Rated 5 out of 5Â by Hannah2 Like Wearing a Blanket on your Neck! This is the softest scarf ever. I am not kidding. Trust me it is worth the price. I got the cream color, and it goes with every outfit. It is my winter essential. I don't think I could survive the Polar Vortex without it! 1.7.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by dominikapawlowsk High quality & stylish This scarf is a winter essential! It is extremely soft (as many friends have exclaimed), & makes any outfit look more luxurious. I purchased the taupe colour & feel it really complements a lot of tops. The sizing is great, as it frames the face, & keeps you warm without being too chunky. 1.5.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by alexah LOVE!! I am in love with this scarf! So very soft and a lovely color. All three (I saw in store) are great but the cream is by far my favorite. It's a great size too- chunky, but, not overly so. A must for the winter! 12.10.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sdr206 If a chinchilla and the Snuggle bear had a baby It would be this scarf. So incredibly warm, soft, and smooooooth. Feels like silk. Wore it out the store and was the only one smiling on the streets in this blustering NYC winter. 11.25.2013

UF Law Professor Combats Racism
By Editorial Staff
Published March 2, 1990
GAINESVILLE, FL (FR) – As racism rears its ugly head throughout the nation, the need for compassionate and enlightened thinking swells. Incidents of racism in northeastern regions of Boston and New York, and the formation of groups like the skinheads and neo-Nazis have intensified the commitment of civil rights proponents everywhere.
At the University of Florida College of Law, Professor Anthony E. Cook is researching and advancing the causes entrenched in the hearts and minds of Black Americans through his scholarship and ministry. As a professor and part-time minister who is actively engaged in community service, Cook is committed to merging the realities of daily life with his vocation.
"There is an interplay between what I do as a legal scholar and what I do as a minister," Cook says. "I try to see see how my activities in the community can inform my legal scholarship and how legal scholarship can inform my community activities."
In a recent interview to be published in the Harvard Law Review, Cook presents the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as a paradigm example of the necessary interplay between scholarship, ministry and community service. The article attempts to advance the concept as a way of approaching the problems of racism and inequality.
At Mount Carmel Baptist Church in Gainesville, Cook preaches once a month, counsels young adults and organizes youth projects. He is also a member of a local anti-drug task force and the Coalition Against Bigotry.
In all his work, Cook aims to raise consciousness concerning the problems of racism, poverty and crime. "We need more people thinking about the problems facing poor people and other oppressed groups in our society. Individuals who can transcend limitations should take advantage of opportunities to serve as role models or moral leaders to assist others."
"Growing up across the road from a country church instilled a lot in me," he said. "And my parents really expected a lot and encouraged me in every way. Consequently, I was a hard worker."

These shocking eyewitness accounts expose the dangers of abortion not only to unborn children, but to the health and lives women as well. An antidote to the smokescreens of the liberal media, these short clips show what really happens in and around abortion clinics.

Watch these pro-life videos on-line.
"These videos helped change my mind from pro-choice to pro-life. Your videos are what did it for me. I will be walking in next year's March For Life in San Francisco." — A. Jackson, California

The Real Jesus: A Defense of the Historicity and Divinity of Christ (DVD)
Who is the Real Jesus?
Ever since the dawn of modern rationalism, skeptics have sought to use textual criticism, archeology and historical reconstructions to uncover the "historical Jesus" — a wise teacher who said many wonderful things, but fulfilled no prophecies, performed no miracles and certainly did not rise from the dead in triumph over sin.
Over the past 100 years, however, startling discoveries in biblical archeology and scholarship have all but vanquished the faulty assumptions of these doubting modernists. Regrettably, these discoveries have often been ignored by the skeptics as well as by the popular media. As a result, the liberal view still holds sway in universities and impacts the culture and even much of the church.
The Real Jesus explodes the myths of these critics and the movies, books and television programs that have popularized their views. Presented in ten parts — perfect for individual, family and classroom study — viewers will be challenged to go deeper in their knowledge of Christ in order to be able to defend their faith and present the truth to a skeptical modern world – that the Jesus of the Gospels is the Jesus of history — "the same yesterday, today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). He is the real Jesus.
Speakers include: George Grant, Ted Baehr, Stephen Mansfield, Raymond Ortlund, Phil Kayser, David Lutzweiler, Jay Grimstead, J.P. Holding, and Eric Holmberg.
Ten parts, over two hours of instruction!

Dr. Francis Schaeffer - How Should We Then Live? (DVD)
Special Two-Disc Set!
After 40 years of intense study and world-wide ministry, Dr. Francis Schaeffer completed his crowning work of scholarship – to present profound truths in simple film language. Dr. Schaeffer's brilliant analysis of the past and predictions for current trends have proven so uncannily accurate that this amazing series still feels contemporary almost three decades after its initial release. Ultimately, Schaeffer concludes that man's only hope is a return to God's Biblical absolute, the truth revealed in Christ through the Scriptures.
Available for the first time on DVD, this documentary spectacular also includes intimate in-depth conversations with Francis and Edith Schaeffer. With the on-disc study guide, this presentation forms a unique course of comprehensive study. While this series forms an innovative analysis of the past, this outstanding work is more than history. Each episode focuses on a significant era, yet speaks clearly to 21st-century man with answers for modern problems.

Massacre of Innocence (DVD)
Exposing The Occult Roots of Abortion
This presentation looks at the spiritual roots of abortion and exposes the myths surrounding child killing. Little known historical facts about abortion and how they relate to modern feminism are presented logically and accurately. Has been effective in converting many to a pro-life position.
Massacre of Innocence goes where no pro-life presentation has gone before in "tearing the lid off abortion" to reveal the spiritual realities we must battle if we will bring an end to this crime. The presentation is absorbing, fast-paced, informative and incredibly devastating to any attempt to justify abortion.
"… an extraordinary statement … a powerfully articulate presentation about what abortion really means, and why a great and moral nation like the United States must not allow the slaughter to continue."
— Congressman Robert K. Dornan

37 year old woman | Los Angeles, CA, USA | Seeking men 25-35 within 50 miles
Like Obama, I'm not gifted at the "sound bite" but I have experienced enough to appreciate a good thing yet young enough to enjoy it.
Laughter and a genuine interest in getting to know people are mine! Music not only inspires me but when my song comes on, I cannot help it...I am compelled to move. I most appreciate in life all of it's contradictions; i.e. clothing is extremely expendable yet the right outfit can provide confidence. To step away from distractions, I like to hike or run outdoors while listening to Biggie or Tribe or Etta James and sitting outside, eating tapas (or anything on a breakfast menu), soaking up the sun is my idea of a perfect Sunday afternoon. My varied interests and types of friends, I think are a reflection of the fact that I grew up in the Oakland Hills - Berkley area, attended college in Atlanta and then moved to NY to work in Fashion. Over the last 2 years I spent quite a bit of time working in London so I can fake a mean Madonna-esque Brit accent (especially after a glass of Riesling). An intelligent, God-fearing man with a strong sense of self who wants to see a woman smile are traits I am most attracted to. And while I do enjoy being cooked for, I equally take pleasure in cooking for my man, so the ability to BE taken care of is also a "must".

The 1989 Malvasia needs coaxing to eke out the aromas, but they soon muster courage and offer attractive scents of melted candle wax, quince, walnut oil and tangy marmalade. The palate is well-balanced with very crisp acidity that cuts through this Madeira with ease. There are delightful hazelnut and dried honey notes towards the finish, which shows more composure than the 1990 Malvasia. This is well-worth seeking out.
Having spent 22 years in cask, this beautiful Malvasia was recently bottled and currently shows every bit of that tense interplay between sweetness and acidity, oxidative woody tones and bright freshness, which makes Madeira so great. Vintage Madeira is indeed great stuff, and the best part is that this wine loves air: know that you can keep a bottle of Madeira open for months, even several years, without any degradation in flavor. This makes these wines great values and highly collectible. (Joe Manekin, K&L Spanish & Portuguese Wine Buyer)

Capone believes Arnold Schwarzenegger strikes the perfect balance of acting his age and kicking all types of ass with THE LAST STAND!!!
Published at: Jan. 18, 2013, 2:07 a.m. CST by
Hey everyone.
in Chicago here.
Rather than talk about talking about THE LAST STAND as Arnold Schwarzenegger's full-fledged return to starring roles in films (excluding his supporting/cameo roles in the EXPENDABLES movies), I'm going to try to attempt to review this as just a new action film. Having Schwarzenegger in it doesn't automatically make the movie better, especially since very little about THE LAST STAND reminds me of his older action work. His Sheriff Ray Owens is an old man (he admits as much) who moved from Los Angeles to Sommerton Junction, Arizona to get away from the death-defying violence of the big city. Unlike many of Arnold's other characters, he'd rather not get involved in any fire fights, fist fights, or car chases. He wants the worst thing he deals with in his week to be throwing drunks in the tank for a weekend.
Turns out Sheriff Owens used to lead an elite task force of the LAPD, but after a bust went bad and all of his team was killed or crippled in the process, he departed in a hurry. In the 24 hours or so that this movie takes place, most of the townsfolk are heading out of town to attend a football game, leaving Owens and his three deputies alone to mind the fort. Although the film isn't big on character development, it is nice to see Arnold kick back for the first chapter of THE LAST STAND so we can get to know his demeanor, routines, and priorities as a lawman.
But it doesn't take long for him to get a call from FBI Agent John Bannister (Forest Whitaker) that escaped federal prisoner and noted Mexican drug kingpin Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega) is heading for his bordertown in a Corvette that goes 200 mph. An advance team of baddies (led by the always insane Peter Stormare has already gone through to build makeshift bridge over a deep ravine at the border where Cortez will cross, so this is his only possible route. After the FBI fails to get a SWAT team to take out Cortez in his car (he has kidnapped an agent, played by Genesis Rodriguez, and is driving with her), it's up to the good sheriff and his deputies, including ones played by Luis Guzmán and THOR's Jaimie Alexander.
Equally important as THE LAST STAND being Schwarzenegger's big return to leading-man status, the movies is also the English-language debut of the great South Korean director Jee-woon Kim (A TALE OF TWO SISTERS; THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE WEIRD; I SAW THE DEVIL), who isn't actually known for action set pieces quite like the ones here. The film does not skimp on the blood and guts; when someone gets shot in the head, there's a big hole and lots of red spray. The hand-to-hand fights are just as brutal, especially the climactic showdown between Owens and Cortez on the aforementioned bridge. Kim keeps things rolling at an impressive pace, but also is good at giving us a few minutes to catch our breath between the shooting and other forms of destruction.
I know many action filmmakers believe a film this serious needs some comic relief, but I was in a great deal of pain every time Johnny Knoxville showed his face on screen, and I saw that as someone that tends to like him more often than not. He's just a dumb dude, who also happens to be the town gun nut. He's more a plot device than a character, and the fact that he has amassed a huge arsenal of weapons that our heroes can use to defend the town and try to stop Cortez from passing through is the only reason the character exists. Along with the town drunk and former soldier, played by Rodrigo Santoro, Knoxville is deputized during the siege and add virtually nothing to the movie.
No, the dialogue isn't that great, and far too many of the characters (including every FBI agent) is incompetent or stupid, but THE LAST STAND has quite a few excellent action sequences, some beautifully shot moments (courtesy of South Korean cinematographer Ji-yong Kim), and a solid lead performance by Schwarzenegger that keeps his one-liners to a minimum and his eye on the action. I was especially impressed visually with a car chance sequence in a corn field; the way it's handled is actually borderline inspiring. The film has its flaws and shortcomings, but I like that Arnold is beginning his true comeback playing someone who begins the film so dialed back--even if he does ramp up quickly. THE LAST STAND is a great deal of truly violent, R-rated fun, and it doesn't need to be anything more.

Sculptura in Wauwautosa
People tend to view wrinkles and other skin issues as an inevitable fact of old age, without wondering why these things happen. Well, nothing in this world happens for no reason, and the deterioration of skin isn't an exception to that rule. It is caused, laregly, by reduced collagen levels, and as specialists in Wauwautosa know, it can also be reversed. One of the newer and more exciting ways to do this is with a product called Sculptra.
Sculptra is similar to other, older collagen injections- but many are deroved from cow tissue, and quickly deteriorate. Sculptra has been shown to be around for up to 5 years. It is made from a synthetic polymer, which some people aren't comfortable with, though. If you have questions about this product, or the injecting procedure, contact an expert in Wauwautosa at your leisure. The numbers are right above!

ABSTRACT: The feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) is a member of the feline coronavirus family that causes FIP, which is incurable and fatal in cats. Cyclosporin A (CsA), an immunosuppressive agent that targets the nuclear factor pathway of activated T-cells (NF-AT) to bind cellular cyclophilins (CyP), dose-dependently inhibited FIPV replication in vitro. FK506 (an immunosuppressor of the pathway that binds cellular FK506-binding protein (FKBP) but not CyP) did not affect FIPV replication. Neither cell growth nor viability changed in the presence of either CsA or FK506, and these factors did not affect the NF-AT pathway in fcwf-4 cells. Therefore, CsA does not seem to exert inhibitory effects via the NF-AT pathway. In conclusion, CsA inhibited FIPV replication in vitro and further studies are needed to verify the practical value of CsA as an anti-FIPV treatment in vivo.Veterinary Research 04/2012; 43(1):41.

Total Time:
Level: Easy
Yield: 4 servings
Serves: 4
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
- 1 lb. fingerling potatoes or baby Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 16 fresh sage leaves
- 0.50 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 can reduced-sodium beef broth
- 1 tbsp. grainy Dijon mustard
- 2 boneless rib eye steaks
- 1 tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1 large shallot
- 2 tbsp. chopped parsley
- 0.50 tsp. lemon juice
- 0.50 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Toss potatoes with 1/2 tablespoon of the oil, sage leaves, and salt in a shallow roasting pan. Roast 22 to 25 minutes, tossing occasionally, until crisp and golden.
- Meanwhile, boil beef broth in a small saucepan 10 to 12 minutes, until broth is reduced to 1/2 cup. Stir in Dijon mustard; reserve.
- Trim steaks, removing large pieces of fat and any gristle. Cut each steak in half. Flatten between plastic wrap to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Rub steak with soy sauce and 1/2 tablespoon of the oil.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat; add butter, swirling pan to coat. Add 2 pieces of steak; sear 1 minute per side for medium rare. Remove to a platter; loosely cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining 2 pieces of steak; add to platter.
- Add shallot to drippings in skillet and sauté 30 seconds. Pour in reserved broth mixture, parsley, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Return steaks to skillet just to coat in sauce. Serve immediately with roasted potatoes, spooning sauce over steaks.

It's actually the final sentence of the Samizdata quote of the day:
Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.
It's Edward Snowden, in one of those unwieldy comment thready things that I never read.
Guy Herbert doesn't add what comes next, which is also good:
A free press benefits more than just those who read the paper.
Very true.
Here is a picture of Edward Snowden, that I took in June of last year ...:
... in Battersea, right across the road from where the big new US Embassy is being constructed. (Pictures of that, as recently was and as soon will be, here.)
So, I googled aircraft coming in to land over closed civilian roads, and to my surprise I came across another use for a drone:
This one looks like it might be spraying stuff on the crop below. Obvious, I know, but I am collecting these things. The drone is yet another gadget that the banning classes would love to ban, but it's just too useful.
But you can see how this will mean a whole new sort of newsworthy accident. Or, even better, of newsworthy malevolence.
Police in India have a new weapon for controlling unruly protesters in the world's largest democracy: pepper-spraying drones.
Yashasvi Yadav, police chief of the northern city of Lucknow, said on Tuesday that his officers have successfully test-flown the newly purchased drones with a view to better crowd control.
So, when will BrianMicklethwaitDotCom be linking to a story about how the protesters have their own drones, to attack the police drones with? Drones are not just the automation of aerial warfare. They are the potential degovernmentalisation of aerial warfare. I mean, how the hell will they stop this? Drones are ridiculously cheap compared to regular airplanes. It's only a matter of time before no major political demonstratiion will be complete without a struggle for command of the air.
I wonder if people like Police Chief Yadav realise what they may be starting.
This is cool, says Instapundit, and he's not wrong:
For all his joie de vivre, Jardine is a master drone builder and pilot whose skills have produced remarkable footage for shows like Australian Top Gear, the BBC's Into the Volcano, and a range of music videos. His company Aerobot sells camera-outfitted drones, including custom jobs that require unique specifications like, say, the capacity to lift an IMAX camera. From a sprawling patch of coastline real estate in Queensland, Australia, Jardine builds, tests, and tweaks his creations; the rural tranquility is conducive to a process that may occasionally lead to unidentified falling objects.
Simply put, if you've got a drone flying challenge, Jardine is your first call.
So, Mr Jardine is now flying his flying robots over volcanoes. There are going to be lots of calls to have these things entirely banned, but they are just too useful for that to happen.
When I was a kid and making airplanes out of balsa wood and paper, powered with rubber band propellers, I remember thinking that such toys were potentially a lot more than mere toys. I'm actually surprised at how long it has taken for this to be proved right.
What were the recent developments that made useful drones like Jardine's possible? It is down to the power-to-weight ratio of the latest mini-engines? I tried googling "why drones work", but all I got was arguments saying that it's good to use drones to kill America's enemies, not why they are now usable for such missions.
It often happens with me that, while rootling around in the archives for one picture, I stumble across another which strikes me as worth showing to the massed ranks of BrianMicklethwaitDotCom's readers.
Pictures like this, for instance, which I took at the top of the Monument, in November 2012:
Small, blurry, totally recognisable. Definitely a Big Thing.
As for all that wire netting (which I believe dramatically lowers the cheese content of the above shot), well, here is another shot, of how matters at the top of the Monument used to be not so long ago:
I took that in July 2007. (Note the pleasingly dated camera.) The change from prison bars to wire netting, which happened soon after that, was presumably because of different versions of health and safety. Originally there was neither, just some waste high railings. See this hand-done photo "by Canalleto (after)", whatever that means. (His production line, but not him, maybe?) And see also this picture.
Lexington Green, here:
What if … ?
What would a history of the British Empire look like if it did not use the "rise and fall" metaphor?
What would that history look like if it examined not just the political framework or just the superficial gilt and glitter, or just the cruelty and crimes, but the deeper and more enduring substance?
What if someone wrote a history of the impact of the English speaking people and their institutions (political, financial, professional, commercial, military, technical, scientific, cultural), and the infinitely complex web of interconnections between them, as a continuous and unbroken story, with a past a present … and a future?
In other words, what if we were to read a history that did not see a rising British Empire followed by a falling Empire, then a rising American Empire which displaced it, but an organism which has taken on many forms over many centuries, and on many continents, but is nonetheless a single life?
What if we assume that the British Empire was not something that ended, but that the Anglosphere, of which the Empire was one expression, is something that has never stopped growing and evolving, and taking on new institutional forms?
What if it looked at the unremitting advance, the pitiless onslaught, universal insinuation, of the English speakers on the rest of the world, seizing big chunks of it (North America, Australia), sloshing up into many parts of it and receding again (India, Nigeria, Malaya), carving permanent marks in the cultural landscape they left behind, all the while getting wealthier and more powerful and pushing the frontiers of science and technology and all the other forms of material progress?
What if jet travel and the Internet have at last conquered the tyranny of distance which the Empire Federationists of a century ago dreamed that steam and telegraph cables would conquer? What if they were just a century too early?
What if linguistic and cultural commonalities are more important than mere geographical location in creating political unity in this newly shrunken world?
I recall musing along the same kind of lines myself, a while back.
The important thing is, this mustn't be advertised first as a plan. If that happens, then all the people who are against the Anglosphere, and who prefer places like Spain and Venezuela and Cuba and Hell, will use their ownership of the Mainstream Media to Put A Stop to the plan. What needs to happen is for us to just do it, and then after about two decades of us having just done it, they'll realise that it is a fate (as the Hellists will describe it) accompli.
Because, guess what, we probably are already doing it.
When it comes to Micklethwait's Laws, the best one undoubtedly is and will always be Micklethwait's Law of Negotiated Misery.
But there is also a Micklethwait's Law of Shelves. On the face of it, Micklethwait's Law of Shelves is not that fundamental, but, writing about it now, I do think it explains quite a lot about the world, and about why there is so much stuff in the world, clogging it up. It is a law that, unlike with (so far as I am aware) Micklethwait's Law of Negotiated Misery, many others have discovered the truth of, even if I've not been able to find it spelt out in so many words on the www. Micklethwait's (or Whoever's) Law of Shelves states that …:
… there is always room for more shelves.
That's my bedroom. Imagine what the rest of my place is like.
When it's finished, it will look, according to the picture on the outside of the site (which is an outdoor hard copy of the first picture here), like this:
Here is what it and its surroundings will look like from above. My home can be found in that picture, this Thing being only a short walk away from it.
But, as of now, in contrast to the above simulations, it looks like this, which I think I somewhat prefer (what with all that lovely scaffolding):
Hang on. Is that a Christmas tree I see up there (in among all that lovely scaffolding)? Yes it is:
After I started taking photos of this Thing Under Construction, together with its Christmas tree, one of the men doing the constructing made "stop doing that" gestures. I was standing on a public pavement. They were building a small skyscraper with a Christmas tree on the side of it. Did they think they could keep this secret, and impose martial law for a quarter of a mile around all this? I just laughed out loud and carried on, and of course they did nothing about it.
