sign up for auto billing and enjoy 5% discount on every monthly bill. You can also get RM10 special rebate per month for 12 months when you sign up Celcom Porta WiFi + First Data Pro postpaid. Warning: RM200 penalty will be imposed in the event of early termination.

The SaveMoney.my Home Broadband Comparison Tool
There are so many types of broadband users in Malaysia, ranging from the light website browsers to the heavy downloaders and ping-averse gamers. Each person has their own specific desire from their broadband connection, for this we have created the SaveMoney.my Home Broadband Comparison Tool!
The SaveMoney.my Home Broadband Comparison Tool
Cooling-off Period (COP)
It is important to know whether is there any before you sign anything. COP is a money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied with the performance within 7 days. Otherwise you'd be slapped with penalty/termination fee!
So far, none of the FTTH plans has a COP. As for non-FTTH, only P1, Celcom and U Mobile allow COP.
The COP allows you to test the service, network quality and coverage over 7 days to find out if the speeds and signal strengths are up to your requirements in your locality.
We do not vouch for any provider's customer service as we just look for the cheapest deal out there for you to Save Money but do check out our forum to see what other people are saying or to leave your own comment.

George Will: Digesting the Twinkies' lessons
"All Gods were immortal."
- Stanislaw Lec
And also brands, the gods of the marketplace. Earthquakes may strike, dynasties may fall and locusts may devour the crops, but Oldsmobile and Pan Am are forever. Never mind.
But about the death of Twinkies: Write obituaries in the subjunctive mood. Like Lazarus, but for a reason more mundane than miraculous, this confection may be resurrected. In any case, the crisis of Hostess Brands Inc., the maker of Twinkies, involves two potent lessons. First, market forces will have their way. Second, never underestimate baby boomer nostalgia, which is acute narcissism. The Twinkies melodrama has the boomers thinking - as usual, about themselves: If an 82-year-old brand can die, so can we. Is that even legal?
The late Daniel Boorstin, historian and Librarian of Congress, said Americans belong to "consumption communities." Are you a Ford or Chevy person? Sears Roebuck or Montgomery Ward? Camels or Chesterfields? Wooed by advertising, people plight their troths to brands in marriages that often are more durable than boomers' actual marriages.
Hostess, which had 18,500 employees making and distributing more than 30 brands made in 36 plants, had been in and out of bankruptcy several times since 2004. Its terminal crisis began on Nov. 9 when thousands of members of the bakers union went out on strike to protest wage, health care and pension cuts imposed by a court. The bakers objected to a 17 percent increase in their contribution for their health care benefits.
Amazingly, Washington did not offer Hostess a bailout. This discriminatory policy may be a constitutional violation - denial of equal protection of the laws. Since the onset of the financial crisis, the government has decided that some SIFIs are TBTF - some systemically important financial institutions are too big to fail. Why, any fair-minded person will ask, was Hostess not TBTF?
Granted, it was not big in the technical, crabbed, hairsplitting, narrow-minded way that "big" is normally understood, as a boring matter of mere size. It was, however, big in what matters most - in boomers' minds. They fondly remember opening their Roy Rogers or Hopalong Cassidy or Davy Crockett lunchboxes at school and finding Twinkies nestled next to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches made of Wonder Bread (another endangered Hostess species). Stendhal said that the only way ice cream could be better is if it were a sin. Boomers, a generation of food scolds, became adults who considered Twinkies and other sugary things sinful. They should be shedding scalding tears of remorse.
Anyway, why GM and not Hostess? The Troubled Asset Relief Program, aka TARP, was passed to rescue financial institutions. But Washington reasoned: "What's legality among cronies?" So soon TARP was succoring GM, which was not a financial institution. It was not even a car company. It was a health care provider unsuccessfully trying to sell cars fast enough to generate enough revenue to pay health benefits for its employees and approximately twice as many retirees.
Hostess had in its far-flung operations 372 collective bargaining agreements with various unions that had sought and received - shed no tears for complicit management - some interesting benefits. The Teamsters liked the rule that bread and pastries might be going to the same place but must go in different trucks.
The bakers rejected management's final offer by a voice vote. The Teamsters, who favored a compromise, wanted there to be a secret ballot. This is insouciant insolence by the Teamsters, who are situational ethicists. In Washington, operating from impressive headquarters located on prime real estate at the foot of Capitol Hill, the union's leadership has lobbied Congress for the Employee Free Choice Act. That is the Orwellian title of legislation that would effectively abolish employees' right to secret ballots in unionization elections, replacing them with "card check," whereby individuals confronted by union organizers sign a card indicating support for the union.
The market said that Hostess as configured made no sense. If, however, Twinkies and perhaps other Hostess brands retain value, the market will say so, and someone will produce them. Probably in a right-to-work state, which is how "entrepreneurial federalism" (another Boorstin phrase) should work: Business moves to states that make it welcome.
Whatever else a hospital ought to do, supposedly said Florence Nightingale, it ought not to spread disease. And whatever else unions should do, they should not put employers out of business.

We've had a very wet summer so far here in the upper Midwest — the potholes are full of water, our backyard is sodden, the plants are thriving, but that also means that this plague is drifting in vast clouds everywhere.

ledasmom says
You're not kidding. We went backpacking last week with my mother up near Lake Superior and on the hike out I was holding my hiking sticks both in one hand so I had a free hand to brush the mosquitoes off my legs, and my arms, and my face. It was a continuous process: leg to other leg to arm to face to other arm etc. forever. When we got back to her house I took a look at my face and recoiled; there were sixteen or so bites in maybe four square inches above my left eye. I vaguely resembled The Thing. I had to take antihistamines so as to appear reasonably human in the planned family photos with the new niece and nephew (who are adorable, of course).
When you get out of or into the car at my mother's house, you slam the door quickly to minimize mosquito ingress. Despite this I twice found them flying around the windows with evidence of having recently fed: abdomens full of blood. Even in One of the Largest Cities in Central Minnesota, you are not safe.

Film Review: Fando Y Lis (1968)
SYNOPSIS: Fando and his partially paralyzed lover Lis search for the mythical city of Tar. Based on Jodorowsky's memories of a play by surrealist Fernando Arrabal. REVIEW: Alejandro Jodorowsky has created some fantastic visually engaging films over the years. Each of which I've seen is rich in ideology and surrealities. "Fando y Lis", one of Jodorowsky's early releases is no exception in idea but if a bit more alluding in translation. This Spanish shot film … Continue reading

Once upon a time, there was a man named Jack, who had survived a terrible crisis with a giant some years ago. Jack eventually took up bean farming to provide sustenance for himself and his family. Indeed, beans had become the main medium of exchange in his local town and Jack had established the habit of consuming most of his annual crop and saving a portion, enough to plant for the next season, plus a little extra "just in case."
Those future investments would be what fed Jack and his family next year. The percentage of saved beans, relative to his entire crop, was his savings rate, since the consumption he delayed today was his investment in the next season's production capacity.
Life was great because Jack had reached a state of equilibrium. Jack's own common sense dictated to him this key economic point:
Increasing his personal economic growth is only possible by increasing his rate of investment (planting more beans next year) … and increasing his investment is only possible through an increase in savings (having more beans to plant) … and an increase in savings demands a decrease in his current consumption.
Jack had taken some basic bean counting accounting classes and kept track of his stock in a spreadsheet. He knew precisely the number of beans he had available to satisfy his consumption demands for this year and for planting next season, plus his reserve. The numbers that Jack tracked in his spreadsheet represented actual beans, a "gold standard" of sorts. Those beans were real and the numbers didn't lie.
But having pawned the golden harp to buy his land and having eaten the hen that laid the golden egg for Christmas dinner, Jack yearned to buy some new oxen, more clothes for his family, a new wagon, a beautiful horse, proper schooling for the kids, and many other "finer" things. It occurred to Jack one day (after keying in a typo) that if only his spreadsheet would tack a zero on the end of his current reserves and savings, inflating the numbers, he would be able to use some of his beans to buy those "finer" things he and his family wanted. On a lark, he added the zero himself, just to see what it would do to his income statement.
"Wow," Jack thought to himself, "I could get those things now and just worry about replenishing my seed stock later." And that's exactly what he did. Jack and his family were suddenly in utopia with all the newer, finer things they wanted. Jack's family nominated him for Father of the Year in the local town and since he had 12 kids, and they all voted for him, he won in a landslide. It felt great! Economists would call this the boom phase of an inflationary business cycle.
But planting time rolled around shortly thereafter, and Jack planted what remained of his beans, knowing he would never harvest enough, even with newer technologies in fertilizers and pest control. "But, I can always borrow some beans from Mr. Chow," Jack reasoned. "He knows I'm good for it." Sure enough, Jack experienced a predicted shortfall at harvest time as his new, "finer" things weren't so new anymore. Jack bought more things, hoping to get that euphoric feeling again, but it was a little hollow this time around.
You don't get out of debt by going into more debt.
That year, his needs consumed everything he harvested … and it still wasn't enough. He approached Mr. Chow who willingly lent him some beans for next year's planting, based on the spreadsheet Jack showed him. "I'll lend you 50 pounds of beans, but next year, you have to pay me back with 100 pounds of beans!" Mr. Chow drove a hard bargain. The interest rate was large, but Jack disregarded it because of his intense need for more beans. He didn't worry that his fiat currency, his loaded books so to speak, were incorrect because once again, his needs were temporarily met and life was again good. There would always be time to worry later.
What happened in the next season? Since typing another zero didn't actually create more beans, Jack was unpleasantly surprised when his bean stock (his capital) suddenly ran out, and wasn't sufficient to meet his planned or unplanned expenses. He sold his new clothing in a rummage sale, and many of those "finer" in things were traded, pawned, or returned to the store from whence they came. Jack found out that without a true accounting of his available investment capital (the seed stock), accurate long term planning became impossible and short term needs trumped everything. Welcome to the bust phase of the inflationary business cycle!
The best way for Jack to get back on track is for him to drastically cut his consumption rate, pay down his debt, and restore his seed capital and reserves.
If Jack could learn from his economic failures and fallacies, make some wise decisions, and cut his current consumption to restore his savings and pay his mounting debts, he could pull himself up out of the hole he had dug. But suppose he petitions some bureaucrats, convincing them that "HIS farm CANNOT fail because its too important to the local economy?" When the bureaucrats decide to implement a "bailout plan" by adding some more zeroes to his spreadsheet so Jack can get more loans to support his unsustainable consumption level, what happens in future seasons?
Jack may temporarily "rescue" his personal economy this season with the help of bureaucrats but it's at the cost of further depleting his investment capital. He won the "vote" of his kids but has even less capital reserves for next season. Rather than making hard decisions to recover his personal economy, he further distorted his grasp of reality. Now he has no idea how many beans were available to consume, and how many he needs to save. He can attempt to borrow more beans from his neighbors, but unless he can drastically cut consumption to pay the interest, those neighbors will eventually grow impatient and refuse to lend any more. The more he tries to convince himself that the illusion is real, the more out of touch he becomes. Alas, as the falsified numbers on his spreadsheet showed exponential growth, his actual consumption plummeted toward zero. It was all a lie.
No one can correct over consumption with more consumption.
So what did Jack do? He drastically cut his consumption rate. He rented out a portion of his home to business travelers. He set up a co-operative that would allow farmers to buy fertilizers and pest controls in bulk (taking a small cut for storing those items on his farm), he learned to make his own clothing, he leased out 25 acres of his land that he couldn't farm himself to a share cropper, in short, he learned to make extra money to help get himself out of debt.
Few people actually behave like Jack and deny the objects and events that happen before their very eyes. But in economics, too many people, including politicians, "mainstream" economists, and investors unconsciously follow the philosophical principles that reality is driven by social consensus, and the success or failure of our markets depend only on the optimism or pessimism of consumers and investors. This goes far beyond the fairy tale belief that wishes affect reality, this is a belief that one's wishes ARE reality if enough people share the delusion.
Economic principles are really quite simple. The key to is to understand that the same principles that apply to your personal finances, and even to your dealings with your local merchants apply equally to the world at large, at all levels of economy activity. Don't delude yourself or allow yourself to be deluded. Violating basic economic principles will eventually come back to haunt you

Some of the juices offered by Harvest Juicery. Red juice is Watermelon, Cayenne, Sweet Basil. Orange is Carrot, Apple, Ginger. Green is Spinach, Kale, Turnip Greens, Cucumber, Pear, Lime. | Michael R. Schmidt-For Sun-Times Media

For Krissy Sciarra, the art of juicing is as challenging and enjoyable as creating gourmet meals — but without the fat, cholesterol and excess. Today, it's a glass of fennel juice with orange, lemon and mint. Tomorrow, beet juice with orange, turmeric and tarragon. Bottoms up!
Recipe testing has long been Sciarra's passion, and so has nutrition. That's why the Culinary Institute of America grad opened Harvest Juicery, a Chicago-based business she refers to as "a 21st century milkman that really does your body good." There, she creates 16-ounce bottles of cold-pressed juice at $8 a pop, with flavors that range from tempting — watermelon, sweet basil and cayenne — to, well, very green — romaine, spinach, parsley, watercress, pomegranate. (Harvest Juicery will open a storefront at 1012 W. Lake by month's end.)
What started as a hobby — making juices for herself and friends — has morphed into a full-time business. Harvest Juicery sells eight juices (and one almond cashew milk blend), with deliveries to Chicago addresses. Sciarra's success hints that juicing, once considered something of a fringe trend for the hemp-wearing crowd, has gone mainstream. "My client is pretty much your corporate America client. They're the person on the go, they don't like to cook, they don't get their vegetables enough in a day," says Sciarra.
In fact, juicing is a quick and easy way to add nearly all of the recommended fruit and vegetable servings into one portable container, says Dawn Jackson Blatner, a Chicago-based registered dietitian who wrote an e-book on juicing, called "Get Juiced: Super-charged Nutrition Fresh from Your Blender."
Blatner says that if you're pondering a future in juicing, there are two types to consider. One is the classic method of juicing, in which you're extracting the juice from fruits and vegetables (cold-pressed juice, like that of Harvest Juicery, falls into this category). In that method, the result is a concentrated cup of go-juice. "There is no way I could eat a pound of carrots right now and half of an apple and a one-inch piece of raw ginger and a whole lemon. I cannot sit and eat that," says Blatner. "If I were to juice it, it concentrates all those nutrients and allows me to get a lot in a very little amount of time. That is the mega pro for juicing." The con: You lose the fiber, which makes you feel full and helps in digestion.
The other juicing method, called complete juicing, involves blending fruits and vegetables in a high-power blender. "The pro is, holy cow, you get the fiber. But because you're getting the fiber, you're going to fill up faster so it can't be as concentrated nutrition," says Blatner. "So you still can't eat a pound of carrots at a time."
Blatner recommends both forms of juicing, each for different reasons. Concentrated juicing, she says, is like a multi-vitamin. "I'm thinking about that as a mega powerhouse punch-in-the-face of vitamins and minerals," she says. Complete juicing, then, is more of a snack or a healthy addition to a meal.
Whichever method a juicer chooses, Blatner cautions to be aware of just how much sugar they're drinking. If you're using only fruits, the concentration can be quite high. Blatner recommends that beginners aim for a blend of 50 percent fruit and 50 percent vegetable. If you like the taste, she says, try gradually increasing the veggies and lowering the fruit to control the sugar.
Juicing is something that anyone can do, says Blatner, but it takes time and preparation. In her book, she highlights the fact that you don't have to invest in an expensive juicer to start juicing. A blender is, in fact, a wonderful gateway juicer (just expect to add additional liquids, such as herbal or green tea, to help break the fruits and veggies down).
She warns that the cost of fruits and vegetables adds up — and so does the potential for a mess. That explains why so many juicers enter the pulverizing fray with such enthusiasm and then lose interest. And that's why juice businesses, like Harvest Juicery, are so successful.
"It does take a lot of time and care to buy all this produce and juice it," says Blatner. "It is not as fast as getting something at the doughnut shop."

Book Description:
The beginning idea for this collection of stories came in the 1980's. I served in Vietnam from February of 1968 to February 1969. I was with the First Air Cavalry Division in II Corps, I Corps, and III Corps, in that order. I have since returning to 'The World' read several books and seen many movies dealing with the trauma of war in Vietnam. I could relate to many of these in part only, as my experiences were different than every other service person in the country between 1952 and 1975. I did sense in all these efforts that camaraderie and humor had been overlooked to a large degree. In meetings with other veterans I participated with the US concerning with our fears, and how we effectively supported each other in coping with our losses. I saw there were good times spent together, and how talking about these times helped some vets to better heal. The stories in this book were told to me over four years of informal meetings with other veterans. Some couldn't recall names of people or places. Some stories were sketchy and incomplete. As much detail is included as we were able to find. There were good times in Vietnam for many. I hope these stories help show a different aspect of our involvement. The Contributors and myself wanted to show that humor can exist in the worst of places, and that laughter may keep one from falling off the edge of insanity. If these stories do help veterans to recall their own good times, or assist them in 'coming home', then our greatest wish was answered

IE8 cross domain links not working
Suddenly when using IE8 when I try to access a link that's not on the same domain IE8 refuses to do anything. (Can't open in tab, can't open in new window, won't go in same window). Can keep clicking it but nothing happens. Nada, zilch! If I click on the link whilst holding down the Ctrl key a new tab opens that says connecting but doesn't get anywhere and, interestingly, both open tabs turn bright green!
Copy and paste of the shortcut, of course works fine but its very frustrating.
It doesn't happen in Firefox so I assume its not anything to do with my AVG anti-virus programme.
I've tried many suggested solutions in the Advance Settings of the Internet Options but nothing is making any difference.

If you were ever on the fence in the ongoing Team LeAnn Rimes vs. Team Brandi Glanville feud, there's one thing that will likely get you off that fence:
LeAnn & Eddie. The couple's reality show is that bloody terrible.
Brandi Glanville has always held a certain place in our hearts due to her unfiltered nature, unabashed sarcasm, underrated wit and occasional charm.
Not to mention how amazing she looks in a bikini. Wowza.
Well, Rimes proves with each passing week how she and Cibrian are completely unable to demonstrate similarly redeeming qualities. On the contrary.
If you've been watching LeAnn & Eddie, and we feel sorry for you if you do, you know the extent to which these two will slam Brandi early and often.
Not that Glanville hasn't dished it out plenty in her day, but at this point, they just look sad dragging this out on TV, and she knows it too, Tweeting:

Every day at our roastery in Kemp Town and our St James's Street coffee house, we roast fine arabica coffees on our (red) roasters and chalk up the roasting date on the blackboard in the cafe. You can order a cafetière and sample any of them on the premises. As well as our renowned House Blend, below you will find a selection of single estate origins from growers around the world who believe that quality is the key to sustainability. To read more about the ethical sourcing of green beans please go to the 'Wholesale' tab.
All our coffees are available, whole bean or ground, in 125g, 250g, 500g, 1kg or 2.5kg;bags with a one-way valve to keep them fresh. To taste coffee beans at their best, they should be left to develop in the bag for two to three days after roasting. Paul Stephens, head coffee roaster, is chiefly responsible for their selection. Recently he became a Q Grader, one of just over 1,000 worldwide. This means he is qualified by the Quality Coffee Institute to judge coffees (submitted for grading by growers all over the world) as 'specialty', that is, one of the best coffees in the world. Only if a coffee scores 80 points or higher, as scored by three Q graders, can it be certified. Paul writes on Redroaster's coffees below. The prices quoted are for retail, wholesale prices are available on application.
Please call 01273 686668 or send us a message via the contact page.
HOUSE BLEND 125g retail £2.50 Medium-dark roastThroughout the year, as crops come and go, we select the best single origin coffees for our House Blend, used every day in the coffee house to make a sweet and balanced espresso. They are individually roasted to bring out their unique character before being blended to a harmonious whole.
The blend, which uses 100 per cent arabica beans, is currently composed of Brazil Samambaia, Nicaragua Cesar Julio Zuniga (Nueva Segovia) and El Salvador Finca El Talapo. Paul says: "In a cafetière or through a filter you will get a really smooth cup with full body and a mellow chocolate/dried vine fruit flavour."
COSTA RICA 125g retail £2.80Finca La Casa Gerado Vargas RojasLight-medium roastOne day, 40 years ago, Don Gerardo Vargas was rather taken aback by the acceptance of his proposal to a local landowner to buy a small farm - not least because he had only been married for 22 days and had not a dollar to his name. But by persuading his neighbours to guarantee his honour, he finally acquired the farm.
In 2000 the Gloria lot was changed to raising cattle. In 2010, Don Gerardo decided it was high time it was used for growing coffee again, and he replanted the area with 95 per cent Villa Sarchí and 5 per cent Yellow Catuaí. The now 3-year-old trees are happily producing excellent coffee. A surprisingly sweet, smooth-bodied coffee with almond, honey and apricot undertones and a tangerine acidity.
EAST TIMOR 125g retail £2.60 New!LauanaMedium-dark roastIn 2002 the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste became the 21st century's first new sovereign state but for many of us, East Timor specialty coffee is an exciting new discovery.
Smokey, full bodied and peppery, the coffees offer an interesting contrast to the produce typical of their neighbours.
Unlike the processing method used in Indonesia, coffee is fully washed. It is then sun-dried at an elevation of between 1300 and 2000 metres, depending of the cooperative. Once dried, the coffee is transported in parchment to the Capital Dili, where it is hulled and hand-sorted.
The Cooperative at Luauana lies in the administrative district of Ermera, to the north west of the country, approximately 76 kilometres from the capital, Dili.
ETHIOPIA 125g: £2.80YirgacheffeLight roastRecent developments in Ethiopia have seen a centralisation of all coffee exports through the recently established Ethiopia Commodity Exchange (ECX). This has made it virtually impossible to provide precise traceability of the Yirgacheffe coffees which arrive at the Exchange. This coffee has been selected on the basis of its exceptional cup profile. Yirga Cheffe is part of the Sidamo region in southern Ethiopia, a steep green area which is both fertile and high (the coffee is grown at 2000m and above. The vast majority of Ethiopians still make a living from farming; each family lives in a modest home (often a single round mud hut) and farms their own plot of land where they grow both cash crops and their own food.This coffee has an intense floral aroma, a bright citrus acidity in the cup with notes of jasmine, peach and bergamot.

ISO: Nabeyaki Udon and Katsu Curry
My latest food obsession! I've had the nebayaki udon at Ginza (the one Beacon St.), and Fugakyu (also on Beacon) I think the one at Fugakyu had more veg in the broth. Also, there was less broth. They were both good. I've only had the katsu curry at Ginza, and I thought it was dry. I thought there would be a sauce.
So, where else should I go for these dishes? Is there something more to them? I wouldn't want to be missing out!
The nabeyaki udon at Sakura Bana in downtown Boston is quite good - in fact, their whole array of udon/soba dishes are better than most Japanese restaurants in the area. I'd definitely recommend you try it there.
I don't eat katsu as much in Boston (calories!) but if you enjoy katsu kare, I'd recommend making a pit stop at Cafe Mami in the Porter Square eatery by Lesley College. With Kotobukiya closed, there's less incentive for me to hop over, but a lot of the eateries in the food court are decent. Cafe Mami has some pretty good, hard to find in the US (let alone Boston) yoshoku. Their hamburg plates are also really good.
re: kobuta
I love cafe mami, but for katsu curry I tend to frequent Tampopo in the same food court. I love that they offer chicken breast if you want it, but of course you can get pork or chicken thigh. While you're at it, get a curry croquette; it is so good!
re: voodoocheese
Tampopo has the better katsu and the cream croquette is wonderfully good!
Agree 100% with Mami for katsu.
For nabeyaki, I'm surprised to find myself saying that the best one I've had in a restaurant in Boston was actually at a place I otherwise dislike: Gari, in Coolidge Corner. I only had it there once, so I don't know if it was a fluke, but the broth was tasty, they weren't stingy with oden, the noodles weren't overcooked, and it was just generally very pleasant.
re: another_adam
Thanks, everyone! I'll check them all out! That curry croquette sounds yummy! I'm a croquette fan from way back.
re: another_adam
Agreed - not a big fan of Gari's despite its closeness, but the nabeyaki udon there is good - great broth, resilient noodles, pretty balanced in a bowl about the size as the one you'd get at fugakyu. We've eaten Gari's nabeyaki udon three times, so I think the results should be reliable.
We tried the nabeyaki udon at Shiki earlier this month - it's on the small side. The broth was good, but the broth:solid ratio was too small and the noodles a little soft.
Just remembered in the context of another post that Shiki on Harvard has nabeyaki udon. I've somehow never tried it, which is weird, since I love nabeyaki and trust Shiki-- usually just more tempted by other things there, I guess. I'd say it's definitely worth a shot, since they are generally very good and quite authentic in their preparations.
(They also have tonkatsu, and I think they at least sometimes have curry, I'm not sure if they have the combination. You could ask, though!)
I had cold udon at Shiki a couple of times over the summer and it was great. I know they have nabeyaki too, I'd bet it's good.
Mr. Sushi in Brookline also has Nabeyaki udon, I had it once long ago but don't recall what I thought of it (not bad for sure).
Ken's noodle has curry, but no katsu I guess. I haven't tried it but it smells good. Men Tei in Back Bay also has katsu curry.
ittyo (also in the food court at the porter exchange building) has a few different versions of nabeyaki. i haven't had it so i can't vouch for it
i fourth the recommendation for the katsu curry at cafe mami. it includes free refills of steamed white rice and you can top it with a fried egg and cheese for a few dollars more. you can also get their delicious curry sauce on other items such as tatsuta (boneless fried chicken) and the hamburg set
re: galangatron
I can't remember if I've had the nabeyaki at Ittyo, but I've had a couple other udon items there: kimuchi udon, and one other--possibly kitsune udon?. Unfortunately, I found it very underwhelming both times: unexciting broth, measly few veg, and overcooked/mushy noodles. I guess they're partly at the mercy of the fact that it's just generally hard to get good udon in Boston (even Kotobukiya had a paltry selection), but it was just not an inspired rendition... more towards an instant bowl udon experience.
I should note, though, that both occasions were a few years ago by now, so maybe things are different and improved now.
