Celebrating a Florida Christmas with Sweet Green Smoothies and Maple-Candied Bacon
I am spending the holiday weekend in Orlando, Florida, hanging out at my brother and sister-in-law's cozy little apartment. My parents drove down from Wisconsin and I flew down from Minnesota, and the warm Florida sunshine is a welcome departure from the wildly snowy, grey weather up north. The weather in Florida has been marvelous, perfect for sitting outside playing cribbage and telling stories, going on walks, and simply enjoying the sunshine. I forgot that there are many parts of the world where things remain colorful, sunny, and green all year round, and this has reminded me that I need to get away to warm places more often during the cold Minnesota winters. I don't even want to think about the snow back home, and I'm sure my parents don't either. I mean really, when this snowy mess (otherwise known as my parents' house) is what the northern Midwest has to offer right now, why wouldn't we want to see all this beautiful color that Florida has to offer?
Of course, since this is a food blog, I have to talk about what we have eaten thus far. We have eaten lots of great food together so far. My mom brought down their Vitamix, so we have been able to make lots of delicious green smoothies. The warmer temperatures left me craving fruit and raw foods, which is an unusual departure from my normal winter desires for warm stews, meatloaf, and starch! So, the smoothies were a welcome addition. In addition to smoothies, I have made lots of other things, like roasted butternut squash, seared Brussels sprouts with apples, chickpea and celery spread, roasted cauliflower and broccoli, and a wonderful clean-out-the-fridge leftover soup. I made awesome red curry with chicken, squid, and fresh vegetables, served with quinoa (I will share that recipe soon!). And my dad made grilled salmon and grilled mahi mahi that brought us to our knees.
Since the holiday always makes me want to bake, I did spend plenty of time whipping up sweet treats to satisfy the cookie craving. I made raw "trail mix" truffles, a nice mixture of a Larabar, dried apple juice-sweetened cranberries, homemade trail mix, and coconut oil. We ate those on Christmas Eve instead of cookies, and they absolutely satisfied everyone's taste buds. Later on, I dug through the pantries and my mom's snack box, and managed to throw together a really delicious breakfast scone/biscuit/cookie thing, made from freshly ground rice flour, oatmeal, apple sauce, finely shredded carrot, among other things. Everyone loved it, and I'm going to refine that recipe and share it in my next recipe collection.
But the real star of the kitchen thus far has undeniably been the maple-candied bacon we ate on Christmas morning, accompanied by green smoothies.

I have tried goo gone, simple green, acrysol (paint prep solvent), and a couple other things with no success. Anyone have any ideas on how to clean it off without damaging the paint or clear coat? It's a white painted Santa Cruz frame. I wouldn't care about such things but I am selling the bike.

It's a strange irony of life: many people spend months, even years, searching for their perfect boat and then sign the first loan document that the broker puts under their nose. Often boat finance contracts are entered with the borrower having little or no appreciation of the long term commitments that they entail. Charter and pleasure boat finance specialist, Mark O'Donoghue of Finlease, says that getting the right loan at the time of purchase is essential and he explained that it's not that hard to do.
Sydney International Boat Show 2007
O'Donoghue said that boaties need to ask themselves the following questions before signing on the dotted line. Do I understand the structure of this loan and my repayment commitments and are there any early termination costs? What is the interest rate and is the loan secured by just the boat? How long do I intend to keep this vessel and what am I going to use it for? And what are the likely tax & GST ramifications, if any, of this lending arrangement and purchase?
If these enquiries sound like a headache, and if you just can't stop staring at the polished teak and sweeping lines of your intended purchase, you may like to give Finlease a call. It's their job to understand all this and much, much more.
Once you contact Finlease and tell them your requirements, they will search out the best boat loan for your particular circumstances from over 20 finance providers. Then it's up to you whether you choose to go ahead with it or not. And the best news is that if you decide not to go ahead, there is no charge.
O'Donoghue explained that Finlease is 'happy to do the work because we know that in the vast majority of cases it (the loan) is taken up.'
O'Donoghue started Finlease back in 1989. Like many other people at the time, he had become increasingly dismayed by the arrogance some mainstream lenders had displayed towards their customers. He told himself that there was a much better way to do business. He saw a gap in the market and he took it, starting Finlease with just himself and an assistant, and specialising in providing equipment and machinery finance to manufacturing companies.
He set out to build a business which offered finance at low interest rates and tax effective loan structures with minimal conditions. Determined not to follow the lead of the banks, he was committed to providing his clients with a high level of service, which is something that remains vital to his company today.
The combination of good customer service and effective finance products paid off. In its first year of trading Finlease turned over $7 million of equipment finance. The company contined to grow and this year is expected to turnover in excess of $300 million in equipment and property finance, with a client base of 4000 companies and offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. As O'Donoghue puts it:
'We finance everything from carpet tiles to helicopters.'
Finlease moved into the boat finance business in the early 1990s and it's now about 15% of their annual turnover. O'Donoghue explained that the move into this area happened as Australia was emerging from severely recessed economic conditions. A number of battle scarred manufacturing clients, after organising finance for things like their car fleet or manufacturing equipment, would look up at the end of the meeting with a sparkle in their eye and say 'I've found this great boat…'
Grand Banks Eastbay 49HX
It wasn't just one manufacturing client looking for boat finance, it turned out to be a flood of them. Pretty soon Finlease moved from just organising pleasure boat finance to financing company boats and charter boats. O'Donoghue said that it didn't take much intelligence to realise that if some of his best commercial clients were coming to him with boat finance issues, then the reverse was also likely to be true.
'We thought that there would be some very, very good commercial clients out there for us who we may make initial contact with through the boat finance area.'
Years passed and Finlease built networks in the marine industry, securing a reputation as experts in the boat finance field ('if you do something well you should actually develop expertise in it') and gaining an increasing share of the market.
But in August 2002 something happened that sent shockwaves through the entire marine industry. The Tax Office released a statement that indicated they would be looking very carefully at the tax declarations of people who were involved in the charter boat industry, either as owners or operators. O'Donoghue said the very clear message that the ATO were sending was:
'We think that there are a lot of people doing things that they shouldn't do from a tax point of view.'
Realising that this view represented a real threat to the marine industry, O'Donoghue co-ordinated a campaign to lobby against the proposed changes. Named CBISC (like a shortened version of Sea biscuit) or Charter Boat Industry Survival Campaign, the group included some of the biggest names in the business. Seawind was a key player, as were Lightwave, Jeanneau, Bavaria, Sydney Yachts, Beneteau and the vast majority of charter industry companies.
O'Donoghue stepped into the role of campaign co-ordinator and found himself effectively forced to disengage from his own business for the duration.
'Naively I thought it would take about three months but it actually took 18 months. In that process I delved incredibly deeply into all aspects including significant high level meetings with the ATO, with our representatives at the time which were Ernst & Young. We spent over $300000, raised from industry, to go in there and look at changes in the legislation or at least the ATO's view about this industry.'
CBISC's lobbying was effective and in May 2003 the ATO issued a revised ruling which clarified the taxation guidelines for charter boat owners and operators. Further lobbying activity, primarily by the Whitsunday Charter Boat Operators, culminated in an additional change of legislation which was introduced in July 2007. This further underpinned the 2003 ruling and now provides even further certainty to people involved in charters.
Maritimo 60 off the Gold Coast
'I suppose in that particular 18 month period where there was a real threat to industry, it substantially increased my skill set or my understanding of the charter boat side. So we do have an expertise in charter boat finance. Part of it came from the fact that we are experts in finance but part of it came from me living and breathing this thing for 18 months.'
In the coming months O'Donoghue will outline popular boat finance products for anyone considering taking a loan for a pleasure, company or charter boat. In the meantime, Finlease has some excellent boat finance resources on their website, including calculators, spreadsheets, application forms and fact sheets.

Designing Microelectromechanical Systems
The previous two chapters discussed the materials and fabrication techniques required for the production of MEMS. This chapter focuses on building an information and manufacturing infrastructure that will spur the development of MEMS, specifically metrology, modeling, CAD systems, and foundry facilities.
Metrology is an area that is just being established in MEMS. The IC industry has been well supported by an extensive, constantly expanding understanding of the behavior of silicon and related materials as they are scaled down. No comparable resource exists for MEMS, however. Many areas of research are required to understand the nature and properties of materials used in MEMS. For example, an extensive knowledge-base exists of the electrical properties of polysilicon thin-films, but knowledge about their micromechanical properties is limited as is detailed knowledge of the long-term reliability of mechanically stressed polysilicon or the surface mechanics related to friction, wear, corrosion, and stress-related failure. There is a similar lack of fundamental understanding about other thin-film materials borrowed from the electrical domain and now exercised mechanically (e.g., silicon nitride, silicon dioxide, and thin-film metals). The properties (e.g., strength and surface chemistry) of materials configured at the small scales of MEMS can influence the behavior of the devices of which they are integral parts, and material behavior crosses the boundary from volume or bulk effects to surface-driven effects. For example, frictional effects, in contrast to inertial effects, take on overwhelming importance in small mechanical systems.1 As MEMS enable the creation of fluid systems with smaller and smaller flow (signal) levels, understanding the nature of fluids in micrometer-sized channels and cavities becomes crucial. In general, a thorough understanding is needed of the mechanical properties of the materials to be used in MEMS at appropriate scales. Studies of the size effects associated
with physical elements that approach the size of one-to-several grains would be useful.
Measurements of MEMS mechanical elements are a challenge to the metrology equipment currently available. For example, optical measurement systems require trade-offs between feature size and depth of focus, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) measurement systems have limited working distances and also difficulty measuring nonconducting materials. It is often desirable in MEMS to measure physical dimensions (e.g., thickness and lateral extent) and other parameters (e.g., bow, warp, or surface roughness) simultaneously. There are also cases where the parameters are not directly visible. In these cases, the characterization of MEMS has been aided by high-resolution, time-resolved, visual inspection capabilities, such as the x-ray imaging system developed at the SRI Sarnoff Laboratories. This system makes the flow through chambers and valves in microfluidic systems visible (Lanzillotto et al., 1996) and is an important tool for characterizing MEMS.
In addition to methods of testing materials and measuring structural tolerances, devices are also required that can determine the mechanical properties of MEMS devices, demonstrate mechanical-device repeatability and reliability, and facilitate quality-control practices. Package-level testing is currently the most common way to measure MEMS performance, but the development of in-process wafer-level testing is clearly necessary for low-cost manufacture. Wafer-level testing of MEMS presents special challenges that are often product dependent.
Generic test-structures that indicate basic mechanical properties of MEMS materials at the wafer-level can (and should) be developed and characterized. In the IC industry, parametric wafer-screening methods have been developed based on knowledge of the effects of process variations on the performance of electronic devices and systems. Similar methods should be developed to support the growth of MEMS. Agreement will have to be reached on (1) the structures to monitor the mechanical and materials properties that are most critical to micromechanical performance and (2) the methods of testing and characterizing them.
Methods of testing and characterizing MEMS should be standardized. The development of standards, like the standards in the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) or Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE), is necessary to support commercialization and foundry technologies. An effective fabrication facility needs to be able to provide a valid assessment of the characteristics and behavior of materials and processes that potential customers can use as a basis for comparing facilities. The same parameters can be used to facilitate reasonable modeling and simulation of designs prior to fabrication. The ability to deposit, characterize, and test a material or device must not depend on the skill or equipment of a single organization.
A particular challenge for MEMS is the establishment of a self-contained, complete, and integrated modeling and simulation suite appropriate to its computational analysis requirements. Most MEMS analyses to date have required numerical techniques based on methods using discrete data. Commercial mechanical-engineering and finite-element analysis (FEA) software has proven useful for modeling a variety of parameters (e.g., displacement, stress, electric field, magnetic field, temperature, and fluid velocity) under a wide variety of conditions. For example, FEA-based modal analysis has often been used to model the mechanical-vibration modes of structures.
MEMS-specific tools will be required, however, and these tools will have to be integrated into an environment where complete structural, as well as operational, analysis can be performed. Academic research systems (e.g., MEMCAD [Senturia et al., 1992] and CAEMEMS [Crary, Juma, and Zhang, 1991]) and small-business spin-offs from academe (e.g., IntelliSense and Microcosim)-many of which are supported by general and newly CAD-focused programs at DARPA-have begun to address the need for an easy-to-use interface between modeler and numerical tools. But much remains to be done.
The need for numerical tools that deal efficiently with cross-energy domain modeling is also beginning to be addressed (e.g., Wachutka, 1995). Commercial tools are coming to market that can treat some problems involving the coupled solutions of displacement, stress, electrostatic, and temperature fields (IntelliSense). But these tools are in early development. Accurate predictions of the energy dissipation and mechanical quality factors of MEMS structures are still elusive and also require further research.
MEMS devices have not yet been designed using CAD and computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools directly, in contrast to the more mature IC devices (Antonsson, 1996). Computer tools familiar in the IC-design world, such as schematic capture, schematic-to-layout generation, automatic routing, and design verification, need to be developed for MEMS. There is also a need for software tools designed for different tasks (e.g., layout, solid modeling, discretization, numerical computation, and visualization) that can function synergistically under a consistent user interface. Newer software techniques, such as object-oriented methods, will make it easier for solutions developed in one domain to be adopted in several others. For MEMS to flourish, computer descriptions will be needed for geometric, kinematic, and field views, as well as for layout and function. Other desirable features of an evolving system for CAD/CAE for MEMS include efficient interactive operation; modularity; flexibility to allow for changes; reliability; accuracy control, including error propagation from material-property and geometric uncertainties; and methods for discretization and for estimating numerical errors. Designers will eventually need to be able to determine such information as the cost of manufacture or the expected time to failure. A MEMS compiler that can start from a user specification and produce masking and processing information as outputs also needs to be developed.
Existing commercial CAD frameworks can provide a starting point for a MEMS CAD system (Broenink, Bekkink, and Breedveld, 1992; Gilbert et al., 1993; Beerschwinger et al., 1994; Senturia, 1995), but the great diversity of MEMS devices and implementations means that libraries of parameterized MEMS devices will be very large. Systems will have to be able to manipulate and gain access to very large data banks of hundreds of types of devices, with tens to hundreds of parameters each. Thus, an efficient means of library generation, organization, and accessibility is essential. Detailed process and materials information to model and simulate MEMS devices and systems accurately are also required. Unfortunately, material parameters change from fabrication facility to fabrication facility, so the CAD package will have to keep track of where the devices are to be made.
To assure industry and government users that they will be able to manufacture future MEMS products at competitive rates, the United States will have to develop a MEMS foundry-technology base similar to the base that supports the IC markets. Several elements of the infrastructure will have to be developed concurrently to create this technology base, the most important being the CAD infrastructure, which is the backbone of the foundry interface. A processing base must be developed so that foundries will be able to provide "technology files" to prospective users. These files must adequately describe the foundry technologies in terms of layout rules, modeling and simulation parameters, and behavioral characteristics (e.g., materials parameters). Qualified data regarding behavioral characteristics need to be made available to the user, who can then independently develop a system and
submit only a design-language file to the foundry. Ultimately, a compendium of data similar to the database available for ICs (Beadle, Tsai, and Plummer, 1985) will be necessary for MEMS. An important role for foundries will be to assist in the systematic development of computer-aided processing models, which could be integrated with CAD models and would aid in determining the interrelationships among requirements and in-process inspection parameters.
Many industries have also been strengthened by adopting flexible manufacturing, which are fabrication processes for which adding or removing individual process steps is an easy design option. The underlying reason for this trend is economic because the ability to adjust to changing market conditions and customer requirements in real time is often the key to success. Flexible manufacturing principles may also be valuable to the MEMS industry, especially in cases of relatively low volumes and numbers of specialty processes.
Whereas variations in IC devices and performance can often be made through changes in layout, the physical and mechanical natures of MEMS will also require that variability in processes be available to produce families of devices. In contrast to IC manufacturing, MEMS production can be expected to be in relatively small lots, at least initially. Economies of scale can more easily be achieved if common processes are standard to a facility or foundry, and process steps unique to each design can be efficiently added or omitted. In the flexible manufacturing environment, it should be possible to include higher-capability steps and advanced materials when and where they are needed.
The advancement of flexible manufacturing for MEMS foundries presents formidable challenges. Meeting them successfully will strongly affect the commercialization of MEMS designs. One area that will particularly benefit from flexible manufacturing is higher force and displacement actuation. In many cases, achieving higher forces and displacements in MEMS requires using materials not used in the conventional IC industry (see Chapter 3). Using these materials in commercial systems will require the introduction of appropriate processing methods, and incorporating these methods into flexible manufacturing foundries would be a significant advance for MEMS.
Work on developing a foundry infrastructure includes the DARPA-supported MEMS Infrastructure programs at MCNC, Analog Devices, and Sandia and the custom prototyping and manufacturing capabilities at organizations such as IC Sensors, NovaSensor, Silicon Microstructures, and others.
The establishment of standard processes and foundries for MEMS depends on a complex set of issues but is essential in the near future to support the growth of MEMS from the prototype and low-volume commercial level to the volume-driven, low-cost commercial regime. Several standard process MEMS foundries need to be available to enable companies with no wafer-processing capabilities to enter the field. MEMS applications exist for consumer, automotive, aerospace, and medical products so access to foundries will be essential. Custom, flexible fabrication facilities must also be available, however, for users who require access and manipulation of the process to produce and optimize their products. In the IC industry, these facilities have been best organized at universities and national laboratories, where not-for-profit development is more acceptable.
Rapid development in the IC industry has been aided by the establishment of a foundry infrastructure that ensures that industry and government users will be able to manufacture IC products at competitive rates and enables companies that do not have wafer-processing capabilities to enter the field. One of the key factors in the development of the IC foundry infrastructure was the development of a CAD infrastructure that became the backbone of the foundry interface. Design methods were implemented that allowed IC designers to develop systems independently and then have them manufactured by submitting only a design-language file. The MEMS field is more complicated because of the broad range of electrical and mechanical applications, including consumer, automotive, aerospace, and medical products. Thus, several standard process MEMS foundries would have to be available and accessible, as well as custom, flexible fabrication facilities for users who require access to and manipulation of the process to produce and optimize their products.
The development of the MEMS field will be greatly aided by the development of an extensive information infrastructure that includes the adoption of a generally accepted set of standards and metrics, the establishment of advanced modeling and computer-design tools, and the establishment of foundries that can support the most promising generic MEMS processes.
The committee recognizes that realizing MEMS foundries may be difficult because many commercial companies have difficulty seeing "what's in it for them." Besides the danger of compromising proprietary know-how, companies offering a foundry service will have to commit to specific processes and reasonable turnaround schedules. In the instances where small industries have tried to accommodate MEMS foundry runs so far, the results have not been warmly appreciated. A more feasible road to at least moderate success at the present juncture appears to be using academic and government laboratories to provide foundry services. The recent expansion of the National Nanofabrication Laboratory to sites at several universities and the capabilities of national laboratories, like Sandia and Livermore, may provide opportunities for MEMS foundries of a different nature, where direct hands-on work can be done by the MEMS researcher. This kind of operation could not be as widely extended as the more traditional
foundry approach of MCNC, which interacts with users only through exchanges of software, but it may provide an interim avenue until specific areas in the MEMS field are further developed.
Conclusion. Establishing standard CAD and foundry infrastructure for MEMS is essential in the near future to support the growth of MEMS from the prototype and low-volume commercial level to the volume-driven, low-cost commercial level. The development of a MEMS foundry-technology base, similar to the base that supports ICs, would assure users that MEMS products can be manufactured at competitive rates and would enable small companies and research organizations to enter the field.
Recommendation. A MEMS CAD-infrastructure that extends from processing and basic modeling to full system design capabilities should be established. A process technology infrastructure (e.g., electrical, mechanical, fluid, chemical, etc. and their integration to form complete systems) that is widely available to MEMS designers and product engineers should be developed.

Michael Steele, yesterday after winning the post of RNC chairman:
"We have an image problem," Steele said. "We've been misidentified as party that is insensitive, a party unconcerned about the lives of minorities. I'm saying enough's enough, that day is over."
Washington Post, November 13, 2006
The six Trailways motorcoaches draped in Ehrlich and Steele campaign banners rumbled down Interstate 95 just before dawn on Election Day.
On board, 300 mostly poor African Americans from Philadelphia ate doughnuts, sipped coffee and prepared to spend the day at the Maryland polls. After an early morning greeting from Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.'s wife, Kendel, they would fan out in white vans across Prince George's County and inner-city Baltimore, armed with thousands of fliers that appeared to be designed to trick black Democrats into voting for the two Republican candidates.
The glossy fliers bore photos of black Democratic leaders on the front. Under the headline "Democratic Sample Ballot" were boxes checked in red for Ehrlich and Senate candidate Michael S. Steele, who were not identified as Republicans. Their names were followed by a long list of local Democratic candidates.
Nearly a week later, a fuller picture has emerged about how the plan to capture blacks' votes unfolded — details that suggest the fliers, and the people paid to distribute them, were not part of a hurry-up effort but a calculated strategy.
Republican leaders have defended the Election Day episode as an accepted element of bare-knuckle politics. But for many voters, it shattered in one day the nice-guy images Ehrlich and Steele had cultivated for years.

I have been closely following the events in the Addison Northeast Supervisory Union — the failed budgets of some of our schools as well as the issues that have arisen around the leadership of Superintendent David Adams.

As a Vermont resident and a senior citizen, I am very concerned with the direction in which Gov. Shumlin is taking Vermont. After reading an article in the Addison Independent detailing his RESET (a complicated far-reaching energy program) objectives, I was appalled to learn that the House passed this legislation.
What is the mystery with the Bristol school budgets?
Both Bristol school budgets were voted down twice. The second time had the same budget amounts as the first time. The school boards are having trouble understanding why the second time failed. Hopefully for the next budget re-vote, the proposed budgets will be significantly lower.
Closing schools and getting rid of school boards. Make no mistake about it, the goal of H.361, passed by the Vermont House and now being considered by the Senate, is about closing elementary schools and getting rid of elementary school boards; about reducing citizen and parent participation in the education of their children; about removing those pesky and annoying things, citizens and parents, from the bureaucrat's otherwise tranquil life; about giving over to the bureaucrats of the state more power, more control, more money.
Fund the Pathways program at Mount Abraham Union High School. Fully.
Recently I was made aware that the support staff positions in the Pathways program were going to be cut if the budget was passed. The budget has not been passed yet, so I am relieved, but not at ease. The termination of these positions would be doing an unimaginable disservice to the students at Pathways.
Last week, I spent $102 to get my car fixed. Or, more accurately, I spent $102 to replace two faulty tire-pressure sensors that had triggered an ominous-looking amber dashboard light. The light erroneously indicated that one or more of my tires was dangerously low.
My tires were fine.
Perhaps you are familiar with that warning light: It's a sort of horseshoe shape with the ends pointing up. It's ripply on the bottom, with an exclamation point in the middle, meaning "Hey, pay attention, this is super important!"
Get ready to say goodbye to Joni Mitchell.
The esteemed singer-songwriter was recently hospitalized after being found unconscious at her Southern California home. She is a survivor of childhood polio, 60 years of smoking, 50 years of fame (she called it "a glamorous misunderstanding") and Morgellon's syndrome.
Mitchell may not be long for this world. But she will leave behind a legacy of song that will outlast the century.
Your pullout section, "The Bird's Eye View," has articles that need a lot more research before printing.
I hope other students at Mount Abraham Union High School can fill in the gap.
One article was on gun control and it seems the only research done for it was borrowing only from the NRA.
We all know that the NRA is in the business of helping sell guns and is not concerned about deaths caused by them.
Unfortunately, lots of people of different ethnicities in our state of Vermont are racially profiled at least once in their life, creating horrible memories.
I am writing in response to Rustan Swenson's letter in the April 13 edition, "PSB has licensed the desecration of Green Mountains." Mr. Swenson sounds off on what he sees as the destruction of the Green Mountains and of Vermont's landscape, blaming it on the PSB's granting of solar installations, fracked gas pipelines, and presumably industrial wind towers on ridgelines (though wind by name is never mentioned) mainly by out-of-state or foreign corporations in the name of renewable energy.

He was totally comfortable in his hat at his peered out across the street, looking uptown. I do like the perspective from this corner.
In the southwest corner of Union Square Park, near the purple plants, can be found the woman also in purple. She knows all the secrets... yours and those that are not yours. She will reveal them to you with the aid of a crystal ball. As she leans towards you, she will stare into your soul and reveal the details that you need to know the answers to. The purple reveals, the purple reveals.
It occurred to me that in all my years in New York City, I had never taken any pictures of the Flatiron Building located by Madison Square Park. I took a lunch time excursion and circled the building. It really is rather extraordinary. Wikipedia's description gives you all the details.
I went up to the Ed Sullivan Theater to look around before David Letterman's last show ever. There were a few fanatics hanging around, a lot of press, etc. These two guys attracted a lot of attention, as they had a speciall made tee shirt commemorating the event. It made special note that they were from Ohio. I heard a reporting talking to people online, and one respond to the question, "What should Dave do now?" His response was that he should start drinking. A humorous response, except I'm pretty sure that Mr. Letterman is an alcoholic and has not had a drink for many years. Wonder if it was funny enough to make air, or whether someone might have edited it out based on his personal issues.

B&b's Surf Spray does exactly what it says it does. It gives me wonderful beachy waves. I already have wavy hair that borders on curly...it will go into ringlets, kinks, and spirals if I wear it up after a shower, so getting my hair to keep the beachy look isn't too hard. The salt gives added volume and texture.
The two reasons I won't be repurchasing it: the price is ridiculous (to me, anyway), and the smell. It's just...nauseating/headache-inducing.

Market action in August has raised some questions about a slowing global economy for the second-half of the year, William Dudley said Friday.» Read More
The U.S. economy is on a 3 percent growth trajectory, but it's been "getting masked" by the wicked weather, Moody's Analytics Chief Economist Mark Zandi told CNBC.
Private companies created 175,000 new positions in January, lower than in expected but keeping with the pace of job creation over the past two years.
The U.S. services sector rebounded in January, with firms added workers at the fastest clip in more than three years.
Friday's debt ceiling resumption will not affect the "Aaa" credit rating of U.S. government debt, Moody's Investors Service said on Wednesday.
New orders for U.S. factory goods fell in December, but rose with the volatile transportation sector excluded from the data.
U.S. small businesses boosted borrowing in December, signaling that economic growth may continue apace in the early part of this year.
The "extraordinary measures" the Treasury uses to avoid the debt ceiling won't last as long as in previous debt ceiling crises, Jack Lew said.
The growth prospects for the US economy are better than the data show, says Harvard economist Martin Feldstein. Here's why.
U.S. manufacturing grew at a substantially slower pace in January as new orders plunged by the most in 33 years.
U.S. manufacturing grew less briskly in January after hitting an 11-month high the prior month as output slowed.
President Barack Obama met with the business executives to address how to get long-term unemployed Americans back to work. Experience may not help.
Though most American households are in a spending mood, consumers at the bottom end of the ladder are waiting to shop.
A closely-watched barometer of business conditions dipped in January, showing employment conditions declining as prices rose.
U.S. consumer sentiment dipped slightly in January, with recent economic improvement not translating to expectations for future gains, a survey released on Friday showed.
U.S. consumer spending rose more than expected in December, but weak income growth suggested the economy could cool off a bit.
As the economy shrugged off the effects of the government shutdown, economists said President Obama faced an uphill battle to burnish his legacy. The NYT reports.
The number of new claims for unemployment rose more than expected last week, as fourth quarter growth also fell short of expectations.
Signed contracts to buy existing homes dropped 8.7 percent in December as abnormally cold weather hit much of the US, according to a new report.
Applications for U.S. home mortgages edged slightly lower in the latest week, an industry group said on Wednesday.
This argument that the rich keep getting richer while the majority have hit a brick wall is full of holes, says Troy University's Daniel Smith.

Is it okay to wear burgundy oxford captoes for casual wear (chinos, dress shirt and a blazer) or that is big a no-no ?
Here is a photo: Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
I believe these are on the 026 last, which is a very nice shape. And they will take a good shine too, making them more suitable for trousers. But you will not be breaking any rules wearing them casually.
I recommend pairing them with mid-greys and charcoals.
There was a question of my own I wanted to ask.
I ordered some charcoal herringbone woollen trousers, which have just arrived. However, they are of a slightly slimmer fabric, and I am not sure how well they will work as odd trousers. In other words, they may look too close to something that belongs in a suit?
Also, I should point out that they usually look much darker than in the image below.

I bought these in all 3 color combos and liked the St. Lucia the best. The Antigua blush was too glittery for me, although the color is nice. The TurksCaicos is a nice color set but the bronzer is a little too dark for me. I would have to use it lightly in order for me to wear it. The quality is good for the money you paid, but being how I like to change my cosmetics selections often, I probably would not repurchase.

This does not compare to Tarte Park Avenue Princess, and the blush is glittery, but it is definitely worth buying. For the price you can buy 2 backups and still not spend as much as one Park Avenue Princess. If you are ghostly pale in the winter like me, the blush shows up fine. If you work in a formal setting I would skip the sparkly blush, but if you use it sparingly it is fine. The bronzer is not a dupe for anything high end, but I would not skip it.

I don't really use the blush so this review is just for the bronzer. This is such such such a great drugstore find. I was pretty on the fence about this but it was just $3 at Target so I figured why not. First of all, the packaging is pretty average for the low price. The powder itself was really hard and condensed and it was kind of hard to pick up on the brush but that ended up making the results look alot more natural. The actual bronzer looked shimmery in the packaging but it goes on skin very smooth and matte. It is highly pigmented and looks very "shadowy" which is perfect for contouring. Its been so hard to find a good drugstore contour and it turns out the best was the cheapest! I had purchased Covergirl Instant Cheekbones and that was just a cheap product that was very low quality. Nyx Matte Bronzer also looked too orange for a contour. This really is perfect for the price. I'd say its actually comparable to Nars Laguna or It Cosmetics Sculpting Kit.

I bought this after seeing online that it's a knock-off for the NARS Orgasm/Laguna Blush & Bronzer Duo. Now I don't know what I would do without it. I use this for everyday wear and contouring.
Presentation and value are great. Comes in a black mirror compact and sells for about $4 CAD at Target & some larger Loblaws. It's odorless, long-lasting and goes on effortlessly.
Some of the drawbacks were the blush did not have the same shimmer as Orgasm does and the blush gets discoloured after a few uses. It's also a warm palette so I tend not to use it in winter.

The blush looks great on my skin.With the bronzer i notice it made me look a little orange and it is a little dark with my skin color in the winter. In the summer it will great. Warning when putting on go light. They both are VERY pigmented.

This is one of my HG products that I use on my face on a daily basis. Every time ELF has a big sale I always make sure I pick up 3 or 4 of these. This is a pretty good dupe for the Nars one as I have used that before as well, but the formulation is a bit different. The Nars is a lot more finely milled, whereas this one is a lot more powdery. I use the bronzer to bronze my face with a larger brush and then contour with a smaller angled brush, then dust on the blush. I always get compliments on this duo together and people always ask me what I am wearing. They are also really shocked when I tell them that it is ELF and that it costed $1.50 (haha). This stuff works really well for me and lasts all day. However, some of my friends who have bought it upon my recommendation are not as big of a fan because it doesn't seem to last as long on them. They told me that it basically lasts for 2 hours and then disappears. I guess it's not for everyone, but for me it is something I can't live without!

I bought this duo online from the E.l.f website. Personally, I like E.l.f products but this duo didnt do it for me. The blush is too red for my skin tone and it is super pigmented, so a light hand is definitely needed. I like when you able to build up the blush but with this you really cant, with one swipe its full on color. The bronzer is a perfect match for my skin tone but it looks so splotchy on my face by the end of the day. The NYC bronzer in SUNNY is much better quality and the staying power is much better as well as Rimmel 002 in SUN BRONZE.
