I weigh 5'1 and 115 Pounds As a petite curvy girl my butt and boobs carry the most weight and are most prone to stretch marks so I bought this on a whim and let me tell u this stuff really works to keep stretch marks at bay it really moisturizes my ta tas and keeps them stretch mark free ! As for the firming I wouldent know that I'm only 20 so don't have issues with that yet but hopefully it will be a good prevention ! My mom used this on her face and Made a huge difference as well it diminished her fine lines as wrinkles dramatically she even felt her face firmer ! So I would recommend this for bust and face :))

Okay, I really like this treatment. My weight fluctuates a lot & this helps everything look taut. It makes me feel better after using it, & I can't give much higher praise. I bought this stuff for its printed purpose, went overboard & applied it up onto my neck, & it just worked out fabulously. No, it isn't a miracle in a bottle, but it does make a difference.
The only thing to keep in mind is that this is a cocoa butter product, & though the smell isn't as strong as most other Palmers products, it is there. Oh, & this is not really a moisturizer.
Psst! Try it on thighs & rumpus, too!

Yeah, me too, after reading all the reviews about how fantastic it is on the facial skin, I gave it a go... and I must say my face just loves it so much. My facial skin is sort of combination I think but it can appear more oily then dry, hence I have whiteheads on my nose and chin area. I tried this gel like Palmer's breast firming cream every nite before bedtime and my face looks fabulous in the morning, not oily. I have started to use it during day time as well, it keeps my face matt and oil free for hours and yesssss, the fine lines around my eyes have reduced much, I have NEVER had a break out with this product, nothing but compliments :). Great stuff! Thanks Palmer's!!!!!

After reading reviews here (specifically the one that mentioned that this contains peptides) I decided to get this to use for my neck/chest area, and I've been very pleased with it. I have definitely noticed that my skin has become thicker/firmer in these areas with continued use and looks better as well. The improvement did not come overnight but with time I have seen a noticeable difference. I have lately started to use this under my eyes at night, and while it is too soon to say what the results are, I can say that I have had no issues with irritation or milia.
This cream is NOT particularly moisturizing, so if you are dry-skinned at all and are using this on the face or under eyes you will probably want to continue using your regular moisturizer in addition to it. As others have mentioned, it has some fragrance. I am not bothered by the fragrance in this (and now that I am single it doesn't matter a whole lot what I smell like when I go to bed), but people who might have a problem should know that it is there and it is a bit strong.
Have been using this twice a day on my face (including around the eyes), neck and chest - and I swear it really does seem to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Not totally, obviously, but I look more freshfaced (and less haggard!) than usual and the effect lasts throughout the day and into the night. The lines of my neck and chest also seem to have diminished, and my chest looks a bit more youthful and 'glowing'. Onto my second tube now - would definitely recommend it to others, especially given the price.

Baught this bust firming cream mainly cause i wanted to test using it on my face. I am starting to see lines under my eyes and i have some deep ones on my forehead and im only 22! Came across this when looking at bust creams and i read a review that someone used it on their face and it helped with their wrinkles so thought id give it a go. I have just applied it to under my eyes and as i applied it it felt very cool and it soaked it literally straight away. My skin then felt really really tight. It didnt feel very nice and it looked as if it was pulling my skin and the wrinkles looked very dry. I applied some to my face aswell and it did the same. So i thought il add a moisturiser over the top so i applied some rosehip oil all over my face and my skin felt alot better and not the tightness it did before. Then i put some dr organic rescue cream just a tiny bit under my eyes so they werent so dry and tight. Now my skin feels really soft and lovely but i should hopefully still get the benefits of the palmers bust cream. I will update on how my skin is tomorrow.
As for using it on the bust. It soaked in straight away so didnt massage it in for long. It felt very cool and maybe very slightly tightening. They now feel sort of soft and dry and not really thoroughly moisturised. Good if you dont like being all greasy just before bedtime!I will percivere using it and see how they look tomorrow and update.
Oh also to add it smells faintly a bit like when you open a box of chocolates and u get a slight whiff of it lol Its not as rich chocolately smell as the palmers lotion etc this ones alot more faint. Which is good :) Another point id like to make is i think it might work better on oilyer skin as its quite drying so it might work a bit better. My skins dry/normal and sensitive. Anyways i will carry on updating as time goes on!
UPDATE - Morning after use... Skin feels soft but dry/soft if that makes sense? I cant tell if its really done anything noticeable to my skin yet so i will keep trying as for bust i dont know if i see a difference yet. I will update maybe within a week or two.
I purchased this due to the great reviews here and on drugstore.com stating that it works great on the face and neck area also. Palmers bust firming cream is more like a gel-lotin that absorbs easily into the skin. It is the typical cocoa butter scent enhanced by a fake cocoa butter fragrance which I did not like. When I used this on my face, it was very irritating and burned me. On my boobs, it was not irritating but really did nothing. I knew it would not firm the girls up, but I wanted it to make the skin there look more supple and youthful. It is so very cheap that it is worth giving it a try. What I like much better for the boob/decollete area is Derma E's Vitamin A & E gel which improved the appearance of the skin giving me the youthful appearance that I wanted.

Add me to the fans using this as a facial treatment. Nothing in a tube is going to hold up your boobs, ladies, but this DOES help firm the skin a bit, and works really well for fine facial lines! I have sensitive, rosacean skin with some clogging and breakouts, have gone through almost a whole tube of this over about eight weeks time with daily use and have had no issues. I wish I could find it in stores, but drugstore.com seems to be the only source. I will definitely repurchase. This has a light, baby powdery smell, not the usual Palmer's cocoa butter scent, and it fades quickly. Works as well as any pricey peptide serum I have tried.

Wow wow wow! this is the best products for under-eye wrinkles I`ve ever tried! I just ordered 3 more tubes so I won`t be without it. I apply a thin layer of it to my full face and neck under my moisturizer and ss. my fine lines appear to be GONE. they even look much better when I smile! I started using eluage and had some crepieness under my eyes and this "bust firming cream" made my skin smooth and plump again.
I also tried this on my bust but it didn`t do much there (I guess working out is the only thing that really works for that). I love to use this on my face and for that cheap price it really is a miracle product for me.
btw I also tried regenerist serum and it didn`t work as well as this does.
I recommend this to everyone. (dry skin probably needs a moisturizer on top, mine does.)
also: I`m very acne prone and this doesn`t break me out (I started 3 weeks ago, using it 1x a day. at night I use eluage and alpha hydrox souffle in rotation.
I will repurchase again and again.
hth. :-)

I saw the reviewer below noted that this product contains the same active ingredient as Regenerist and similar skincare serums. Drugstore.com was having a sale, so I figured, why not. It's now a year later and I buy this stuff three tubes at a time. I LOVE it. Works incredibly well, no breakouts, and the compliments I get on my skin are endless. I use this twice a day, after washing but under moisturizer, and I spread it on both face and neck. I have had no issues using it under my eyes and on my lids. Wonderful stuff -- I recommend it to every woman I know. This is a hidden gem, ladies -- it's taken years off my 39-yo skin. 1 star off for packaging since I often have to cut the tube open to get to the last of it.

Panelists Julie Zeilinger, Nigel Barker, Saba Ismail and Ines Renique.
My relationship with my mother is undoubtedly the most important relationship in my life. My mother always made to sure equality was at the root of our relationship and it's that relationship that has made me the feminist I am today. My bond with my mother is why I was especially excited to be a part of Mom + Social to talk about the advocacy work I do for high school and college-aged women in the context of a space honoring the importance of mothers.
At Mom + Social, Nigel Barker moderated a panel featuring: Saba Ismail, co-founder of Aware Girls; Ines Renique, a Teen Advisor for Girl Up; and me, on behalf of the FBomb, the blog I founded for young feminists. We each shared our experiences advocating for other young women and spoke about the women who have influenced us, each trying to impart the great passion we all feel about our work in a short twenty minutes. Though the three of us do slightly different work, the common themes of the impact of strong women in our lives and our passion for making the world a better place for women and girls was clearly evident. As Nigel noted, he has "manned up" by supporting Girl Up and girls' rights in general, and as a society we need everybody to rise up in support of girls and mothers alike.

Not surprisingly, Lam and Matta crossed paths in Paris, although I have yet to find any definitive references to any conscious artistic cross-pollination between the two. Years later, however, both were featured in an exhibition at the Pierre Matisse Gallery in New York, leaving us to speculate at what an extraordinary show that must have been. You can also get a sense of the overlap in a masterly painting such as La rumeur de la terre (Rumblings of the Earth) (1950), which also carries more than a whiff of Picasso's Guernica.
If you're pleased with Lam at MAM — and if you aren't, I'm not sure if I want to know you — you can further enhance your museumgoing by stopping off at the Gary Nader Gallery in the Wynwood arts district on your way out of town. Nader, one of the top Miami showcases for Latin American art, is piggybacking on the MAM exhibition with "Wifredo Lam: A One-Man Show," which is almost as impressive as its institutional counterpart.
Unlike many such satellite shows, which often consist of little more than a few lithographs, Nader's is the real thing, a full-scale retrospective with dozens of Lam oil paintings, many of them of museum quality. Between these two first-rate exhibitions, you can see in one day more Lam originals than most people will ever see in a lifetime. It's an experience I highly recommend.

The Adobe Design Achievement Awards official judging was recently held at the Adobe offices in New York. During the course of the contest, students from over 70 countries submitted into two submission sessions. Then, thirty-seven pre-selection panelists, representing twelve countries, poured over 4,419 entries to select the best Semifinalist work, which would eventually go on to be judged in the final round in NYC.
The selected Semifinalist students hailed from 50 countries including Indonesia, Austria, UK, Poland, Netherlands, Thailand, Taiwan, Italy, Belgium, Korea, Croatia, China, Brazil, India, and Poland.
This week, nine official judges from varied expertise and unique perspectives, convened to select the most innovative and creative student designs. The official judges reviewed over 1,100 international Semifinalist entries, culminating during an intensive two-day judging process.
Through management by long-standing ADAA partner, Icograda, the judges were set to the task of choosing three Finalists per design category, and one Grand Prize winner per media segment to honor for outstanding achievement in design. The judges weighed in; deliberated, discussed and voted, to arrive at their decisions of finalist and winning entries.
The judges shared their insights on reviewing the entries. "I was most impressed by work that explored concepts in clean, clever, or engaging ways. It was incredible to see so many brilliant ideas executed beautifully," commented Nina Boesch, ADAA judge and 2006 alumnus. "I've enjoyed the unique pleasure of being honored by the contest, then serving on the ADAA pre-selection panel, and this year, serving as an official judge. The ADAA program has been immensely valuable to me as a contest honoree, and now, as a member of its global community."
Adobe is looking forward to formally announcing the 2014 ADAA finalists on August 25, 2014!

Top 10 Worst Foods in Your Fridge and Freezer
by Dana Angelo White in Food Safety, Healthy Tips, April 24, 2012Take a peek in your fridge or freezer. How many of these items do you have stocked?
Defining "Worst"
It's no big shocker that large portions of ice cream, butter and mayonnaise aren't super healthy, but they're not off limits as far as we're concerned. For this list we're highlighting 10 foods that you're better off avoiding all together.
1. Expired Condiments
Condiments do last a while, but certainly not forever! Mold, yeast and other types of creepy-crawly bacteria can grow even in the chilly refrigerator, especially when stored in the warmest part of the fridge—the door. Check dates on all condiments and toss anything you aren't sure about.
2. Sugar-Sweetened Beverages
Sodas, juice drinks and teas can dump hundreds of sugary calories into your day. A 2010 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that most folks consume a whopping 21.4 teaspoons of added sugar each day. You'll find anywhere from 12 to 22 teaspoons in just one bottle of sweetened (16 to 20 fluid ounces) of tea or soda.
3. Coffee Creamer
They're sweet, creamy and totally addictive. But your coffee is really getting mix of palm oil, hydrogenated oils, corn syrup, thickeners and preservatives if you're using these creamers. Stick to good old cream and sugar if you like your coffee light and sweet.
4. Frozen Fried Foods
We recently posted about frozen french fries – the same goes for other frozen fried foods like chicken nuggets and mozzarella sticks. You're better off taking the time to make homemade, baked versions of these favorite foods and stocking your freezer with those, instead.
5. Bottled Salad Dressing
Why ruin a perfectly good salad with gobs of sugar and preservatives? Making your own dressing couldn't be easier.
6. Rotten Fruit
Have you checked the fruit drawer lately? It's easy to forget about fresh produce. Leave it in there for a week or two and you'll end up with a mushy, sticky, moldy and bacteria-filled mess. Overripe fruit also emits ethylene gas that will cause the other fresh produce in your fridge to rot faster.
7. Frozen Entrees
Convenience should never trump health. You can do so much better than plastic trays of salty and fake-tasting food.
8. Ready-to-Bake Dough
Whether it's cookies, croissants or biscuits – these products are tubes of highly-processed ingredients and unhealthy fats. Take the time to make your own dough; you can store it in the freezer so it's always ready to go.
9. Highly Processed Meats
You'll find lots of sodium and preservatives like nitrates in hot dogs, sausages and deli meats – many of these meats are also filled with fat. Choose low-sodium and nitrate-free varieties when available and pass on the higher fat options (like salami and bologna) all together.
10. Artificially-Sweetened Yogurt
An alarmingly high number of low-calorie yogurts use a combination of sugar and artificial sweeteners (that's how they get the calories so low). Check ingredient lists and chose brands that don't use them.

The National Association of Chain Drug Stores is running online video tutorials on NACDS-TV to help attendees plan for the 2014 NACDS Total Store Expo.
Retail News Breaks Archives
ARLINGTON, Va. – The National Association of Chain Drug Stores is running online video tutorials on NACDS-TV to help attendees plan for the 2014 NACDS Total Store Expo.
NACDS said Monday that the first video clips cover how to prepare for two of signature Total Store Expo programs: Meet the Market and Meet the Retailer. The expo is being held Aug. 23 to 26 at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.
The Meet the Market video breaks down how to prepare for 10-minute appointments between retailers and suppliers — which are arranged by NACDS — during the Meet the Market program, which takes place on Saturday, Aug. 23.
The video for the Meet the Retailer program, also held on Aug. 23, gives a glimpse of these exclusive sessions, which provide suppliers of all sizes an opportunity to learn firsthand about how to conduct business and succeed with retailers.
Another NACDS-TV feature, a five-part video series titled "Tips for Successful Exhibiting at Total Store Expo," provides retailer and supplier exhibitors with tips on how to get the most out of the event. Segments include using online resources such as the Exhibitor Manual and My Show Planner Guide to help personalize the show experience.
The videos also feature headlines from the 2013 Total Store Expo and what attendees can expect in 2014 and highlights of the Product Showcase, which promotes new products featured during the show. Attendees, too, are encouraged to contact NACDS at the conference to conduct an interview about their show experience.
New registrants for the Total Store Expo will receive a brief NACDS-TV video message via e-mail after they submit their online registration for the trade show and strategic exchange. The welcome video will provide registrants with the latest information about hotel lodging and the schedule for the expo.
NACDS-TV made its debut at the 2013 Total Store Expo, capturing the inaugural event through interviews, highlights and features that offered attendees a snapshot of the four-day conference and trade show. The association has posted a summary video of the 2013 Total Store Expo online.
The 2013 Total Store Expo drew over 5,500 attendees last August. Survey results from last year's event revealed that 92% planned to return for the 2014 expo.
"These NACDS-TV video clips are designed to help ensure that the NACDS Total Store Expo maximizes business opportunities for retailers and suppliers and leads to a successful experience overall for attendees," NACDS president and chief executive officer Steve Anderson said in a statement. "We encourage all attendees to plan for success using the resources like NACDS-TV, which shows that NACDS is committed to the success of all attendees."

Zip lining: Popular Costa Rican adventure comes to Midwest vacation spots
BY ALEX KANE RUDANSKY For Sun-Times Media
Tree-top travel: Howard Newkirk, 70, of Boyne City, Mich., gets an upclose and personal view of Michigan's natural settings by ziplining along treelines. | Supplied photo
Zip lining suggestions
Below are a few recommendations from experts to prepare for your zip lining experience.
Wear comfortable clothing, such as jeans or shorts. Skirts are not permitted.
Athletic wear is not necessary.
Wear close-toed shoes that will not fall off when you zip line.
Do not bring any loose items that could be dropped while zipping,
such as sunglasses or headbands. Some sites allow cameras, but make sure you
have zipped pockets to put them in.
People with long hair are encouraged to tie their hair back.
No gum or candy allowed.

The first time 70-year-old Howard Newkirk flew across a cable suspended 150 feet off the ground, he knew he was hooked (literally and figuratively).
"In a single year (my wife and I have) turned into zip line fanatics," said Newkirk, of Boyne City, Mich.
Zip lining is an outdoor activity that takes riders across a suspended cable from one point to another. Originating in Costa Rica, zip lines are scattered throughout the U.S., including Michigan, which is now home to about 12 zip line sites. As summer approaches, these sites are gearing up for the season and are expecting larger numbers of riders than ever before.
"When the economy dropped, a lot of people weren't doing big vacations," said Mandie Cooke, a sales representative from Ropes Courses, Inc. in Allegan, Mich. "They were trying to stay local, to find more local things to do; so the industry has really just blown up."
The zip lining experience begins with a short lesson on how to zip line. Certified zip line guides then help riders into a secure harness. From there, riders either walk or are transported to a platform on the tower or tree from which they will zip. Along this process, the rider is always hooked up to at least one cable at any point when they are off the ground. When the rider is ready, they step off the platform, about four stories high, and zip across the cable to the other side.
After zip lining for the first time, Newkirk brought along his wife Marcia, 66, as well as his grandkids and friends on subsequent trips. Marcia said she was nervous before her first zip. Her husband felt similarly.
"When you get up that high, it's a bit daunting," he said.
Tim Duthler, the experiences manager at John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids, said he often notices the concern of a first-time zip liner when they're about to steps off.
"Then you see the joy and sense of accomplishment at the other end," he said.
Todd Wright, co-owner of Wildwood Rush in Boyne City, where Newkirk zips, said he has seen people in their late 80s zip line, as well as people with prosthetic limbs. Wright is currently working on a project that will make zip lines accessible to people in wheelchairs.
Zip lines are often found in forests or other scenic locations, so the rider not only gets an adrenaline rush, but also enjoys the natural surroundings of the site. Wildwood Rush is located in a deciduous forest. The owners tried to disturb nature as little as possible when building the course, incorporating the zip lines into the "wildwoods" to enhance the naturalistic experience.
"It's as pretty as northern Michigan gets," Newkirk said. "You're going through the trees up close and personal."
Flying through the spring and summer foliage, "you feel like Tarzan and Jane," Marcia Newkirk added.
Among some of the Michigan zip lining sites that are fairly close to the Chicagoland area are:
John Ball Zoo
1300 W. Fulton St.
Grand Rapids, Mich.
(616) 336-4301
The zip line at John Ball Zoo is suspended over the zoo's aviary and waterfall and takes about 30 seconds to a minute to cross. The starting point of the zip line sits on the second highest point in Grand Rapids.
Length: 300 feet
Height: Four stories
Cost: $6
Requirements: Minimum 43 inches tall; must be between 65 and 260 pounds.
Ropes Courses, Inc.
1300 Lincoln Road
Allegan, Mich.
(269) 673-0016
Riders zip from one tower to another and back again at this Allegan site, which has been in business for 23 years.
Length: 150 feet
Height: 60 feet
Cost: $15 for one hour; $25 for two hours
Requirements: Minimum 48 inches tall; Maximum weight 300 pounds.
Wildwood Rush
2575 Boyne City Rd.
Boyne City, Mich.
(231) 582-3400
Located in a deciduous forest, Wildwood Rush provides the largest canopy tour in Michigan with a total of 11 zip lines. The entire course covers over 1.5 miles, including the zip lines and five suspension bridges. Riders can choose to take the full tour (about a two-hour ride across multiple zip lines) or zip down the last racing line, which is a much faster ride.
Length: 220-1,200 feet
Height: 80-150 feet
Cost: $75 for full canopy tour ($65 with a group of eight); $20 for shorter racing line
Requirements: Must weigh between 70 and 270 pounds.
Boyne Mountain Resort
Boyne Highlands:
600 Highland Drive
Harbor Springs, Mich.
(231) 526-3835
Boyne Mountain
One Boyne Mountain Road
Boyne Falls, Mich.
(231) 549-7256
Description: Launched in 2009, these two zip line sites provide similar experiences in different locations. The difference between the two sites is the layout of the course. The year-round sites offer two options: a two and a half hour guided zip line adventure tour, and twin zip rides. On the adventure tour, riders take a chairlift to the mountain top and ride a series of zip lines through trees and valleys down to the base of the hill. The twin zip ride is a single line ride that riders can ride one or two times. The resorts boast the longest single zip line ride in Michigan (how long is the ride??), with the longest cable reaching 1,300 feet.
Length: 200-1,300 feet
Height: 50 feet
Price: $64 for two-and-a-half-hour zip line adventure tour; $20-25 for twin zip ride
Requirements: minimum 3 feet tall; must be between 60 and 275 pounds
Note: Must call ahead for reservations.

Mate, Just Look At Yourself!
By Nick BryantApril 25, 2012
Australia has a better story than its lazy clichés would suggest. The wonder from down under needs a linguistic relocation.
Midway through 2009, when Kevin Rudd looked still like a leader who would one day have the word 'era' attached to his name, a select group of young Australian historians received calls from the Prime Minister's office in Canberra asking if they would participate in a series of meetings in Sydney.
Mr Rudd's chief speechwriter, Tim Dixon, explained that the government wanted a "smarter engagement" with Australian history, and that Labor was losing the culture wars debate to conservatives. The Rudd government wanted to produce an alternative national narrative that went beyond the foundation story of Gallipoli popularised by John Howard — one which had more of a progressive, and less of a militaristic, slant. The Prime Minister was particularly keen to explore how core Labor principles, such as egalitarianism and fairness, could become more resonant. "The left had embraced the black-armband view of history," says Tim Dixon, "and lost the thread of a positive story for Australia."
Soon after, some of the country's leading historians, along with a number of progressive thinkers, gathered at the Intercontinental Hotel in Sydney's CBD. There, they took part in two, day-long discussions that had the freewheeling feel of academic seminars but which also had a political purpose. Ideally, the thinking that emerged from these gatherings would be crystallized in a series of prime ministerial speeches.
"There was a strong feeling that we were losing the big-picture narrative," says David Hetherington from the think-tank Per Capita, who took part in one of the sessions, "and that Howard had wrenched the debate away from us. We weren't prosecuting the big culture war battle strongly enough."
ANZAC revivalism was a case in point. In the trenches of Gallipoli, the right saw the kind of rugged individualism that matched their conservative philosophy. Instead, Labor wanted to highlight mateship under fire and the fierce egalitarianism of Australian diggers.
During one session, Dennis Glover, a speechwriter for a number of leading ALP figures, presented a paper on how Labor could rewrite the narrative of Gallipoli and move beyond the notion that mateship was exclusively male and Anglo-Saxon.
There was a discussion on the role of women in Australian society, long an area of historiographical neglect. Tim Dixon was also particularly keen to focus on how, since its earliest days, Australia had been a laboratory of social reform — pioneering a living wage, old age pensions and female suffrage. Why, Australia had even voted in the world's first Labour government.
Soon after, in August 2009, Kevin Rudd delivered a speech which distilled many of these ideas at the launch of Thomas Keneally's new historical study Australians: Origins to Eureka. Most notably, Rudd called for a "truce" in the history wars and "to leave behind the polarisation that began to infect every discussion of our nation's past".
Not only was the Sydney dialogue indicative of Labor's problem in advancing a narrative but also of Australia's as a whole.
As Kevin Rudd argued at the Keneally book launch, the culture wars of the past decade have led to the politicisation of history — the appropriation of national stories, including Gallipoli, as much as their articulation. Countervailing, politically-charged narratives — mateship against individualism, collective endeavour against personal independence — have stood in the way of the emergence of a more cohesive and consensual national story.
As for the more recent success story of Australia's economic exceptionalism — its adeptness at avoiding the past three global recessions — the hyper-partisanship on daily display in Canberra has served again as an obstacle.
Labor has found it hard to acknowledge the contribution of John Howard and Peter Costello, much as Howard failed to give due credit to Paul Keating and, less so, Bob Hawke. The great reform era, stretching from opening up of the economy under Labor to the introduction of the GST under the Coalition, has been a shared enterprise, which both the right and left can look back on with pride. But politicians have found to hard to bring themselves to fairly apportion the credit.
For Labor, the ouster of Kevin Rudd has added an extra layer of complication.
Julia Gillard has preferred to erase her predecessor from the picture altogether, as she did at the ALP conference last December when she omitted his name from her honour roll of former Labor prime ministers, rather than salute his successful economic stewardship in the wake of the global financial crisis. Labor cannot even settle on a take of its four years in office, let alone trace a broader arc.
Nor has the Liberal leader Tony Abbott yet come up with his own big-picture speech — even though, as he showed in his book Battlelines and in a thoughtful essay on national identity that he penned for the Bicentenary edition of The Bulletin in 1988, he is more than intellectually equipped to do so. Instead, his leadership has come to be defined by sloganeering and negativity, while his imaginings of Australia appear sepia-tinted, rather than blue sky.
Into this void have stepped two of the country's leading political journalists, Peter Hartcher, the political and international editor of the Sydney Morning Herald, and George Megalogenis, a columnist with The Australian. Both have produced fresh national narratives that go beyond the partisan. Perhaps they have even contributed to a shift in the national paradigm — although to put it in these terms is to invite the kind of piss-taking that has traditionally militated against national self-congratulation.
In The Sweet Spot: How Australia Made Its Own Luck — and Could Now Throw It All Away, Hartcher argues that Australia seemed "destined to fail" at the moment of white settlement in 1788, and that its geographic remoteness, "fragile environment", population of "criminal outcasts", and "racial discrimination and exclusion" seemed to conspire against success. In just over 200 years, however, it has become a model nation, a global exemplar.
"Australia today is closer than it has ever been to fulfilling its promise as a golden land," he writes, "even the most golden of all lands."
Strangely, however, Australia has been reticent about its attainments. "If this were a sporting triumph, Australians would have erupted in a frenzy of celebration," he wryly observes. "Perhaps we need a medal ceremony to get people's attention?"
George Megalogenis not only has christened this The Australian Moment, but spoken as well of an "Australian miracle". After nearly three decades of continuous reform, he notes, the country is "more versatile today than any other first-world nation".
Like Hartcher, however, he is struck by the lack of self-congratulation. It "does not fit with the humble story we have been telling ourselves since federation," he claims, "that we are a spoilt people in charge of a minerals-rich continent, a quarry with a view."
The "laconic side" of the national character "wants to downplay the achievement", he adds. "The insecure side assumes that we will succumb soon enough."
Then there is the "self-sabotaging streak" overlaid by an aversion to "self-reflection". Indeed, the country personifies itself in the Olympic gold medallist Steven Bradbury, the journeyman speed skater who managed to remain upright while everyone in front of him tumbled on the ice.
Yet there is another reason for Australia's disinclination to bask in its own achievements beyond the sporting realm, which relates more to its means of self-expression than a failure of self-awareness. The language, tropes and cliches commonly used to define this often confounding land are becoming increasingly obsolete. Australia has a national vocabulary that is no longer fit for purpose, and a frame of thinking that is starting to look like a derelict shell. The country will not get its narrative right until it dispenses with its dated vernacular.
The Lucky Country thinking promulgated by Donald Horne in the mid-sixties, at once so durable and debilitating, is partly to blame: this self-belittling notion that the country is undeserving of its success and owes it, in large part, to its rich endowment of natural resources. Here again, Hartcher and Megalogenis have performed a valuable service by offering a counter-narrative.
The last journalist to interview Donald Horne, Hartcher describes his book as a response to The Lucky Country. It reads, however, more like a rebuttal. He reminds us, for instance, that Australia managed to avoid two of the last three global recessions — the Asian financial crisis in 1997 and the dot.com collapse in 2000 — well before the effects of the mining boom trickled through to the rest of the economy.
"By the time the commodities boom of the 2000s began its first phase in 2004-2005," he notes, "Australia had already developed a flexible, high-performance economy that was consistently outstripping US growth." Others had noticed this, as well, he says, not least Paul Krugman, the Nobel prize-winning American economist, who observed as far back as 1998 Australia was "the miracle economy of the world financial crisis".
From George Megalogenis comes the second punch in the one-two combination aimed at Horne. "An American or a European might think it is easy for us to gloat when we are blessed with the world's biggest quarry in China's backyard," he writes. "But China didn't get us through the initial phase of the GFC. The communist stimulus only kicked in later in 2009, well after the first phase of ours had done its job."
What makes Horne's The Lucky Country so hard to knock down is not just that its title has been so frequently misappropriated, but also that its thesis has been so widely misinterpreted.
In a 1976 follow-up, entitled Death of the Lucky Country, Horne sought to clarify precisely what he meant:
"When I invented the phrase in 1964 to describe Australia, I said: 'Australia is a lucky country run by second rate people who share its luck.' I didn't mean that it had a lot of material resources … I had in mind the idea of Australia as a derived society whose prosperity in the great age of manufacturing came from the luck of its historical origins … In the lucky style we have never 'earned' our democracy. We simply went along with some British habits."
To quote from this passage is to open up all sorts of a new lines of debate, but it helps scotch the idea that luck and success automatically equate with abundant resources — what might be called the "fluro-jacketed version" of Australian contemporary history.
Just as Lucky Country thinking has long been an impediment, so too has the over-reliance on anthropomorphic language to describe Australia's national development: the linguistic corollary of being settled by the "Mother Country". Terms like "colonial upstart", "rebellious teenager" or "aggressive adolescence" imply stunted development and an inability to achieve full maturity.
Australia might not yet be fully realised — which country is? — but to describe it as immature or in some way adolescent is preposterous. As Clive James observed in 2000, when he wrote in celebration of the Sydney Olympics — an event commonly described as Australia's "coming of age" — "it was only the belief that was lacking, never the maturity".
Mother Country-speak has spawned other familial expressions. We talk of an "umbilical relationship" with Britain, of the need to "cut the apron springs" or, as Horne put it, to bring about some "final casting off". All imply that Australia is still struggling to overcome a childlike fear of abandonment. All speak of an Anglo-centric mindset which, with each iron ore shipment to China or new security arrangement with Washington, seems antiquated.
This language is particularly problematic for republicans, not only because it plays on a sentimental attachment that has buttressed the status quo, but also because it presumes that Australia remains somehow reliant on Britain performing a parental, or matriarchal, role.
Little wonder that James Curran, a historian at Sydney University and the co-author of The Unknown Nation: Australia After Empire, argues for a "rhetorical reset" in a new collection of essays on republicanism due out later this year. With dismay, he cites the 2010 National Republican Lecture delivered by Professor Patrick McGorry, that year's Australian of the Year, who spoke of emerging from "prolonged adolescence" into "the full flower of independent adulthood".
Such expressions, notes Curran, "will struggle to win new converts to the cause. Indeed, it might be a requirement for all future republican advocates to swear that they will henceforth dispense with these tired, creaky old anatomical metaphors. The republican debate need not be permanently riddled with this strain of rhetorical arthritis."
Rhetorical rigor mortis is perhaps the way to describe the language of Australian remoteness. Given the shift of the global locus from the Atlantic to the Pacific, terms such as "antipodes", which grew from being at the opposite end of the earth's surface to Britain, and its popular derivative the "land down under" which first appeared in the 1880s, seem especially redundant.
Indeed, the "land down under" tends now to be used mainly when Australians are trying to make their country intelligible to Americans, as with tourism advertisements. Or, when Julia Gillard addressed a joint session of Congress last year, and told US lawmakers: "You have a true friend Down Under."
As for "The Tyranny of Distance," the title of Geoffrey Blainey's landmark 1967 study, it is very much a relic from the bush telegraph and steamship age.
"Australians don't think of themselves as being down under anymore," says Joseph Pugliese, associate professor of cultural studies at Macquarie University. "Nor is the tyranny of distance used in popular or academic discourse. The younger generation would not even know what is meant by it."
The vocabulary of peripheralism is also being banished from the diplomatic lexicon.
Surely it no longer requires "very good peripheral vision to see Australia on the world map", as Owen Harries, the former planning head at the Department of Foreign Affairs, suggested during his ABC Boyer lecture in 2003.
Nor is Australia the "strategic backwater" that Kim Beazley described (a recent article in the New York Times located the country in China's "strategic backyard"). Surely, no future prime minister would ever say, as Paul Keating did in a private conversation with Bob Hawke prior to entering The Lodge, that Australia is at the "arse end of the world". Instead, Julia Gillard and Wayne Swan talk about being in "the right place at the right time", a formulation that is starting to take hold.
Besides, a new vocabulary is already emerging that reflects the nearness of Australia. Tim Harcourt, the self-styled "Airport Economist", talks now about the "power of proximity". Recently, during a discussion on the Arab Spring at the Lowy Institute in Sydney, a fellow insisted on referring to the Middle East as West Asia, which speaks of the global reorientation. Bob Carr, the new foreign affairs minister, has started to use the inelegant phrase "Asianised" to describe the country he now represents abroad.
Even internationally, where old clichés die hard, the phrase "down under", with its imputations of isolation and irrelevance, is less commonly used.
In a cover story last year, The Economist dubbed Australia "The Golden State" (in an accompanying 13,000-word special report, the words "down under" did not appear once).
Signing off after a five-year stint as the BBC's Australia correspondent, my final dispatch was entitled "The Consequential Country" (although, confessedly, I often found it hard to resist the phrase, "the wonder from down under"). In the wake of the Obama administration's Asian pivot, Charles Emmerson, a scholar at Chatham House in London, referred to "the pivotal country".
Just as the conversation about national success is changing, so, too, are attitudes towards personal success.
Perhaps it is to also time, then, to rethink the Tall Poppy Syndrome, a phrase that was not used until 1979 but which has since become the laziest of journalistic fallbacks.
After all, in the past 12 months, Australians have rejoiced at the achievements of their compatriots, whether it came on the Champs Élysées in Paris, with the yellow jersey success of the cyclist Cadel Evans, the courts of Flushing Meadows in New York, where the tennis player Sam Stosur won the US Open title, or the Stockholm Concert Hall, where Brian Schmidt — or CosmicPinot, as he is known to his followers on Twitter — received his Nobel Prize for Physics.
Geoffrey Rush, one of the country's more exotic flowers, has proved a popular winner of the Australian of the Year, while Michael Clarke, a one-time victim of the national scythe, has blossomed as a batsman and a captain.
Is not a celebration of the individual evident in the popular success of the Archibald Prize in Sydney or the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra? Or the literary and other cultural awards that, until recently, proliferated? Nor were Kevin Rudd and Malcolm Turnbull victims of the tall poppy syndrome. Approved of by the public, it was their party rooms that cut them down — and well before the point of full flower.
Like the Tall Poppy Syndrome, the cultural cringe tells us more about slothful journalism and tired commentary than any lingering pangs of inferiority. In any case, the cringe long gave way to the cultural creep, Australia's mounting artistic influence abroad. Nor does "She'll be right," a phrase that made its debut in the Adelaide Mail in 1940, seem to fit a country that has worked so industriously and creatively for its success.
Yet, as the database at the Australian National Dictionary Centre in Canberra reveals, "She'll be right" gets at least two outings a week in Australian newspapers, while "Tall Poppy Syndrome" has been a weekly fixture for years. As the Centre's director, Sarah Ogilvie, notes: "People are still using phrases which to an outsider seem anachronistic."
The irony is that words and new expressions are the first indicator of cultural change and that academic lexicographers usually have to race to catch up.
Australia at present seems to defy that lexicographical rule. So much of its vernacular describes the old Australia rather than the new — an assumed country rather than the real thing.
So the time has come for renovation, for the language is lagging behind The Australia Moment.

Changes and Effects of Foreign Business Act
Changes and Effects of Foreign Business Act
Therefore FBA is in fact Domestic Industry Protection Act.
Since 1990s of open door policy, Thailand had promoted vigorously FDI - foreign direct investment of almost every areas from manufacture and service by promoting foreign capital and technology.
During such passionate efforts, the passion of promoting local capital and technology was disappeared.
In any corporate in Thailand, if microscopic sight is given deeply, few firms are pure corporate based on complete indigenious capital, technology and marketing resources.
Even the PTT group companies, the mascott of Thai energy agency, they can not sustain without foreign marketing mechanism and support. They have to depend on who will supply crude oil, who will fund them, who will buy their products. They are merely local retailers who stand aloft over regional gas station franchisers.
Look at the Siam Cement Group companies who are the most praiseable corporates.
Without peculiar exclusivity marketing power, their cement, glass and paper business would have been lost to the multinational capitalists and technology innovators. Their petrochemical business must depend on foreign capital, technology, marketing and management technology.
Other corporates mainly owned by TRT connection politicians are no body. They are
merely Agent, barely a distributors, and simple commission takers in pure term of industry. They imported mobile handphone at 6000 baht and once sold 35000 baht.
In this degree, they are the thief. so called systematic corruption structure is Thai industry structure.
There is a famous joke over expatriate circle,
"Thai sales manager is one that just sit in airconditioned office and call buyer".
In a dynamic society, the company do not give table and chair to the sales manager but airticket, finest mobile appliances, 24hours standby travel bag only with unlimited credit cards. The company take care of his family.
In such business circumstance, What can Thailand protect and promote local industry ?.
TRT government made a mass production of the poor people although most of the poor people do not feel they are poor.
In same logics, Thai industrialists do not want to endeavor to raise local fund, create local technology, the will to go inter and bloody compete with Malaysian, Singaporean and Vietnamese cometitors.
Why do they have to protect these people ?.
The local protection policy written in new FBA will certainly produce a massive nominees among now on advertisement everywhere, 1000 BEST THAI CORPORATES.
Why do they suddenly come out and spend much money to advertise them, for what in this bearish market and the death of market psychology ?
The answer is simple. They try to take chance of free windmill to pickup the debris FB investor leave.
Foreign business will "weather" Thai business or 'close' it.
Weather means, leave it as it is to natural death or resurrect when politicians changed hands.
Investors have always 3 options. When their products are sellable, they come. Deserting a market means the death sentence of a nation economy. Hundred governments are very careful when a company leaves own country. Every ministers and diplomats are running to invite foreign investment in this globe. Even USA president Bush want small country president to appeal to invest in USA.
Every governor from California to Maine frequently travel overseas and beg for investment in USA.
" We had invested a lot in your country in past, you are rich now, please come and invest our country too please".
Nominee matter is already long settled business practise in Thailand. Therefore it became de-facto law or common law.
If people step cross grass yard and make it clear passage, it is a road undeniably.
Suddenly in a morning they come out and put a stake "Dont cross grass !".
What an international joke this is !.
Now the grass crossers come out in mass and weigh the retaliation measure through legitimate international organization like WTO.
If this kind of things happen, Thailand is nobody. They must look at their face in clearer mirror.
Many aliens now suspect "hidden agenda" in the FBA changes, that is, expropriation of foreign business and divided it to the already-noble-havings of small core circle of famous family Nam-Sakoon, from M to S.
This M -- S can operate TESCO or sophisticate petrochemical products ?.
Certainly not, once alien left, the business is dead because they sealed off channels of buying and selling of raw materials and products, as well as killing off their products in international market.
Thailand want another North Korea ?.
Thailand must have civilian government as soon as possible. The economic team try to make conspiracy under name of coup but the old generals do not know what now happening.
Before damage is deepened, things must be corrected.

RE: Changes and Effects of Foreign Business Act
Incompetent business practices and shear greed, saw the downfall of the Thai economy in the 1990s.
Protectionist policies in Thailand only serve the ruling classes as they are the ones who can afford to control the companies and investments.
Changing the Industial Relations Laws and implementing Inheritance taxes in Thailand is what's trully needed.
The disparity between wages in Thailand is absurd as the wealthy classes enjoy profits in par with there Western counterparts.
Foreign investment and the knowledge it brings into the country can never flourish if incompetence is allowed the majority rule.
Not only is this unproductive but trully is of no benefit to the majority of Thai workers who struggle to support and educate their families.
The FBA does very little to help most Thais. It only serves the 10% ruling class that continually enforce their control over the present fragile economy.
Thailand's rich have to stop proclaiming to the world that they are poor and that Thailand is still developing.
As I see it the only development is the enrichment of the ruling classes.
The FBA serves them and them alone as it restricts and manipulates not only the flow of foreign investmant but also moral and ethical business practices that allow workers to benefit from their labour.
I always assumed democratic laws were made to help the whole population not just the few.
But in Thailand the laws are made by the very people who control the economy, why would they be fair as that would mean actually sharing the wealth that is undoubtly been generated in this continually developing economy.
When will Thais look in on themselves as see the true cause of disharmony in the country. It is not foriegn investment or foreign political ideology that influences Thai laws. It is more about the fear of the ruling class loosing control of the very monopolies they have created to control the country itself.

RE: RE: Changes and Effects of Foreign Business Act
The damaged countries will show up with retaliatory measure, like raising this "Thai agenda' to international institute such as WTO and the damaged foreign firm wil sue to own court or international court. Such ghosts will hang around Thai economy and it will collapse in a morning. The buyer of free falling stock will be prohibited for next transaction until the legal claim is cleared.
Then, Thailand will not be able to remain "Mai Pen Rai" status. I believe Thai policy makers will waste some more time until they realize the mistake. FBA is not such adhoc appointee's job and it must have been conveyed to the next legitimate government.
They are real revolutionary than the military coup leaders are. What a nonsense !.
Migo, your investment may await for next 10 years to fruit if any or written off like useless papers. Be scrupulous !. Always the world rolls beyond Thai wisdom.

I knew some friends who try to fur fill their dream, they all came back home with empty pockets, or stranded in some bar in Pattaya were they pretend to be big business men with the tourist from their home country. I have a friend who had an successful restaurant in Belgium, he invested 2O million bath in building a small exclusive hotel in Pukhet. One day one royal even came to dinner their. Two years later he was back home also with empty pockets.
I gave him the same advise as I'm giving to you now. If you not backed up by some major international company don't make any business in Thailand. If you like to stay in Thailand you should have an sufficient income from your home country.
Otherwise visit Thailand as an tourist and enjoy your holiday time.
RE: RE: Changes and Effects of Foreign Business Act
I believe there are two kinds of people in this world, the shepards and the sheep. The sheep follow the shepard because they have no purpose and no direction, following each other, head down with short vision. Now the shepard he watches far ahead, leading the sheep to pastures, protecting them from hungry eyes, thinking and managing his investments every move. He is the success of the herd. Everything is in his hands. Failure or prosperity is his sword.
In my country 90% of business's fail in there first year. Of the 10% remaining, 95% of these fail in 3 years. Of the 5% 0f that 10% that manage to last, in 10 years they are grey, stressed, addicted to work, failures in personal relationships and generally miserable souls that 95% of the population think are lucky.
Im a 5% of 10% ers, and I reckon that if Im going to be an ageing miserable bugger, Im going to do it where the sun shines everyday, the beaches are beautiful, and the fishing is just divine. The fear of losing money isnt a reason to live a little. Money comes and it goes.
Bit off track now, but thanks Harry for the enlighting tale about a sheep who lost his shepard.
Thankyou kindly passerby, the info you have provided is invaluable. Im excited by the country and the opportunities that lie there.

Creating a new downtown
Fairfax County hopes to undo 50 years of unmanaged growth in Tysons Corner by wooing developers into transforming the pedestrian nightmare into a walkable urban core anchored by the Metro's new Silver Line. Roughly a dozen major redevelopment proposals for the area are either approved or on track to approval within the next year or so. Read related article.

Port St. Lucie, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Atlanta Braves right-hander Kris Medlen left Sunday's spring training start against the New York Mets in the fourth inning with a forearm strain in his pitching arm.
With two outs in the bottom of the fourth, Medlen threw his first pitch to Matt Clark and could be seen reaching for his right forearm/elbow.
After throwing his next pitch, Medlen hopped off the mound and headed straight for the dugout.
He returned to Braves training camp in Lake Buena Vista and will be further examined and evaluated on Monday.
The 28-year-old had Tommy John surgery on the same elbow in August 2010 and missed most of the following season recovering from the procedure.
Medlen bounced back to go 10-1 with a minuscule 1.57 earned run average in 2012 before going 15-12 with a 3.11 ERA over 31 starts for the Braves last season.

It was a case of third time lucky for Willie Limond as he finally achieved his British title dream with a stylish performance against Curtis Woodhouse in Glasgow.
The 35-year-old twice floored Woodhouse with some powerful upper cuts on his way to a points victory to take the British light-welterweight belt.
Limond, who retained his Commonwealth title in the process, was eight points ahead on the referee's scorecard and five ahead with one of the judges with the other surprisingly scoring a draw.
\"It's taken me 13 years to get it,\" a delighted Limond told Sky Sports. \"It was a great fight and Curtis pushed me all the way. I think I needed Curtis to do that to make me perform.
\"I think I just caught him off balance a bit. That was 12 weeks. I knew I had to train hard because I knew Curtis was fit.
\"I'd watched every one of Curtis' fights since he'd turned pro. I feel I performed the best I could at the age I'm at.\"
Woodhouse, who briefly retired immediately after taking the title from Darren Hamilton in February, felt Limond's relative inactivity in recent years would go against his opponent but the Scot produced a classy display of timing and skill.
Limond - who lost to Alex Arthur and Anthony Crolla in his previous British title fights - was the more accurate puncher in the first two rounds and he stepped up his dominance in the third round when he put Woodhouse flat on his back with a left-handed upper cut, the bell proving a welcome end to the eight-second count for the 34-year-old Englishman.
The Scot stayed on top in the fourth and almost caught Woodhouse with another upper cut and, although the Englishman showed great heart to step up the pace and force Limond back, the Scot continued to land some well-timed shots.
Woodhouse seemed to increase his work-rate further but Limond briefly had him on the ropes after a powerful right hook in the ninth and put him on the canvas again late in the 11th after following a left-right counter-attack with another upper cut.
The former Birmingham and Sheffield United player again got back to his feet to give himself a chance of stealing the contest but the Scot stayed out of trouble.
\"I was desperate to hang on to my British title, that belt meant the absolute world to me,\" a deflated Woodhouse told Sky Sports.
\"I fought the hardest I could, but on the night Willie was the better man. I've got no excuses, no complaints.
\"The better man won tonight. I still love the game, and it's still raw. But no one can take away from me that I was one day the British champion.
\"I'm disappointed but overall, once the swelling has gone down, I'll be really proud of what I achieved.\"
