The people cry out; all who live there scream. | 2 This is what the LORD says: "See how the waters are rising in the north; they will become an overflowing torrent. They will overflow the land and everything in it, the towns and those who live in them. The people will cry out; all who dwell in the land will wail |

More reviews by summerrain1994
I got a full size bottle of this AND a sample size with my Mia.
I use this at night after I remove the majority of my makeup with cleansing cloths. I have to say, it's nothing special, but I don't want to waste so much cleanser. It soothes the skin, doesn't break me out, and is just an overall nice cleanser. I rated it a 1 for price because it came free with my Mia.
I WILL use it until I'm done, however, I would not repurchase.
I absolutely HATE this cleanser! Since I spent so much money on the Clarisonic Mia and the cleanser came with it, it was a Must that I get my moneys worth and use it. Bad idea.
This cleanser broke my forehead out big time. Whenever my skin doesn't like something it shows me via my forehead. Anyways this cleanser is a piece of garbage and I will never use it again! I wish I could rate it a zero!

Be careful, this cleanser contains a sh-it load of various oils in it as well as cones. My skin can't tolerate oils from previous skincare adventures so I can't use this. I understand this has "soothing" ingredients like green tea, cumumber and aloe. However, I don't see this geared for sensitive skin that is also acne prone, clogged pore prone and oily. I can see this working for sensitive skin that is dry and not prone to breakouts or clogged pores. I received a hefty 6oz tube of this cleanser with my clarisonic as well as some sample sizes. I think they will be all going up for swap.

I got this as a free sample with my Mia and I will not be purchasing, in fact, after just one use, I have thrown the sample away.
My skin was itchy, red and bumpy after I used this. Something in it doesn't like my skin.

This review is for the Clarisonic Gentle Hydro Cleanser that came as a bonus with my Clarisonic Plus Kit. This was a happy surprise, especially since I have not used a cream cleanser in years. Why? I'm acne sensitive and prefer a water-activated or foaming cleanser with an anti-bacterial ingredient. This cleanser has a "ph balanced non-foaming formula enriched with antioxidants, green tea and vitamin E" That sounds nice, but I always wonder about the skin's ability to actually absorb these ingredients, lol.
All I know is that this feels clean and cool on the skin. It easily takes off all my makeup with the exception of waterproof mascara. It really does smooth out the skin and along with the clarisonic, does clean out the pores around and on my nose and under my lower lip. It leaves my skin soft and smooth enough at night to go to bed without a night cream or moisturizer. None of the ingredients have broken me out or caused irritation and I'm super sensitive. Lots of botanicals on the ingredients list, but lots of silicones, too. I would not buy again at $25.00 for 6 oz., but do intend to use it up.
I received a sample of this product when I purchased my Clarisonic. It came in a set. I have sensitive acne-prone skin and this was supposed to be able to be used for all skin types. It was gentle enough for even the sensitive skin types. I used it for about a week and I broke out really bad. I stopped using it right away and I cleared up almost instantly. It might be useful for someone with dry skin since it's so creambut not ALL skin types like oily and acne-prone.

So, I just started using this product and one thing that I have to say is LOVE. I haven't noticed a HUGE decrease in my acne (I have quite a lot) but i can tell that my skin has improved. I am the type of person who despises washing their face, but with the clarisonic I find that its not as big of an issue. All together, you are spending a max of 5 minutes washing everything off. My skin feels baby smooth. I have pretty sensitive skin and the normal brush is just fine for me. I love this product. 5 lippies :)
I got this with my Clarisonic and was not going to try it because I have very sensitive skin, but when I ran out of my Olay cleanser, I decided to try it. What a pleasant surprise! This, unlike anything else I've tried(except my beloved HG, discontinued Purpose Gentle Foaming Cleanser), takes off my mascara without rubbing and tugging, and doesn't irritate or dry out my skin. I have no idea how much it costs but I plan to repurchase.
I got a sample of this that came with the Mia. At first I didn't want to use it, afraid that it might break me out. So I checked the ingredients and notice it contains Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, and Green Tea. The product is good. A nice gentle cleanser, reminds me of Cetaphil, which is my HG cleanser at the moment, this cleanser doesn't dry out my skin, nor make it oily. And I'm already using Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, and Green Tea in my regimen, so..there's really no need for this product for me. I'll definitely use up all the samples but won't be [re]purchasing it.

Really gentle and effective cleanser I like to use it for washing my face in the morning. I like the feeling afterward my skin is clean and doesn't feel tight or dry. Definitely recommend this cleanser over cetpahil

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Santa's Little Helper!
Facts about Santa's Little Helper
- Breed: Jack Russell Terrier/Whippet Mix
- Color: White - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Santa's Little Helper's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Santa's Little Helper is a sweet, fun and loving pup! She lovessssss other dogs and people. She has a great personality and is a total lover!! Santa's little helper is 1 years old, she's been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and treated for fleas. Sali's adoption fee is $120. Please help us find Sali and awesome, loving home!
Other Pets at Wholesome K9 Rescue and Adoption, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Santa's Little Helper, a Inglewood Jack Russell Terrier/Whippet puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Jack Russell Terrier/Whippet for sale in Inglewood, or seeking a Jack Russell Terrier/Whippet puppy from a breeder in Inglewood.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Inglewood already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Inglewood breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Jack Russell Terrier/Whippet breeders who help with Jack Russell Terrier/Whippet rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Inglewood paves the way for another one to be saved.

The transition process commences well before the student formally commences at Dromana College. Our Open Night is conducted during Semester 1 and it gives interested parents and students an opportunity to visit the college in the evening, hear about the educational programs available, view students' work and experience the College environment. The Year 7 Camp Program held later in Term 1 further enhances the transition to secondary school.
There are many differences between primary school and secondary college:
An Information Evening is held at the college in early December which gives the Grade 6 students an opportunity to meet their Form Teacher and to inform parents of the educational process at Dromana College. Grade 6 students then attend an Orientation Day in December where they are involved in timetabled classes to give them a taste of life at Dromana College.
These differences can make you feel apprehensive and even scared, but as we are aware of the new challenges that will confront you, we are organised to make the transition from primary to secondary school as smooth as possible. The events that will help you in this process are Orientation Day, Information Evening and participating in the Year 7 Camp. It is important that you attend all of these events.
Students are placed into a form group with students from your primary school and other primary schools. There will be approximately 25 students in your class. The form group names are based on the language of the Bunurong People, who were the indigenous people from South West Victoria, their traditional lands include the Mornington Peninsula.
Bundjil | Wedge-tailed Eagle |
Dantun | Blue Mountain Parrot |
Lowan | Bass Strait Fish |
Nurong | Bread - bread was made from a number of seeds, the most popular being 'Prickly Mimosa' |
Palina | Totem of a Tasmanian Aboriginal community |
Tadjeri | Totem for Bunurong men |
Tuan | Tree Rat |
Thara | Black shouldered kite - Bundjil's helper who helped get fire for the people |
Turnang | Flying mouse - Bundjil's helper - a wizard |
Winjeel | Sea eagle |
Yoolawil | Echidna |
Each student is part of a form group which is the responsibility of one form teacher. Your group will meet each morning with your form teacher where organisational issues and minor concerns can be discussed. Your form teacher is there to help you deal with any problems you may meet at school. The Head of Year is the person in charge of a group of approximately 180 - 200 students in each year level. Form Teachers and Head of Year Coordinators are responsible for monitoring the educational progress of their students and fostering relationships between parents, teachers and students.

As we noted earlier, this year's Autodesk University had an exciting new emphasis on making things just for the sake of making them, as evidenced in their choice of presenters—we've got an interview coming up with speaker Saul Griffith of Otherlab—as well as in their new products. As the DIY and Maker movements continue to take firm root, Autodesk has noticed and is addressing the market.
This is perfectly encapsulated in their freaking awesome 123D Sculpt app for iPad (which you should download right now, as it's free for a limited time). Rather than being a mere time-killer app where you fling birds or solve puzzles, this one actually lets you create things. It provides you with a series of stock forms in various genres--humans, geometric shapes, sneakers, clothing, et cetera—that you can then sculpt and paint into whatever you envision.
You may have seen the original video demo of the product (shown at the bottom of this entry). We went a step further and got the guy who did that video, industrial designer Kyle Runciman—remember his Alias and SketchBook demos from last year?—to walk us through the program and explain the steps, below. (Automotive designers in particular will want to check out the footage starting at 5:50.)

I study and think about early medieval Iberian visual and textual cultures, medieval Iberian Romance and Latin literatures, language technologies and thought. From an initial focus on the Central Middle Ages in Spain and France (explored in my book Contrary Things: Exegesis, Dialectic, and the Poetics of Didacticism (Stanford U. P., 1998 and articles on the Libro de Buen Amor, the Arçipreste de Talavera, Marie de France, and Abelard and Heloise), my interest has shifted to the earlier Middle Ages and to transhistorical theoretical questions of the inter-relationships of language technologies and thought.
My current book project, Remember the Hand: Bodies and Bookmaking in Early Medieval Spain studies the self-representation of scribal activity in illuminated manuscripts produced in the so-called "Mozarabic" communities of the Iberian peninsula in the 10th and 11th centuries.
The manuscripts themselves are stunningly beautiful, alive with intense color and vividly abstracted human, animal, and floral forms. Equally exciting is the explicit protagonism they grant to the people who made them, scribes and painters who often feature prominently—not only in remarkably detailed colophons, but also in numerous textual interventions, subscriptions, and visual representations.
From these scribal interventions and self-representations emerges an embodied theory and practice of reading and writing that has much to offer contemporary debates about the relation between technology and intellectual life. Portions of this project have recently appeared in "Remember the Hand: Bodies and Bookmaking in Early Medieval Spain" (Word and Image 27.3 [2011]: 262-278 and "Love Letters from Beatus of Liébana to Modern Philologists" (Modern Philology 106.4 [2009]: 579-600). I explored some of the theoretical implications of manuscript study in a digital world in "Manuscript Thinking" postmedieval 2.3 (2011): 350–368.

This heavy-duty, 4-in-1 tool adds to long list of tools in the FatMax line that have impressed us (click here for video). A single piece of steel that's essentially a crowbar on steroids, this is a reasonably priced gift if pops is all about prying, splitting, bending and slamming. The 4-pound FuBar's durability-not to mention its textured grip, beveled nail slot, and two-tiered jaws-puts it at the top of our wish list this year.

BNOTIONS Expands Senior Team with Paul Crowe
By BNOTIONS Team on March 1, 2011
(Press Release)
TORONTO, CANADA — BNOTIONS, a Toronto-based technology agency, has continued its expansion by bringing on Paul Crowe as a partner and vice president of strategy and operations, leaving his role as director of digital strategy at Extreme Group.
BNOTIONS has 30 employees in two offices, located in Toronto, ON, and Kelowona, BC, and has created a new niche in the marketplace as "creative and strategic technologists."
Alkarim Nasser, founder and president of BNOTIONS, says "We are excited to have Paul on the team. His experience and leadership will have an immediate impact on our business, from working with start-up clients on strategy to leveraging his relationships and experience so that we continue to be ad agencies' partner of choice for development, strategy, and technology consultation."
"Leaving the agency side of the business wasn't easy, says Paul, "but the opportunity to work with some incredible start-ups and really impact a company's business model is incredible.
"Few companies are growing at the speed of BNOTIONS, and I believe the culture is a big reason for this. The energy and enthusiasm here is incredible. Just ask any of our partners or employees. I mean, where else do you get a round of applause by just walking in the door?"
Paul says he was also intrigued by the company's focus on internal product development, such as Urb-Ops, a real-time, location-based strategy game that "layers" on top of foursquare (http://www.urb-ops.com). "We're slated to produce at least 10 products in 2011, from applications, to games and beyond," says Alkarim. "We'll also be organizing the second AndroidTO developers conference later this year and continue to help grow LeanCoffeeTO, a weekly meet-up group we established in 2010."
BNOTIONS is also preparing to launch harthFEST, a full day conference, with more details to be announced in early April 2011.
BNOTIONS breathes digital. We are a socially conscious, Toronto-based technology development and internet strategy firm. Our goal is to deliver rich, dynamic applications while using the latest, most flexible technologies. Our approach has led the shift in mobile and web strategies to incorporate more dynamic uses of the online space in communication, marketing, and sales. Our development methodologies use an organic and iterative approach to deliver projects on-time and on-budget. Our respect for our clients informs our approach to usability as we build products that matter.

GEORGIA ME brought her spoken word brilliance to the Verses & Flow stage for the show's season finale. We sat down with the southern belle to find out more about what she's been up to since her run on Broadway, what it means to be a ghetto belle, and why Atlanta is her most favorite place on Earth.
LA: What we love is that you represent Atlanta every chance there is to do so. What are some things about that city that you love, that others need to know about?
GM: The wealth of knowledge my city possesses, especially the African American journey in America! We cruise in the A, with one of the best things to do being sightseeing. Not of big buildings and such, but of black accomplishments. Our streets are named for prominent Nubians. Our schools are honoring legacy and there are more than two or three affluent neighborhoods of black people getting it. I love taking my friends to restaurants like K&K on Bankhead or Chanterelles for a fantastic meal. I love learning, so I visit the APEX Museum, and I love the Shrine of the Black Madonna in the West End. True ATLiens love the park and Atlanta has so many green spaces with activities and shows that, even without a penny in your pocket, you can have a great time. Most of the clubs are just runways for people needing to be seen but I am a "hood aficionado" so I love the Central Station, Bigelow's, Crucial, Deja Vu and Club Bankhead . I like down to earth folks with little pretension. As an artist, I am grateful to know the soul of the city with all the lounges, clubs and bars where you can enjoy the enormous talent presented. Apache Cafe is a staple for artistry of every kind. Now, I know everyone's heard of Lenox Mall, but to get great shopping go to Little Five Points. Eclectic, funky fashions for eclectic, funky people. You can get anything in Little Five but I do most of my shopping in the West End Mall.
You created the TAMIKA Festival. Tell us what it's all about, and who's able to attend.
Well, the wonderful cities of Atlanta, College Park, East Point and the mighty Fulton County awarded me with my own day!! Yeah, I said it it MY OWN DAY!!! May 4th is officially Tamika Georgiame Harper Day! So after the joy of being honored it was only natural for me to use this to serve my people, my community, my city. TAMIKA Fest was created to showcase every aspect of the diaspora, focusing on health, education, government and most definitely ART!!! I am so blessed to live a life, not based on money but the wealth of my relationships. Artists--both famous and below the radar--came from all over the country to sing, rap, dance and, of course, perform amazing Spoken word!! We have everything at the Tamika Festival for all ages and all open minds. I am beyond happy to bring this event to my city. It will be one of the biggest in the world. It is already the best!!!
As part of the original cast that starred in Def Poetry Jam on Broadway, what was one thing you took away from that experience that helped you as you went forward with your career?
First, thank you God for allowing my dream to become reality. I learned greater things that I shall do. Watching Stan Lathan and Russell Simmons put together this project taught me how a show should go and that you don't sacrifice vision. I have always been one to strive for perfection, nothing short of excellence, so DPJ on Broadway has been my litmus test as to what I will participate in, and the level of respect my art form has to demand.
"Ghetto Belle" reads like it could be a song. Was that the original intent for the piece? What inspired it?
Like all of my poetry, "Ghetto Belle" was inspired by my life. My ex-boyfriend was raised affluent and he said you might be a little too ghetto for me. It's OK, he has gone on to do absolutely nothing with his life, while Most High God has allowed me to travel overseas, win awards, meet icons and fulfill my dreams. "Ghetto Belle" is the manifestation of years of people trying to define me or limit me. It is a piece about freedom and loving who you are. It is a song and poem and will be the first official single from my upcoming album.
As you know, LEXUS is all about luxury and performance. What is one luxury that you cannot live without that people wouldn't know about unless you told them?
Thai food!! I know, I know. It's not cheap or readily available in my neck of the woods. Also, dead sea salts--I got hooked on them but can't always get it. Not that it's really expensive, but my skin feels like a million bucks.
------------------------------------ Stay tuned right here at luxuryawaits.com for more interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and web-exclusive videos from the talented poets of "Verses & Flow" in the coming weeks.

Fight Mental Fatigue Naturally
Mental fatigue is extremely hard on a person. It is even more difficult to deal with than physical fatigue. When a person has mental fatigue, they can't think clearly and they can't express how
they feel. It can even cause a person to feel physically fatigued and even cause illness.
If you suffer from this type of exhaustion, it could be caused by the work that you do, your family life, or a lack of good quality sleep. If you have mental stress and you need to make an important decision, it could also lead to severe depression.
How do you fight mental fatigue?
Relax your mind and you will boost your energy
If you have mental fatigue, you are probably wondering how in the world are you supposed to relax. Here are 5 tips on fighting mental fatigue naturally and helping you to establish a routine for relaxation:
* Make time for yourself. A good way to do this is to sit in a quiet dark room and get in touch with your spiritual side. You could pray or meditate or even write your comments in a journal. Some people find it relaxing to just sit in a dark room with their eyes closed.
* Get good quality sleep. You can still feel mentally exhausted even though you get enough sleep. However, if you do get your 8 hours of sleep every night, that will help refresh your mind and your body and will also help you deal with your day-to-day stress. When you sleep, your body repairs itself.
* Try to forget the problems that you are facing on a day-to-day basis. Read a book, visit with your friends or family or get away for the weekend. Sometimes when you change your surroundings, you can forget the everyday stresses.
* Exercise on a regular basis. When you exercise, your brain releases endorphins. These endorphins are what make you feel happy. You don't need to work out or run a marathon. Just a simple 15 minute walk is all you need.
* Breathing exercises work very well also. Just take in deep breaths through your nose, hold for 10 seconds and then release through your mouth. This will help to relieve any tension that you may be feeling.
* Make time to do things on your own. Sometimes when we do things with other people, we have a tendency to not relax. If you like going to a museum and your spouse or friend does not like to do that, then do that yourself. You don't be relaxed if you take someone to do something and it is not their favorite thing to do.

In "Love Surrounds Us," a Tapestry of Faith program
Show participants what other kids are doing and encourage them to create their own Kid's Care Club. This can be a single event or become a group that meets more often.
Gather participants and say in your own words:
Who can remember what the four basic needs for people throughout the world? (food, shelter, clothing, love)
Let's write those four words on construction paper and place them around our room.
Write the words on the individual sheets of construction paper or ask volunteers who can write to do it. Have other volunteers place each sign in a different part of the room.
We're going to hear about some kids who really care. They care so much that they put together Kid's Care Clubs all over the United States and the world. These clubs find ways to help others. Let's hear some of their stories.
Show pictures and read the stories in the website section, Club Highlights. You might say:
Wow! Aren't there millions of ways to help others? Let's see how we want to help others. Remember the four basic needs; food, shelter, clothing, and love. We put signs around our room with those four words.
Re-gather the children. Invite them to sit, close their eyes for a moment if they are comfortable doing so, and choose which of these four basics they would like to work on in a Kid's Care Club. Pause a moment, then say:
Okay, now, open your eyes and walk to the sign of the basic need where you would like to help.
Have them walk to the sign with the "need" they prefer to help with. Then say:
Let's look at this together by answering these questions:
How many people are standing by the food sign?
How many people are standing by the clothing sign?
How many people are standing by the shelter sign?
And how many people are standing by the love sign?
Which sign has the most people standing by it?
This is the need we will work on in our Kid's Care Club.
Lead the group to plan a project:
Do we want to design a project to do? Let's use the newsprint and marker to make some decision about what our Kid's Club will do.
Post blank newsprint. Take notes as you lead the group to process using these questions:
At this point, a decision has to be made as to whether the group will complete a project now or plan another event after choosing a project. The compromise and choosing is important to emphasize fair, peace-filled deliberation.
All ages and abilities can do the processing and process-choosing. Fit the scope of the project to the abilities of the participants.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sander!
Facts about Sander
- Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
- ID#: 111312-pu2
Sander's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Sander had been running the streets for over a month. He was very skinny and scared. He loves just about anything. He is great on a leash and great with children. He likes to go for rides in the car and likes to carry the ball around. He would make a great addition to any home.
Other Pets at City of White Settlement
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sander, a white settlment American Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in white settlment, or seeking a American Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in white settlment.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in white settlment already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a white settlment breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in white settlment paves the way for another one to be saved.

Low-Carb Diets Beat Low-Fat for Heart HealthWhen it comes to weight loss, one size doesn't necessarily fit all
The debate continues: Which is better for lasting weight loss--low-carb or low-fat diets? A study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that both diets can help you lose weight and keep it off (when accompanied by a support program), but low-carb diets may actually be better for your heart.
What to give up?The weight-loss industry is a booming one, with millions of overweight people worldwide hoping to shed some extra pounds. But what's the most effective strategy? Low-carb diets--such as the Zone, Atkins, and South Beach diets--may be more appealing and easier for some people to stick with than those that strictly limit fat intake. But critics of the low-carb craze worry that too much protein could lead to bone loss, and excess fat intake could raise cholesterol levels. On the flip side, some fats, like those found in nuts and salmon, protect heart health, so limiting these foods could also have drawbacks. The new study compared weight loss, blood fats, bone mineral density, and blood pressure in 307 overweight adults who followed either a low-carb or a low-fat diet for two years:
Low carbs help heart healthBy the end of the study, both groups had lost 7% of their body weight. People in the low-carb group tended to have lower diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number in a blood pressure reading), and bone mineral density decreased by 1.5% or less at the hip and spine in both groups, "suggesting that the hypothetical concerns that weight loss induced by a low-carbohydrate diet causes greater bone loss than that induced by a low-fat diet are unfounded," the study's authors commented. Triglycerides and LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels dropped in both groups to the same degree (which was not much), but HDL ("good") cholesterol levels were significantly higher in the low-carb group. "When it comes to weight loss, one size doesn't necessarily fit all," says Clara Barnett, an NYC-based physician specializing in weight loss. "Some people respond remarkably well to low-fat diets, while others find them too limiting. It's reassuring to know that both of these diets seem to work equally well, so people can choose what works best for them and their lifestyle. If a person chooses to follow a low-fat diet, though, it might become important to do other things to help bring HDL levels up," she added.

JamieSeptember 2000 |
September 2000
If we are lucky, I suppose, we get to ride this planet around the sun seventy or eighty times before we have to get off. I wonder how many times she has traveled that same familiar path. I wonder how many more times she will. This column covers one revolution.
August 1999
I ended my last article with my decision to leave my church. Initially, I felt a sense of relief. I wasn't coughing up the poison yet, but at least I wasn't drinking it anymore. Perhaps use of the word poison is too harsh. But really, that's the way it felt. They taught me some things about God, but what they constantly told me and everyone else was that gay and Christian are polar opposites. Because of that, I try not to use the label 'Christian' as much. The religious right have stolen it and redefined it so that most people think of them when they think of Christians. This situation very closely parallels how the Pharisees thought of themselves as the "real" Jews during Jesus' day. From what I gather from the gospels, it seems that most people would have reluctantly agreed. So what are we to make of the fact that Jesus was so frustrated with the Pharisees that he once said, "I tell you the truth, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you."
Anyway, a sense of relief is what I initially felt by leaving. It would be cool to spend the next few months going around to different churches in the city and seeing how they did things. That's what I did too. I avoided all contact with my friends from my old church. It sucked to walk away from them like that, but you've got to do what you've got to do. It sucked even more so that I wouldn't see Leo ever because he quit work (we both worked at an engineering firm) in order to take a job working with the youth at that church. As it turned out, during this revolution around the sun, I saw Leo but one time.
What surprised me was that, with the exception of Matt, no one from the group that I had hung out with for the last three years really contacted me or even asked why I had left. That hurt, and it made me wonder whether it had all just been a "Christian" clique. In their defense, I'm sure everyone had their own set of problems that occupied their time.
I still had my youth group that I led on Sunday afternoons, so that was something. I put a lot of effort into keeping that going. I scheduled a lock-in and rented a projector and a Sega Dreamcast when they first came out. The church had a huge white wall and we projected a screen that was over 10 feet tall. That made for some really fun video gaming! I took them to Snow Shoe for skiing and that was the best trip ever. There is definitely something cool about driving a 15-passenger van full of teenagers who think you are a pretty good youth minister! Sometimes, though, I had to balance being their youth minister and being their friend. Still, this was one part of my life that was going pretty good.
Perhaps a glimpse of how we really are doing, however, occurs when we turn out the lights and lay our head on our pillow. When the day is over and we are through filling our time with doing things. All we have now to do is breathe and wait for sleep to come. Is there no other time when tears flow so easily? I so just wanted to fade away, to be numb and not feel anymore. I missed Leo at work, even if we did spend half the time mad at each other. I missed that feeling I felt three years ago when I decided to stay in Lexington after graduating college. I missed having hope - when hope was exciting and full of life. Now hope was in a nursing home, and I rarely visited.
I got a wedding invitation in December. Two friends from my old church were getting married. They had gotten engaged before I left. I was nervous about seeing everyone again. I still wasn't prepared to directly answer the question as to why I left. My usual response was, "It's a long story."
I pulled into the parking lot for the first time in months. I saw all my friends' cars, including Leo's. Jot was an usher. His girlfriend was one of the bride's maids. I took a seat in one of the back rows, spotting Leo before I sat down. The girl he was sitting by saw me and waved. I waved back. I witnessed my friends make their commitment and all the other stuff that makes up a big wedding.
When it was over, I got up and suddenly was met with the awkwardness of what to do now. I looked around and saw that Leo had made his way up to the pew I was sitting in (these are long pews by the way). He was saying something to a little kid, but it looked like he was waiting to see what I would do. I walked over to where he was. Matt's dad was there too. He always drove the van on our college retreats. He smiled and called my name. I said hello and we got out a sentence or two before Leo looked at me and extended his hand. I stared into his eyes as I held onto his hand too long.
"What did you do, man? Retire?"
"No, bonehead, I left because I'm gay and it is obvious how our church feels about gay people. You should know, since you're like me."
Oh, sorry. That's not what I said. I think I attempted a laugh or something. Yeah, that was it. We talked a minute about who had taken over his job at work and I asked him how he liked going to school in Louisville. That was about it.
In January, with all that still fresh on my mind, I decided that I wasn't going to let it end this way. The silence would end with the sound of a closet creaking open. At the very least, I would "officially" tell Leo.
After picking up the phone and putting it back down several times, I dialed his number. I got the answering machine, so I hung up. Later, I decided to leave a message. After waiting several days for him to return my call, I made up my mind to tell him I was gay but not that I liked him. I paged him, and a few minutes later the phone rang.
"Hello. Is Angie there?"
"Oh, I thought this was the girl I was talking to on the internet paging me."
"No, this is Jamie."
"Oh? Uh, what's up?"
We talked for a while and I ended up saying that I had something that I really wanted to tell him, but I'd rather tell him in person. He said that he would make it over in a few days. I hung up the phone and I haven't talked to him since.
Writing this now makes me realize just how big a fool I am. There is a fine line between holding on and it being romantic and holding on and it just being damn pathetic. I know that there is a certain degree of making yourself vulnerable in love, but at some point it either blossoms into something real or you realize that it is all in your head. It took entirely too long for me to accept that I was gay and I guess it will take even longer for me to accept that Leo and Jamie will never be.
So a few more months went by. I turned in my resignation at the church where I worked as youth leader. I had worked there for three years and felt it was time. The e-mails from the pastor concerning homosexuals made for an even quicker decision. I told them I'd hang around until the end of May.
After all this, you might be wondering what it would have to take for me to come out. Here is what happened:
On a Friday morning in April, I walked into work and our secretary excitedly proclaimed, "Jamie, Leo has a girlfriend!"
Apparently, she and my boss (Leo's brother-in-law) were just having a conversation about it. He added, "Yeah, I think they are getting serious."
"Can you imagine?" she continued. "Leo might get married."
Then they asked me what I thought about that. I responded with, "Huh? Oh that's... that's great, I guess."
Later, I was upset with myself that this news so affected me. I don't know, maybe I was hoping Leo was buying himself time by not coming to see me - you know, just to make sure for himself that he was gay and all. I mean, sure, there were all kinds of signs that he is gay not straight. But maybe I see things skewed to how I want to see them. And the last thing I want to be accused of is "converting" someone who was "serious" about some girl before I came along. It would just fuel their rhetoric about it being a choice. Maybe Leo is bi. I swear I just don't know what to think.
I was all tore up inside. I staggered around my apartment all weekend. If I didn't hate the taste of beer, I probably would have bought me a bunch of it and gotten drunk. I tossed in bed and the covers felt like they weighed a hundred pounds. It took effort to breathe. Something felt like it was dying inside me.
It was Sunday night and I couldn't sleep. I watched the clock slowly count the minutes until it was past midnight. Not exactly in my best state of mind, I got up, turned on the lights, grabbed paper and pen and wrote a letter to Leo. I didn't care if I ever saw him again, but I'll be damned if he wasn't going to hear me out.
Somehow, I managed to compose myself and write a pretty decent coming out letter.
I sealed it up and went back to bed. At some point I finally fell asleep.
Monday came and went and I didn't mail the letter. But on Tuesday night, with it drizzling rain, I pulled up into an empty parking lot and slowly walked up to a blue mailbox. I stood there looking at it, like it was some secret agent to whom I was about to hand over ultra-confidential microfilm.
I slid the letter three-fourths of the way into the slot, pinching the edge of it between my fingers. The wipers on my car squeaked a few times. Then I let go of it.
A couple of days went by. A week. A month. Nothing.
About this same time, the ACLU filed suit against the Kentucky Baptist Homes for Children for its firing of a lesbian employee back in 1998. This caused a huge uproar among Kentucky Baptists. Churches wrote up resolutions and mailed them to our Baptist state newspaper. The first church to do so stated that they had "voted by unanimous consent to give solid support to... Kentucky Baptist Homes for Children in their discharging of a homosexual... In addition to our prayers, we have forwarded to them a check for $5,000 to aid in their defense." Other letters said much the same.
Whenever I get the urge to write a letter to the opinion page of any newspaper, I usually try to wait a few days and see if I still think it would be necessary to do so. More often than not, they are a battleground where words are the weapons. They so rarely encourage anyone to actually think about things. However, we are a planet of humans, not Vulcans, so emotion is natural in our writings. And around here, no topic so stirs up emotions and so paralyzes thinking than that of homosexuality.
I felt that I needed to write something to the Kentucky Baptist newspaper. At this point in my life though, I was pretty much an emotional wreck. I couldn't stay focused at work. Talking to people took energy that I really didn't have. I could feel myself getting more cynical with each passing day.
I was keeping a journal at the time and in it I wrote, "This is it! I just wrote a letter that is going to cause trouble for me." Unbeknownst to me, however, the church where I served as part-time youth minister was simultaneously adopting their own resolution. I wasn't a member there, so I did not hear about the meeting. I wouldn't have had a vote anyway.
I waited anxiously for my letter to appear in the paper. On Thursday, I came home from work and it was in my mailbox. My letter was not in it, but the weekly article updating readers of the situation was there. I laid the paper down and went to run some errands. When I got back, I messed around on the computer for awhile. Then I picked up that newspaper again. In it I read that another church had adopted a resolution calling on the Governor to support the KBHC for its firing of a lesbian worker. I shook my head at this until I read that it was my youth group's church.
A flood of emotions swept over me. On one hand, this church has been very kind to me. They liked me very much. I have "sacrificially given my time and money" they say. I have made friends there and I will always have fond memories of youth group. But the people of that church did not know that I was gay. And I really think that their opinion of me would turn 180 degrees if I told them.
It was 8:15 p.m. on a Thursday night. All I could figure was that I had to talk to someone. So I abruptly decided to grab all my books that I'd been reading about the issue, throw them into a gym bag, and drive across state to where my good friend Curtis had moved a few months ago. He had taken a job as a part-time youth leader at a church out in the middle of nowhere. It took over three hours to get there and I almost hit a deer, a possum, and a dog taking a dump in the middle of the road.
I couldn't believe that I was finally going to tell Curtis that I was gay. Telling Leo seemed like a dream or something because it hadn't been made "real." I hadn't seen him or even heard from him since writing that letter, so coming out to him was different. Now, a month later, here I was driving over 200 miles to tell another friend that I was gay - in person.
This too did not seem "real" until I got off the parkway at the exit to his town. Let me tell you, it got really real when I pulled up to his trailer late at night. I was half delirious, had only been there once before, and now a different truck was parked there. I concluded that this wasn't it, chickened out, and drove down the road to a Shell station. I filled up with gas, cleaned the windshield, and drove back to the trailer. I got out and knocked on the door.
This was it. After a moment the door opened. Curtis' facial expression revealed his surprise. I said that I needed to talk to him. We made small talk while he got off the internet and turned off the television.
I stammered a lot. I said that there was something about me that I needed to tell him, about how I had sort of tried before but I couldn't, and that there comes a point in friendship where you need to be completely honest about things. Then I said what I had been so afraid of saying.
"What I need to tell you is that I am gay."
I pretty much told him everything. I told him about the letter I had sent Leo, but I kept it a secret who Leo was. He probably could figure it out since he knew many of my friends from that church. Overall, I guess he took it pretty well. He said he had actually suspected that I might be gay. One time when I was over at his place in Lexington, he and his roommate kept pestering me to reveal who I liked at my church.
When I wouldn't answer, he said, "I bet it's somebody forbidden - like Jot's girlfriend or somebody."
Yeah, somebody forbidden, I had thought to myself. When they wanted to know who was the last person I had asked out, I brushed them off. They insisted, so I said, "Well, I guess I thought it was APPROPRIATE to ask a girl, so I asked..." Apparently, the way I had said 'appropriate' had caused him to wonder about me.
We talked for about two hours and then I drove back to Lexington. He offered to let me stay, but I had to be at work in the morning. Well, I got so incredibly sleepy on the way back that I had to pull off at a rest area and sleep for a few hours. I got back to Lexington around the time I normally get up to go to work. I crashed on my bed and skipped work. They could fire me for all I cared.
Sometimes I am brave and sometimes I am a coward. I wrote that letter to the Baptist newspaper, but I didn't follow through and tell anybody from that church that I was gay. I didn't tell the pastor and I didn't tell any of the kids that I had worked with for the last three years. Instead, my letter happened to appear in the newspaper the week after the news of their adopted resolution. My going away dinner had been the Sunday before.
In my letter concerning the KBHC's firing of a worker simply because she was a lesbian, I really didn't attack anyone. Every other letter supported the KBHC's stand for moral absolutes. I chose an indirect approach to the situation.
The Western Recorder
May 30, 2000
For whatever reason, God chose the period in time that he did to live a life as one of us and save the world in the process. Yahweh's humanity occurred two thousand years ago, but sometimes I wonder what if that miracle had happened during our time.
Certainly the name Jesus would not be plastered everywhere, because we would not yet know who he was. Would the Messiah still travel around mostly by foot in Israel? Is it possible that Jesus and his disciples would board an airplane and come to America for a few weeks? Perhaps in the fields of Kentucky, Jesus would take a child's McFish sandwich and feed fifteen thousand people.
Wishful thinking aside, the majority of people could not follow Christ around all day. Life would go on while God lived among us.
The historical Jesus told parables in an attempt to get the people to understand grace. Many times, Christ's storytelling pulled from circumstances in his day. Sometimes he would put a twist in the story and it would offend many of his listeners. For that reason, I do not think it inconceivable that a "modern" Jesus would compose the parable of the good lesbian. Such a story today would cause outrage among many in the religious community, much like the idea of a godly Samaritan - a people held in contempt by ancient Jews.
Jamie McDaniel
A month later, I came out to my friend Matt. He said he was surprised, but that we could still be friends. I didn't mention Leo, but I figured Matt would probably tell him that we had hung out. Then in August, I went to my first-ever gay gathering. It lasted four days and was near Chicago. It changed my life. I'll write about that experience next month.

Carroll College offers Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment coverage to all full-time and benefit eligible part-time employees. The premium is split between the employee and the College. Below is a summary of benefits.
This summary was prepared to give you a brief overview of the benefits purchased for you. This summary is in no way a binding contract and should be reviewed as an explanation only.
TIAA-CREF or Teachers' Insurance Annuity Association and College Retirement Equity Fund provides eligible Carroll College employees with retirement planning and management services. TIAA-CREF has a several managed funds that provide varying rates of risk and return. Eligible employees may make pretax contributions to any or all of these funds, up to their federal tax limit.
Carroll College offers two options for participation in the retirement plan. The first option is the College Match Plan or Regular Annuity Contract where an eligible employee contributes at least 5% of his or her gross annual base salary, and Carroll matches that contribution. The employee allocates the contributions among the available funds as he or she chooses. Eligibility to participate in the College Match requires that an employee work at least 1,000 hours per year and be employed with the College for at least one year. Participation becomes mandatory when the employee has worked at least 1,000 hours per year for three years and have attained the age of 30. Employees new to Carroll who have participated in a TIAA-CREF program previously may waive the waiting period and begin participation in the College Match Program immediately.
The second option, called a Supplemental Retirement Annuity Contract or SRA, allows the employee to make pretax contributions (up to his or her federal tax limit) to the same funds available to those employees participating in the College Match Plan, but does not receive a college match. To be eligible to participate in the SRA Program, a Carroll employee must work at least 1,000 hours per year.
For information on how to enroll, a calculation of your maximum allowable contribution, or any other retirement related inquiry, contact the Office of Human Resources.
You can also find out more information about TIAA-CREF or view your investments at the TIAA-CREF web site.

The flexible benefits or cafeteria plan offered to Carroll College employees is administered by Allegiance Benefit Plan Management. The benefit plan allows employees to use pre-tax dollars to pay for out-of-pocket vision, dental or dependent care expenses. Eligible expenses must have been incurred during the plan year (February 1 - January 31) and must be eligible for tax deduction. These are authorized in the IRS Code Section 213. You may not be reimbursed an amount greater than your annual election.
Limited Flex Spending Account
Employees may participate in the FSA on a limited basis. Eligible expenses in a Limited FSA include dental and/or vision expenses only. To be reimbursed, submit a completed Medical Expense Reimbursement Request along with the receipt for services. The maximum annual Limited FSA election is $5,000.
Dependent Care Account
You may elect the Dependent Care Account to reimburse your family's child, elder, or handicapped dependent care expenses. Expenses can be reimbursed for live-in care, baby sitters, day homes and licensed day-care centers. You cannot be reimbursed for expenses paid to one of your tax dependents.
The amount of your election cannot exceed the lesser of your or your spouse's earned income (assumed to be $200.00 per month if you have one eligible dependent in care, $400.00 per month with two or more), nor can your elected benefit exceed $5000.00 per year.
When you have an expense, simply complete a Day Care Expense Reimbersement Request, have your provider sign it (or obtain a receipt) and send it to Allegiance.
Determining your Election
Your flex plan election is a very personal decision that is affected by the amount of medical and dependent care expenses that you anticipate incurring during the plan year. If you are new to the flex plan, it is best to take a conservative stance when estimating your election because any money left in the account at the end of the plan year after all reimbursement requests have been submitted is forfeited. Initially, only elect the amounts for medical and dependent care that you are nearly certain that you will incur. As you gain experience estimating these expenses you can choose to elect more.
Changing your Election
Once your election has been made for the year, it may only be changed under the following circumstances:
Any event or circumstance that changes the number of tax dependents in your family such as marriage, birth, death or divorce. Employment status changes that can effect the need for child care or the rates and availability of health coverage. Significant changes in your employer's health plan coverage or premium rates.
For more information on the Flexible Benefits Plan, to receive Reimbursement Forms, or to change your election, contact the Office of Human Resources.
The EAP program is offered to all eligible employees in co-operation with Reliant Behavioral Health. Lised below are some frequently asked questions about the program.
To Schedule an Appointment
If you or a family member need to access the EAP, please call the EAP line at 1 866 750 1327. Leave your name, phone number(s) and a good time to reach you. An EAP counselor will return your call within 24 hours. From the time of contact with the EAP counselor, an appointment will be scheduled within 72 hours, with urgent needs given priority.
How much does it cost?
When you or family members seek help from the EAP, up to four (4) sessions are provided by the EAP counselor FREE OF CHARGE. These visits are not counted as part of your employee health insurance benefit.
What about Confidentiality?
In keeping with the ethical and legal guidelines that apply to EAP services, all information about you and your family is strictly confidential. There are no computer records and only EAP counselors have access to any information about you. By law, certain situations must be reported. The law states that all health care providers must report to the proper authorities if it is believed a client may be at risk of imminent harm to themselves or another person, or if child or elder abuse is involved.
What if I need a referral?
The EAP counselor will work with you to assess and resolve your problem within four sessions. If this is not possible, however, you will receive a referral to an appropriate professional or program in the community. You are encouraged to mention your Alllegiance insurance coverage (if applicable) prior to the first session to ensure seamless continued service, if necessary.
Who are the EAP Counselors?
The EAP counselors are licensed mental health professionals who provide assessment and therapy to respond to a wide variety of problems. They will help you to focus on a workable solution to the problems that you present.
What about Emergencies?
We realize that emergency situations may arise that call for immediate assistance. If your situation warrants immediate attention, we ask that you contact the Emergency Room of St. Peter's Hospital or call the 24-hour Crisis Line at 800-999-1077.
Does the EAP provide other services?
The EAP also provides educational, legal consultations, as well as financial services and Identity Theft Services. The EAP will also provide consultations to promote a healthy work environment, improve communication, and promote effective interpersonal relationships in the workplace. Please discuss your interest in these services with the Director of Human Resources.
A regular, full-time employee is immediately eligible to attend, tuition free, up to two classes and up to six credits per term at Carroll College as an auditor or for credit. After three years of continuous, regular, part-time service, a regular, part-time employee is eligible to attend, tuition free, up to two classes and up to six credits per term at Carroll College as an audit or for credit.
The spouse and children of tuition remission elegible full time employees may attend classes at Carroll College under a graduated tuition remission benefit relating to the employee's years of service. In order for the child(ren) to be eligible for the tuition remission benefit, the child(ren) may not hold a baccalaureate degree, and must be under 25 years of age, unmarried and dependent upon the financial support of the eligible staff member.
After completion of the benefit eligible years of service, the first year of eligibility, employee's spouse and child(ren) are entitled to a one-third reduction from the regular tuition; after two years, the reduction increases to two-thirds; and after three years, the reduction is increased to the full amount of regular tuition.
Part-time benefit eligible employees also have tuition remission available to their dependents. The remission is available after the employee has been benefit eligible for three years and is pro-rated for spouses and dependents based on the employee full time equivelent (FTE).
After one year of employment, dependents of full-time employees receive tuition remission - 1/3 remission after the 1st year of employment; 2/3 after the 2nd year of employment; and 100% tuition remission after 3 years.
Benefit eligible part-time employees receive a 100% tuition remittance after working at Carroll for only three years. This benefit is extended to dependents of part-time employees based on the FTE (full time equivelent) of the part-time employee.
In addition to free tuition at Carroll College for qualifying dependents, you can also attend classes at Carroll free of charge. This is a wonderful way to keep abreast of new developments and changes in your field or gives you an opportunity to explore areas of interest.
Children of full time employees do not necessarily need to attend college at Carroll. We participate in an association of colleges that trades tuition. This means that your children may have the option of choosing to attend one of over 100 participating colleges with the same tuition waiver that they would otherwise receive at Carroll.

I found out through trial and error (alas, why are the two always connected with me?) that Cedar Bay Cherry is a good fast growing Eugenia that has tasty fruit. This is for those of us who want a cherry substitute for our hot humid climate. I have also found out that Lillypilly will FRUIT IN SHADE and grow there happily (I have the standard Shaded By An Oak Tree New Orleans yard.) I got the seed from these guys; they won't have any more Cedar Bay Cherry seed until the fall.
http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/cedar_bay_cherry.htm The Eugenia reinwardtiana has some shaply thickish leaves and is a pretty little plant; so is the Lillypilly. http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/lilly_pilly.htm |

In zone 10, I'm growing Cherry of the Rio Grande (a lovely plant) and Barbados Cherry. Both are easy to grow and do well in containers. |
How about yours? I have two and no fruit yet, and they are both very small. Any advice? I have Barbados Cherry too and it is blooming. it is a very pretty little plant. |

Of my 4 Cherry of the Rio Grande plants, one is 6' tall, the three younger ones are from 2' to 4' tall. One suffers from branch dieback, the others are thriving. My oldest one (I've had it a year) bloomed this year. I find them to be exceptionally beautiful plants. My Barbados Cherry tree is 3' tall, new this year. It is doing well too. It has not bloomed yet. Mine is not very pretty-rather it is a gnarly looking shrubby tree, not elegant like the COTRG. Here is a photo of the COTRG flowers. Lisa |
Here is a link that might be useful: Cherry of the Rio Grande blooms
Cherry of the Rio Grande is a beautiful tree and it does well in Jacksonville. I got a couple of seedlings from a friend who has three in his yard that are at least twenty feet tall. A couple of weeks ago, his trees were loaded down with delicious, cherry-like fruits. I can't wait for mine to start bearing. |
How wide do these trees get? I am considering planting some along my back wall to serve as a privacy screen but I'm having a hard time finding information on spacing to get a pretty continuous coverage across the wall. Also, how fast are yours growing? I understand if we go this route it may take awhile as they grow slower than many other options, but it might be worth the wait. But, are we talking 5 years or 20 years for a 10 foot high border? |
- Posted by GCMastiffs z10 Florida (My Page) on Mon, May 30, 05 at 16:50
Pine Island Nursery lists them as averaging 12' by 8' but obviously they can get much bigger. They are supposed to make a nice hedge. I love them as container plants. My oldest one grew 3-4' in a year, and went through two hurricanes. I don't consider them slow growing. They take well to pruning. Cutting them back makes them really fill out. The peeling bark and narrow, shiny leaves look good all year. I cannot imagine why they are not more popular! Lisa |
Thanks Lisa! That's great to know that they grow faster than I've read. I'm really having a hard time picking my rear privacy screen. I'd prefer something like these cherries, but the lure of the growth speed of bamboo is really tempting me! Whatever I decide, I definately want one of these cherries somewhere in my yard. They sound very nice and its great to hear first hand experiences confirming it! |
It has a sweet but savory flavor; sort of like it would make a good relish for a burger than being a tasty cherry flavor. I was surprised by the little fruits as I did not see them until they were ripe (they fell into my hand on being touched. That is ripe!) So, this is an interesting plant but I'm going to go to Cherry of the Rio Grande for my sweet cherry, I think. I planted the seeds. |
Do you think these would do well as far north as Charleston, SC? |

While huge company mergers, initial public offerings, and other big business transactions may make the headlines, most of them never could have happened with out thehard work and long hours of a solid investment bank behind them. When the law requiring the separation of commercial (what we traditionally call a "bank" from where you deposit and withdraw money) andinvestment banks (that work with companies and governments to raise and invest money) was repealed in 1999, it caused tremendous upheaval in the industry. Since shortly after the stock market crash ofthe 1920s, commercial banks and investment banks had needed to be separate companies, but today most financial institutions have their fingers in both pies.
Investment banks are experts at calculatingwhat a business is worth, usually for one of two purposes: to price a securities offering or to set the value of a merger or acquisition. Securities include stocks and bonds, and a stock offering maybe an initial public offering (IPO) or any subsequent (or "secondary") offering. In both cases, I-banks charge hefty fees for providing this valuation service, along with other kinds of financialand business advice.
When banks underwrite stock or bond issues, they ensure that institutional investors, such as mutual funds or pension funds, commit to purchasing the issue of stocks or bondsbefore it actually hits the market. In this sense, I-banks are intermediaries between the issuers of securities and the investing public. I-banks make markets to facilitate securities trading by buying andselling securities out of their own account and profiting from the spread between the bid and the ask price. In addition, many I-banks offer retail brokerage and asset management services. Retailbrokerage services deal directly with the customers, allowing individuals and small organizations to purchase stocks, bonds and other financial service products directly. Asset management services... [à continuer]

If you're reading this, you're probably among the many Americans who sit in front of a computer screen for the majority of the day. And you probably spend quite a bit of time eating at your desk. Snacking at work can be one of two things: A mindless eating binge or a healthful addition to your overall diet. To prevent consuming large amounts of calories while focusing on your work and not your mindless munching, try a few of these tricks to make your desk a safe space for eating:
Keep healthy snacks on hand. The best way to eat healthy snack foods at work is to always have them on hand. A snack with an adequate amount of carbohydrates, protein, and a little bit of fat is ideal. If your office has a refrigerator, keep low-fat Greek yogurt, fresh fruit and veggies, single servings of cheese, or single-serve packets of hummus. If you don't have an office refrigerator, don't stress! There are plenty of snacks you can keep in your desk drawer. I like granola bars, nuts/seeds, dried edamame, or individual packets of peanut butter. Another favorite food find is roasted chickpeas from Biena. They are super crunchy and high in protein and fiber.

Here is a philosophical question that has been troubling history's greatest minds for eons upon eons: Who is DeShawn Stevenson if he's not talking smack?
The answer, of course, is impossible to know, as there has never been a time in the entire history of Earth when DeShawn Stevenson wasn't saying or doing something about his opponents. Even before he was born, he somehow found a way to say his mom's womb didn't have enough amniotic fluid. No one's been able to figure out how he pulled that one off.
This year's NBA Finals have been no different, as DeShawn has already called LeBron James and Dwyane Wade "great actors," with regards to their flopping abilities. After Tuesday's Game 4 win, he offered this take on the Heat's toughness. Or rather, lack there of. From Eye On Basketball:
"We have to get into the ball," DeShawn Stevenson said. "They don't want to play a tough game."
That's Stevenson, talking about defense while just casually mentioning how the Heat are a bunch of sissies who'd rather pick flowers and write sonnets than throw down on a basketball court. This seems to be his new move — talking strategy while just slightly zinging the Heat. Very effective.
And just like when he was talking about how great the Heat are at flopping and the Mavericks need to be careful with their fouls, there's truth in DeShawn's latest proclamation. There are times when the Heat seem to slink away when things get rough. That's not a referendum on their manliness or the tired old trope of "they're soft," it's just the reality that the Heat are susceptible to, for lack of a better word, getting punked. That's why people assumed the Celtics would handle Miami, because they'd shown that by beating them up, you can get them off their game.
That being said, DeShawn Stevenson probably isn't thinking of the psychological components of what he said when he's talking about defense. He's probably just thinking that he's the one guy on the court who has a crack tattooed on his face because he doesn't crack, which is still the greatest, and only, oxymoron in NBA face tattoo history. To him, he's the toughest dude around, and that's what's going to win the Mavericks the series. Maybe he's right, but if he's not, I don't think that's going to stop him from talking about it.

The Isabel Marant Shoes Everyone Will Be Wearing Next Season
The following is a guest post from our friends at POPSUGAR Fashion.
If anyone can design a shoe guaranteed to sell out, it's Isabel Marant. She is, after all, the genius who made both wedge sneakers and Western-style ankle booties so popular! But now that next season's nearly upon us, we're starting to wonder what footwear trend she'll be responsible for next. To help us predict the boots, flats and heels we'll be craving in the upcoming months, we've re-visited the designer's Fall/Winter 2013 fashion show from the knees down. Visit POPSUGAR Fashion now to see the shoes everyone will be wearing next month (and probably several months after that, too).
