Debbie Daly has been teaching yoga since 1999 and is the founder and owner of an award-winning yoga studio in Arizona. Drop-ins are very welcome ($10) and reservations are not required.
FLOW YOGA (Sundays & Thursdays) This mixed-level yoga class combines invigorating, strengthening movements with gentle postures that invite awareness and breath. The emphasis is on one's inner experience and intuition rather than on outer form. An energizing set of postures inspired by Vinyasa Yoga and Yang Yoga is followed by a set of quiet and relaxing Yin Yoga postures, and a guided deep relaxation. Beginners and experienced students are welcome.
YIN YOGA (Tuesdays) In this quiet and relaxing yoga class, gentle stretching postures are held for 3-5 minutes at a time. The stillness takes practitioners deep into postures that calm the mind, lengthen the connective tissues, and increase energy flow. This practice is very beneficial for the joints, especially the hips and lower back. Gentle enough all students, including seniors. These yin yoga classes are inspired by Debbie's extensive study with Paul Grilley.

Why Is Gm Selling Cars With Known Problems Then Avoiding Them
Posted by
ANYTOWN -- I have a 2004 Saturn Ion 2 and so do a lot of other people. THE PROBLEMS ARE:THE IGNITON WIRING IS WRONG AND YOUR CAR WON'T START IN THE WINTER, THE BLINKER/HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLY KEEPS GOING OUT, THE SWAY BAR LINKS AND BUSHINGS KEEP GOING OUT, WINDSHIELD WIPER ASSEMBLY BRAKES, WINDOWS WILL OPERATE WITH CAR SHUT OFF. Now all these problems are happening to these vehicles, not just mine. If you do a few searches on the items I mentioned, you will find a boat load of people who have been complaining for years. I contacted GM several times and got the run around and finally got hold of someone who told me that there are NO RECALLS FOR THE PROBLEMS I MENTIONED. So basically GM is saying there are no problems to have a recall. But I noticed in my researching online that they did have recalls for different vehicles and years with the same problems. This tells me they really didn't check ALL THERE VEHICLES OR THEY JUST KEPT USING THE SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS. HOW CAN THESE CAR COMPANIES GET AWAY WITH THIS YEAR AFTER YEAR. How come someone can't sit down and do research on these problems on the net like we do and see there is a problem?? BECAUSE THEY ALREADY KNOW THESE PROBLEMS EXIST AND THEY ARE GETTING AWAY WITH DOING NOTHING!!! I WILL NEVER BUY A GM CAR AGAIN AND I HOPE THEY GO OUT OF BUSINESS!!! THEN AGAIN, THE GOVERNMENT WILL JUST BAIL THEM OUT AGAIN.
The government right now is on Toyota's butt about their problems, maybe they need to take care of the UNITED STATES CITIZENS WHO ARE GETTING SCREWED BY GM!!!! I REPEAT-I WILL NEVER BUY A GM CAR AGAIN!! FRICK'N LOSERS AT GM!!!

Saturn of Bellevue Washington Jack Fox
Posted by
Pro Bono
BELLEVUE, WASHINGTON -- Beware of this dealership. The president of this company has little (if any)integrity in his treatment of partners, employees and associates. The president of this company, a former GM executive, treats his partner with disdain and disrespect. If he would do that to someone who helped him in his business, what would he do to a customer?
The president of these dealerships has sought to remain a dealer with the new Saturn. He was with General Motors and shall we say, he did not retire because of "irregularities". He has fired employees because they had endured serious illness, compromising medical insurance premiums he would pay. He has been "hostile" in his treatment of his partner's widow. He has failed to report operation results in a timely manner to his partners.
If this is the operational philosophy of the company leadership, what is the cultural treatment to customers? The old GM operated with arrogance and it seems this former GM executive has carried that forward in his Saturn franchise for the Seattle market.
We are in an environment for change and what a great opportunity to be a "Different Kind of Company".

Don't even THINK about dying if you own a Saturn
Posted by
ORLANDO, FL - ALL AIRPORTS (ORL), FLORIDA -- My mother passed away recently. I was her only child, so it was up to me to wind up her affairs. One thing I have to do is to dispose of her 2004 Saturn Ion. She died in the hospital and no one seemed to know what happened to her car keys.
I thought, no problem, I'll go to the dealer with the VIN and get a new key. No way, they told me. They flatly refused to make a new key unless the car's owner was "physically standing in front" of them. What was I supposed to do, bring in her ashes??
I called the Saturn customer service number and they backed up the dealer. It didn't matter to them that I had the death certificate in hand and that my mother died without a will.
So, in addition to the trauma I was already going through, I was getting jerked around by these pinheads. They should be ashamed.
And they probably wonder why no one wants their crappy cars and the crappy service that goes with them.

It is not just Saturn dealers. Every MVD has severely tightened up security procedures since an actress was murdered by a freak who paid three dollars to obtain her Driver's License information. When my wife''s former husband got killed by a drunk driver, he owned a Honda motorcycle. It was registered and titled in his name only, and she had a heck of a time trying to get the paperwork changed so she could dispose of it. While it does not help the OP, others can help make it easier on survivors if they take steps like having a second set of keys in a safe deposit box, or have paperwork in more than one person's name. It is very unusual that a person will know when they are going to pass away, so they can get articles disposed of first. BTW, a certified copy of the person's death certificate goes a long way to smoothing out this type of problem.
Soaring Consumer on 06/19/2009:
Did you bring proof that you were the executor of the estate as well? My condolences for your loss.
madconsumer on 06/19/2009:
we had to do the same with my mother's vehicle when she passed. all we did was show proof of death, and all went our way.
Soaring Consumer on 06/19/2009:
According to the review, the OP did have the death certificate in hand.
jktshff1 on 06/19/2009:
Sorry for your loss, you need a good estate lawyer. Been through it with brother, mother, father, inlaws etc. that's the only way.
In his lifetime a guy needs a good
1. lawyer
2. dr
3. insurance man
All mine are younger than me and have been with me for over 40 yrs. Trust them like family. I will die before they do so I won't have to look for another one.

I understand that everybody has rules but what what they are putting you through is just crap. I hope you can work it out and I'm sorry for your loss.
MaggieMcT on 06/20/2009:
I understand you are upset, and this was a terrible time to have to deal with this. But, if they had made the key, and then it turned out you were some scammer who had gotten the death certificate illegitimately, they would have been liable for your mother's loss of the car. They weren't doing this just to jerk you around, they were doing it to protect themselves.
moneybags on 06/20/2009:
Call a local locksmith. Explain the situation and provide the proof. He should be able to help. However, some keys have chips that only the manufacturer can provide. You may have to write to the manufacturer, provide the proof a nd be prepared to pay about $100 to obtain a computer chip key. Been there......
tnchuck100 on 06/20/2009:
In many states if the estate is less than a certain amount ($70,000 in FL) you do not need a lawyer. You can file the probate papers yourself. Have the court appoint you as the executor of the estate. With that documentation in hand the dealer can honor your request.
Anonymous on 06/20/2009:
I'm sorry about your loss. When my mom died, I was the one who had to close all of her credit card accounts. Most of them, save Dillard's, were good about me showing my driver's license, her obituary and closing the account. Dillard's gave me crap, so I asked for a pair of scissors, cut the card in half in front of them and said, "The account is closed." I like the idea of the locksmith above. Good idea. Oh, and it's good advice to all of us to have a will.

The Biggest Piece Of Junk I've Ever Owned...
Posted by
UNITED STATES, VIRGINIA -- I am at my wits end with my car, a 2005 Saturn Ion 2 Quad. Here is the 'short' list of my problems and dealer visits;
#1 – 600 miles – brake lights didn't work, IP didn't work; repair harness and IP.
#2 - 900 miles – radio quit working, doors leaked in the rain; replaced radio and adjusted doors
#3 – 4100 miles – Stranded, car wouldn't start; replaces ignition switch
#4 – 8700 miles – clunking in front end when cornering; replaced bushings
#5 – 9342 miles – radio, gauges and lights malfunctioning; replaced BCM (body control module)
#6 – 13160 miles – Stranded, car wouldn't start; replaced ignition switch
#7 – 21000 miles – car shook while braking and at freeway speeds, also radio malfunctions and steering makes clunk; replaced wheel bearings, rotors, steering shaft and BCM
#8 – 52000 miles – clunks while cornering and gauges malfunction; replaced BCM under 'goodwill'. Told the swaybar bushings are 'wear items' and are not covered
#9 – 53000 miles – Stranded, key will not turn and steering is locked; replaced lock cylinder and was told it was from normal wear and tear. I had to pay $190.
The best part is, I got it home from #9 and it now takes 3-6 key turns to start. And the nearest dealer is Saturn of Harrisonburg, which is over an hour away and over a mountain (seriously). There is something wrong with this car, both mechanically and electrically. I think the latter stems from the initial short that caused the brake lights to fail.

There are lemon laws to cover your car. Google them. You paid good money for a new car and it's a piece of junk. Saturns are not cheap cars, either, but unfortunately, cheaply made. And GM wonders why their sales are down? My ten year old Toyota has never had a problem, other than wear and tear, and when I say none, I mean not one thing. It's not luck, it's a well built little car.

Poor gas mileage
Posted by
HURST, TEXAS -- I purchased a 2006 Saturn Ion a year ago. It has now been in the shop 7 times for the fact that it only gets 18 miles per gallon of gas. A fact determined by logging the miles and dividing by gallons purchsed, you know, the same way we all calculate it. Saturn howeve, claims they have done sone type of in house test and their test says I am getting 37 miles per gallon. In spite of the fact that I have logs to prove otherwise, they now refuse to take any further action to reolsve the issue and say they stand behind their tests. Well of course. But all it would take is even one person to fill the car up, clear the trip, or log the mileage, drive it until its empty, fill it back up and do the math. Yet they now say they have dismissed the issue, basically too bad soo sad, we claim it's gets 37 miles per gallon so you are SOL.
Do not purchase a Saturn Ion, it's a 4 cylinder car when he fuel economy of an 8 cylinder! And worse Saturn won't do what is right for its customers. I discussed filling the lemon law with an attorney and am told my logs will not hold up with a judge as I could have altered them. And that fuel economy is a tough one to prove due to all the variables such as the way a person drives etc.

Anonymous on 12/02/2006:
It does seem rather unlikely that a compact car such as this is only getting the mileage of a typical SUV. Is the vehicle running rough, smoking or not operating correctly? Are you towing something? It's just doesn't seem credible unless there is a fuel leak or some major engine malfunction.
Shortcut on 12/03/2006:
No not pulling anything- car has always felt like you were pulling a trailer form day one , but the mechanics at Saturn say they cannot find the problem. I did go to Saturn Corporate who then told me they stand behind their mechanics and basically I am SOL. Every time I fill up I reset my trip, then when I fill up again I write that number down and divide the gallons I just put in, into that trip figure- isn't that how you do it? The trip says I am never getting more than 220 per tank with a 13 gallon tank. Is that not the way you clock mileage?
Sparticus on 12/04/2006:
You seem to be calculating the mileage correctly. My 7 year old SUV gets better mileage than you are getting. That is just plain ridiculous.
Shortcut on 12/04/2006:
It burns me that Saturn has blown me off and I did contact lawguru and my own attorney and poor fuel economy does not fall under the lemon law either. My only option is to try to trade it in on something other than a Saturn, but I have only owned it for a year so I have no equity or resale value in it at all. Probably could not even get what is owed on it. I hate Saturn.
Shortcut on 12/05/2006:
My attorney says you cannot file Lemon Law with regard to poor fuel economy. Law Guru says the same thing. Thanks for the advice though, sorry for all your troubles with them as well.
dumpebay.com on 06/17/2007:
I had a 1981 Chevy Citation with a small V6. I got 13 miles per gallon! I will never again buy a GM car with their awful real world gas mileage! In your case sounds like you might have a slipping transmission, incorrect ignition timing, dragging brakes, worn out engine cylinders, bad oxygen sensor or map sensor, clogged catalytic converter, or all of these combined!
crux on 11/19/2007:
That's pretty weird, I have a 2006 Saturn Ion and it gets amazing gas mileage, I couldn't be happier with it. I also get great service at the dealership, but I guess that's something that could definitely change from business to business. I'm sorry you've had such a bad experience with Saturn, I absolutely love them (and the Ion).
The Thrill on 12/27/2007:
Man I'm in the same boat. I'm 19 and I received my stupid Ion 06 for my 2006 grad. present. This is my first car and I am well intelligent enough to know when I have a piece of junk. On the other hand, I'm blessed not to have had in car troubles, but the gas mileage is ridiculous horrible. I agree 100% w/ you, it does fill like your dragging something w/ you while driving, and when trying to get the right speed especially on the interstate.
What now? on 03/12/2008:
I am having the same issue with my 2007 Saturn ION. In fact, my mileage got worse after I told them about it and took it in. I was getting about 23 mpg, now I am getting 19-20mpg.
The EPA estimate on the sticker claimed 26/28 city 34/35 highway... but when we took it on a 2,500 mile highway driving only vacation, we averaged 27.4 mpg.
I noticed the new stickers have a lower EPA estimate now, (good thing I saved mine), still not accurate but lower.
I am going to take it in again this week... I will take it in again if I need to. I will pursue the lemon law if they can't fix it after the third try.
As far as I'm concerned, this is false advertising. Especially in today's market when gas mileage is one of the first things we look at. It is grossly misrepresented!
Is anyone interested in looking into a class action suit? In all seriousness...
The service department said that this is a problem across the board with the ION's. That customers are only getting 18-20 mpg, on average!!!
They told me that Saturn is not responsible for this because the government/EPA tests the cars and provides them with the information... it is government regulated. This is ridiculous!
I used to swear by Saturn. My 1998 Saturn got excellent gas mileage and I traded it in for my ION. I am so sadly disappointed in this car in so many ways. It does not hold up to the Saturn standard of auto making that I am accustomed to!
They must be held accountable.
What now? on 03/12/2008:
I just read all the responses and your further comments. I can't believe this. There has got to be a way... it is at least false advertising.
There just has to be a way to hold them accountable.
I am in the same boat with not being able to sell or trade my care in because I have only had it for a year and don't have enough equity in it... as well as the value of the ION's going way down because of this problem... seems they depreciated over $5k in less than one year!
I have resorted to parking my ION in the driveway and driving our old junker 1994 Kia that gets 30 mpg. It's embarrassing to drive but I don't care! Our 6 cylinder 1999 Ford Explorer got better gas mileage... My brother has it now and said it still gets better gas mileage!
I have to add the note that I love the service department at my Saturn dealer. They are great. And, my last Saturn was a dream, until it got old and started needing repair due to wear and tear. I felt I had moved up in life and deserved a new car with all the bells and whistles. Now I wish I would have spent the $2,000+ that it would have taken to fix my old Saturn... or gone down the street to the Honda dealer as I was contemplating. So much for loyalty.
Oh and yes it does feel very sluggish, as if it is towing something.
What a rhut!!!
Wish me better luck with the dealer...
and I'll keep you posted.
What now... ?
saturndown on 06/01/2008:
Same problem with the Saturn, mpg not as stated, only getting 18-22 not the 23-32 on my paperwork. Anyone find out about a class action for false advertisement. They should still be responsible even if it was from the EPA they put it on the car.
dmtjma on 06/27/2008:
I have an 05 ion with 85000 miles. I periodically calculate and my mileage is always between 31 and 33. About 70% of my miles are highway.
Try another Saturn dealer. I had a bad vibration and one dealer gave me a BS line about how all saturns do that. The second bent over backwards to try to find it (and they did).
Can I also ask a silly question... Have all you guys complaining about poor gas mileage been regularly verifying your tires are properly inflated? Underinflated tires can take a massive bite out of your fuel economy.
clintv on 07/30/2008:
I own a 2006 Saturn Ion. I arrived at home late at night one day last week and could not turn off the ignition or the car. I ended up pulling the ignition fuse to get it to shut off and had it towed to the dealership the next day. They replaced the ignition and a cable in the shifter and charged me $750. I had purchased an extended warranty from them at the recommendation of the sales person and the finance manager. This GE warranty did not cover the repairs and after researching this online I see that this is a common problem with Saturns. I complained to the dealship and to the District Specialist, who offered me a year of free oil changes only if I would drop this complaint. I refused and have contacted the NHTSA and the local BBB and filed complaints against this dealership and Saturn. Ignitions do not wear out especially on 3 year old cars.
Shortcut on 01/28/2009:
Thanks all- but I finally just gave up and sold my Saturn Ion. I will never buy another Saturn that's for sure.
tonijo on 10/26/2009:
Hmm.. I've been having a lot of issues with my ignition also and wondering if I should get it looked at. My key sometimes gets stuck in there and I have to jiggle the steering wheel and usually can get it out pretty quick. Sometimes it does take awhile though. I remember trying one day for about 10 minutes before I got it! I hope it doesn't turn out to be anything more than that.
MAD MECHANIC on 08/21/2013:
I have been servicing vehicles for over 35 years,purchased a Saturn Ion in 2007
because of the polymer panels,
Fuel econmy was not even 50% of what GM stated on window sticker(still have it sealed in plastic. My sons 1992 Accord still got
35% better fuel economy with 160000m on odo. Tail pipe has been black coated from
about 8000 mi mark. I believe GM knows what the issue was with these vehicles but will not comment. It now has devolped the bad hesitation and jerking which other owners have experienced.
Disapointed and will not purchase GM vehicle again.

Employee Mistreated
Posted by
RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA -- To whom it may concern,
I would like to share my frustration with someone that might listen. My brother is getting married this weekend and one of this best friends works for Saturn. He is a Finance Manager in Riverside area. He is the best man in my brothers wedding (Feb 26th, 2006) and was threatened with termination if he went to the wedding. He asked for 2 days off a month before the wedding and was given the days off. He has since bought a tux and hotel room. Not to mention that his best friend was counting on him for the wedding. Now his manager refuses to give him the time off because they are having a big sale that day. I understand business is business but I am at a loss for words. What would you think if this was you? Would you like you're boss treating you like this?? He works 12-17 hour days and sometimes goes weeks without a day off. That just shows his dedication to the company. Now to repay him for his hard work he was given the option. Either go to wedding and lose job or keep job and miss most important day of friends life. Me personally I would have quit even if I didn't have the money. I know this e-mail will not change anything but would like to communicate to corporation office how their locations are treating their employees. I will never buy a Saturn and will make sure I share this story with every person I come in contact with. Also will post a copy of this e-mail on myspace and all Saturn forum chat rooms. I am the brother of groom and felt this e-mail was necessary. I hope you took the time to read this and I appreciate your time.
Kind regards,

Before you go out there bashing an entire corporation, keep in mind that Saturn dealerships are franchised - that is, independently owned and operated. If you have a problem with a particular dearler, name them. But don't bash Saturn as a whole.

My wife and I own 04 Saturn Ion and we've had nothing but trouble out of it. We had the Ingnition Switch replace 2 times, cooling fan, steering column, Electronic power steering, sway bar bushings 2 times and the front end is doing this again.
I will never own another one.

GenuineNerd on 03/31/2010:
GM is still providing parts and service on Saturns for the next few years, although you may have to take it to a Chevrolet, Buick, or Cadillac dealer for warranty work if your Saturn dealer closes. GM and other car makers have typically made parts available for vehicles up to 10 years old; more if it was a popular model.

Paul di Resta says Force India need to become more consistent if they hope to work their way towards the front of the Formula One grid.
The Scot was present at the Silverstone circuit on Friday for the launch of the team's 2013 challenger, the VJM06.
In a solo performance given that the team has yet to name his new team-mate, di Resta took the covers off the car before venturing out for a single shakedown lap on the damp track.
"I'm feeling very good, I must say," the 26-year-old told the official F1 website.
"I'm working very closely with my team of people, and that's changed slightly in different departments.
"We're all trying to do the best job possible. Whether it's managing time and making sure you're in the best frame of mind or whether that's on-track performance and the finer details of the car set-up, ultimately it's all about performance and results.
"I know the way this team works and they know how I work. When it all gels well we can obviously see the results we get. We just need to make sure we can achieve that on a more consistent basis."
Entering his third season as a Force India race driver, di Resta says his team needs to have a better start to the season than they've shown in past campaigns.
"That has to happen and there's no reason why we shouldn't," he said.
"I think the pressure is on all the departments to make sure we start better, last year we underperformed, certainly until the European season kicked in.
"We did get some good results before that - in the rain in Malaysia and in Bahrain, where we just got everything together and managed to achieve something remarkable that early in the season.
"We need to launch a car, understand it, and bring a race package to it - whether that's at the Barcelona test or in Melbourne - that needs to make the car quicker than when it rolled out on the first day."

A Conservative Explains Why Right-Wingers Have No Compassion
Although Mitt Romney used the word "conservative" 19 times in a short speech at the February 10, 2012, Conservative Political Action Conference, the audience he used this word to appeal to was not conservative by any traditional definition. It was right wing. Despite the common American practice of using "conservative" and "right wing" interchangeably, right wing is not a synonym for conservative and not even a true variant of conservatism - although the right wing will opportunistically borrow conservative themes as required.
Right-wingers have occasioned much recent comment. Their behavior in the Republican debates has caused even jaded observers to react like an Oxford don stumbling upon a tribe of headhunting cannibals. In those debates where the moderators did not enforce decorum, these right-wingers, the Republican base, behaved with a single lack of dignity. For a group that displays its supposed pro-life credentials like a neon sign, the biggest applause lines resulted from their hearing about executions or the prospect of someone dying without health insurance.
Who are these people and what motivates them? To answer, one must leave the field of conventional political theory and enter the realm of psychopathology. Three books may serve as field guides to the farther shores of American politics and the netherworld of the true believer.
Most estimates calculate the percentage of Republican voters who are religious fundamentalists at around 40 percent; in some key political contests, such as the Iowa caucuses, the percentage is closer to 60. Because of their social cohesion, ease of political mobilization and high election turnout, fundamentalists have political weight even beyond their raw numbers. An understanding of their leaders, infrastructure and political goals is warranted. Max Blumenthal has done the work in his book "Republican Gomorrah: Inside the Movement that Shattered the Party." Blumenthal investigates politicized fundamentalism and provides capsule bios of such movement luminaries as James Dobson, Tony Perkins, John Hagee and Ted Haggard. The reader will conclude that these authority figures and the flocks they command are driven by a binary, Manichean vision of life and a hunger for conflict. Their minds appear to have no more give and take than that of a terrier staring down a rat hole.
Blumenthal examines the childhoods of these religious-right celebrities and reveals a significant quotient of physical and mental abuse suffered at the hands of parents. His analysis of the obvious sadomasochistic element in Mel Gibson's films - so lionized by the right wing - is enough to give one the creeps. But the book is by no means a uniformly depressing slog: the chapter titled "Satan in a Porsche," about fundamentalist attempts to ban pornography, approaches slapstick.
According to the author, the inner life of fundamentalist true believers is the farthest thing from that of a stuffily proper Goody Two Shoes. They seem tormented by demons that those in the reality-based community scarcely experience. That may explain their extraordinary latitude in absolving their political and ecclesiastical heroes of their sins: while most of us might regard George W. Bush as a dry drunk resentful of his father, Newt Gingrich as a sociopathic serial adulterer and Ted Haggard as a pathetic specimen in terminal denial, their followers on the right apparently believe that the greater the sin, the more impressive the salvation - so long as the magic words are uttered and the penitent sinner is washed in the Blood of the Lamb. This explains why people like Gingrich can attend "values voter" forums and both he and the audience manage to keep straight faces. Far from being a purpose-driven life, the existence of many true believers is a crisis-driven life that seeks release, as Blumenthal asserts, in an "escape from freedom."

Lacura At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive (but at the price of good skin care); one good facial scrub; one good eye cream, though it is easily replaced with a well-formulated facial moisturizer; very good moisturizing mask for dry skin; excellent lipstick and lip gloss.
Weaknesses: Jar packaging for moisturizers, so the ingredients don't remain stable; limited distribution; most of the skin-care products are intensely fragranced; no sunscreens; no products to address acne or skin discolorations; no testers and the makeup is packaged so you cannot see the color without making a purchase; average powder blush; the waterproof mascara isn't waterproof and has a cloying fragrance.
Lacura is a Germany-based cosmetics line that is exclusive to Aldi, a chain of grocery stores found mostly in Midwest and East Coast states. Despite the limited distribution, the Cosmetics Cop Team has repeatedly been asked to review Lacura.
Lacura products made a big splash in Europe because of their low, and we mean really low, prices. Their arrival in the United States has garnered the same hopeful enthusiasm among budget-conscious shoppers.
So, is the hype deserved? Yes and no. Yes, because their best products, most of which are makeup, have prices that are tough to ignore; on the other hand, a resounding "No", because a lot of the skin-care products have problems that are hard to ignore. When products are badly formulated, any savings in terms of price are just not worth it; they're just a waste of your money.
Lacura did a great job with their lipstick and lip gloss as well as their pressed powder and eyeshadow. The color selection isn't extensive, but, for the most part, the shades are attractive and contemporary. It's unfortunate that the Lacura displays in Aldi stores don't have testers, because the makeup is packaged in such a way that it's impossible to see the color without prying the box open (and the color swatch on the box is a poor facsimile of what's inside).
There really isn't anything about the skin-care products that's worthy of your attention. The only options worth considering are the Regenerating Eye Cream, the Ultra Firming Mask, and the inexpensive three-packs of various lip balms, but even then you'll be dumbing down your skin-care routine.
The rest of the products are so far below average it's hard to see bottom. Almost every skin-care item has a strong, wafting fragrance; it's too bad that fragrance isn't skin care. All of the facial moisturizers are packaged in jars, so even though they do contain some decent ingredients, they break down in the presence of air.
Truly disappointing is Lacura's lack of options for acne, skin discolorations, and sun damage—there are no products to address these common concerns. Plus, most of the products are geared toward women with dry skin and little else.
One more point: If you're looking for a reliable daytime moisturizer with sunscreen (and you should be), Lacura absolutely isn't the line to shop. Although their facial moisturizers contain sunscreen ingredients, they are not listed as active (which is permissible in Europe because sunscreens are not regulated as over-the-counter drugs like they are in the States) and the products do not list SPF ratings, which is NOT permissible anywhere in the world if you are making a sun protection claim, as Lacura is. This means you haven't a clue about how much sun protection you'll get, and sun protection isn't something you want to remain clueless about!

Whose Bank? Public Investment, Not Private Debt
Page 2
Stivers sees the bank as a way to facilitate small business start-ups, end the ability of private banks to cream profits from the public treasury, protect key budget items, and stave off excessive influence from the federal government. He suggests the novel approach of expanding the role of Idaho's Bond Bank authority into a full-fledged state bank. The current banking system, he says, causes inflation, one of the "greatest detriments to a living wage":
Inflation is caused by the secret tax of the banking industry in which lenders use the multiplier effect to the benefit of their cronies. This secret tax takes the form of a decline in the value of the dollar and results in higher prices. Wages never keep up with this process because its very purpose is to extract wealth from the wage earner to support the privileged classes who curry the favor of lenders. A state bank would restore this privilege to the people in a public trust and would give us the opportunity to back our deposits with the wealth from our public lands.
Illinois: Using a State-owned Bank to Fund Infrastructure
-Rich Whitney, Illinois
gubernatorial candidate
In Illinois, Green Party gubernatorial candidate Rich Whitney has other ideas for a state-owned bank. Illinois is listed by the Pew Center for the States as one of nine states confronting historic budget problems. In a recent response to the governor's State of the State Address, Whitney said:
I am the only candidate in this race who proposes to fund public improvements, and promote economic health, without any further tax increases, through the establishment of a state bank, a progressive idea that North Dakota adopted years ago, and that has helped keep that state debt-free even in these troubled economic times. Instead of going into more and more debt, to further enrich private banks, we should be using our tax revenue to further invest in our own state and its people, for the enrichment of our own economy.
The bank would use tax revenues and pension contributions as the financial base to expand credit where it is most needed. Illinois' bank would borrow from the Federal Reserve at the same one percent rate as commercial banks. Once the budget was balanced, Whitney's top priorities would be to use the new money to modernize energy infrastructure and promote solar and wind power. To achieve this, property owners of land where wind and solar generators could be located would be lent money through the state bank at a minimal one percent interest rate. To secure repayment, Whitney would require utilities to buy power from the solar and wind-based producers at a premium rate. One option would then be to require part of this premium to be paid to the state bank until the loan is returned. This arrangement, says Whitney, would create a win-win situation:
The bank is paid back. The homeowner, farmer or business investing in solar or wind generation realizes immediate savings on energy costs and in many cases will go from being a net consumer to a net producer of energy. Their greater income will further stimulate the economy. The utilities will have to pay the cost of the premium rate but in the long run will realize the benefits of having a greater, stable, more diversified and decentralized energy grid, ultimately cheaper in the face of rising fossil fuel prices. As economies of scale are realized in wind and solar power generation, the costs will fall, as will the necessary premium rate. And we all benefit from the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Florida: The Commercial Bank Model
Economist and author Farid Khavari, a Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Florida, proposes a state-owned bank that would lend directly to borrowers. The Bank of North Dakota usually uses a "lead lender" such as a bank, savings and loan company, or credit union rather than doing commercial lending directly. Dr. Khavari maintains that the Bank of the State of Florida could be launched at no cost to taxpayers by using the state's assets as the reserves for making loans, employing the same fractional reserve lending rules used by private banks today. In this way, he says, the bank could drive an "economic miracle" in Florida, instigating massive job creation, cutting costs in half or more, providing low interest financing to homeowners and businesses, and improving teacher salaries and care for veterans and the elderly, while at the same reducing taxes. He explains:
The economy is collapsing due to lack of demand. The economy needs money, but the banks are cutting credit, and then sucking all the cash out of the economy by raising interest rates to make sure no one has any cash left at the end of the month. The cost of interest is built into the cost of everything. People already work ten years of their lives just to pay interest in one form or another. The Bank of the State of Florida will end that for Floridians. And this model will work for every state. . . .
We can pay 6 percent interest on savings. Using the same fractional reserve rules as all banks, we can create $900 of new money through loans for every $100 in deposits. We can loan that $900 in the form of two percent fixed rate 15-year mortgages, for example, and the state can earn $12 every year for every $100 in deposits. That means Floridians can save tens of billions of dollars per year while the state earns billions making it possible for them.
State and local government budgets will balance without higher taxes when the BSF cuts interest costs. Six percent BSF credit cards will save people billions per month, money that stays in Florida instead of going to the big banks—and the state will make huge profits on that, too. Saving billions in interest costs will create millions of jobs without subsidies just by keeping those billions circulating in Florida. Eventually the state will earn enough to reduce and eliminate state and local taxes while every Floridian has economic security in a recession-proof Florida.
The Federal Reserve states on its website that the banking system as a whole leverages $100 in deposits into $900 in loans, but whether a single bank can do it alone has been challenged. Critics say that while banks do create money as loans, they have to replace the deposits when the checks leave the bank in order for the checks to clear. How this all works is a bit complicated and will be the subject of another article, but suffice it to say here in response that if a bank does not have the deposits to cover its outgoing checks, it borrows from the interbank lending market at very low rates, or issues commercial paper or CDs; and the state bank could do the same thing. It would not be fighting with the other banks for old deposits. Loans create new deposits, which can be borrowed back from the pool of "excess deposits" thereby created. Ninety-seven percent of the money supply has been created by commercial banks by turning loans into deposits, but that credit machine has frozen up. A state bank could get it flowing again.
Small Banks,
Radical Vision
Local banks can change the world, one investment at a time.
California: Catching the Wave
California leads the nation in the sheer size of its budget gap. It, too, now has a gubernatorial candidate proposing to alleviate the state's credit woes with a state-owned bank. Running on the Green Party ticket, Laura Wells is a former financial analyst who received 420,000 votes in her 2002 bid for State Controller, more than any other Green Party candidate has earned in a partisan statewide race. Her website says that, "rather than drowning in debt and begging Wall Street for loans, California can institute a State Bank that invests in California's infrastructure, and future generations."
She stated in a comment, "A state bank for California is part of my platform as a candidate for the Green Party nomination for Governor. I ran for State Controller to 'Follow the Money.' Now, we need to Fix the Money. A state bank would keep California's wealth in the state. Rather than invest in Wall Street (we've hit the wall on that one) we can invest in our infrastructure and our future generations."
Legislative Proposals
It is not just political hopefuls who are exploring the public bank option. Therese Murray currently presides over the Massachusetts State Senate. She has introduced legislation that would study the formation of a state-owned bank with the principal aim of boosting job creation in the state. Massachusetts now faces a 9.4 percent unemployment rate. "It wouldn't be in competition with our small community banks," she says. "We've got to free up some credit, and mortgage companies and banks have got to do a better job of allowing people to redo their mortgages."
In Virginia, Congressman Bob Marshall, a Republican, introduced a bill in January to study whether to establish a bank that was owned, run, and controlled by the state. However, the plan was tabled in committee.
On February 16, the front page of the Huffington Post featured an article on the Bank of North Dakota and the precedent it sets for financially-strapped states. Along with political candidates, the article noted that a Washington State legislator and a Vermont House committee were exploring it.
North Dakota hit the Wall Street wall in 1919, when the Bank of North Dakota was established by the state legislature specifically to free farmers and small businessmen from the clutches of out-of-state bankers. For over 90 years, it has demonstrated the success of the public banking model. Other credit-choked states are finally taking notice and devising their own variations on the theme.
