In thinking about this from the other thread, I think it would be really great if LOA did different series of political writing. 20th Century Conservative Writing, 20th Century Progressive Writing, 19th Century Political Speeches, Speeches of the 1960s, American Peace Writing, 20th Century Presidential Inauguration Speeches, etc...
If there is one conservative political writer who I think deserves a LOA volume it would be William F. Buckley. Whether one agrees with him or not, he is a really great writer.
I think Rand could have a volume also, but I would also want to see radical or progressive writers also get a volume here and there to represent the breadth of American political thought.
>2 brother_salvatore:
Good idea! They would fit into the thematic anthologies such as Into the Blue and American Sea Writing.
Russell Kirk would be a good conservative for this project. Maybe even Norman Podhoretz and Irving Kristol. Although, I don't think they can be truly classified as conservative. They do represent a critical wing of American political writing.
I just think Ayn Rand is a bullshit writer who writes bullshit. Her philosophy, if indeed she has one, is muddled at best and infantile at worst. I think her thought is that of a spoiled 2nd grader. Me, mine, I want. There is good, contemporary, conservative political writing, grounded in the tenets of conservatism. Ayn Rand is none of those things. Personally, I see Ayn Rand as the Anti-Christ, where Jesus sees mutual help and support as one of the primary goals of humanity, she sees selfishness and petulance as the epitome of human engagement. Remember, never, ever do something for someone for which you will not be paid. And who was John Galt? Oh, yeah, he was the guy who, when he found he didn't like the rules of the game, took his ball and went home. We've all known people like that.
4>> Ditto on Russell Kirk (though I'll quarrel with neocons like Podhoretz and Kristol).
The Southern Agrarians should definitely be included in any such volume.
And also, Robinson Jeffers.
I'm not familiar enough with Zora Neale Hurston's political writings to say how substantial they are, but I know she was definitely an admirer of Robert Taft and that she's been adopted by current-day libertarians and some paleocons.
Someone else who should be included, believe it or not, is Dorothy Day, the founder (with Peter Maurin) of the Catholic Worker, who herself seems to have been an admirer of the distributism of the Southern Agrarians. There's an interesting chapter on this subject in Bill Kauffman's Look Homeward, America, which also includes, among other chapters, one on Carolyn Chute. Kauffman, a self-described "love child of Henry David Thoreau and Dorothy Day," is a regular (and somewhat offbeat) columnist for the paleocon American Conservative.

Zora Neale Hurston should definitely be included. Even if her opinions seem dated, her status as an intelligent participant/observer makes her work still valuable.

Oh yeah, precisely. I wasn't going to post on this thread, but that was just too apt of a statement to not comment upon.
I have not read anything other than Atlas Shrugged. When I read it I had a completely different world view from what I have now, so I liked it of course.
I liked the fact that someone else was saying that people should not be rewarded for sitting around feeding off others, or that there should be charity rather than welfare.
Then I had an evolution in my thinking.
I began to realise that A.S. is propaganda. It is anti-communist clap-trap. I realised that people were dependent because they were excluded, by race, geography, society. I realised then that a few powerful people owned the game, wrote the rules and owned the muscle to enforce them.
I do not think that Ayn Rand deserves a volume in LOA. She was not an influential political philosopher in any serious way. I have tried to read Atlas Shrugged and put it down three times, but that is only one person's opinion. I do think that a two volume set of American Political Writings, similar to the American Speeches would be worthwhile and interesting.
But she took her Social Security and Medicare. So, an "idealist" to the end...
> 10
I'm not so sure there is anything wrong with that. I assumed she paid into the pot to get something out of it.
As I said above, I'm no longer a fan of Rand's 'philosophy', but don't see using medicare as being hypocritical.
Incidentally, I started talking to my doctor this morning about reading and found out she's listening to an audio version of The Fountainhead.
12> considering her influence on the neoconservative movement . . . .
Rand was in no way a neocon, with the neocon stress on war and empire. On the contrary, her views would definitely be considered anti-interventionist, and some writers at the libertarian/Paulite website Antiwar.com very much like her. I'm no admirer of Rand, but I think she should be criticized for the right reasons. Some kind of influence on neocons is definitely not accurate. I would add that Rand, a staunch devotee of the gold standard, was certainly no admirer of the Federal Reserve Board, and whatever Alan Greenspan's association with her, Greenspan's Fed-based monetary policies were definitely not Randian.
I guess you could say that Rand deserves canonization in the LoA at least as much as Edgar Rice Burroughs did, but that may be like saying that Marie Corelli (whom I've never read) deserves canonization by Virago Modern Classics -- which she's certainly not gotten so far! Actually Corelli's books are probably of more interest since Elizabeth Taylor (the real Elizabeth Taylor) satirized her in Angel.
Sorry to all Burroughs fans out there, but the LoA was definitely slumming with its Burroughs edition -- and believe me, somewhere close to half-a-century ago I devoured darn near everything Burroughs ever wrote, and my reread of a couple Kindle freebies in the past few years makes me realize what a terrible writer Burroughs really was. And as far as Rand's concerned, some forty years or more ago I read darn near everything she ever wrote too.
As much as I hate Ayn Rand, and I hate her writings a lot, I think it would be a bad thing if LoA eventually did not include her writings if it were able.
The mandate of the LoA is that it should include all important and significant writings. While I disagree with almost everything Ayn Rand has to say, including what her supporters and fans have to say, her works are important to explain the way our society currently works politically.
Look at the influence of Alan Greenspan, Paul Ryan, and a large section of the conservative movement. Her writing has had a major impact on domestic current affairs, if only to the detriment to us all.
Given the proper context, I think an LoA volume or two (or three) would help to explain the thinking of a large segment of the American people, even if that thinking is terribly misguided. Otherwise, if one were to look at the LoA works as a tapestry and history of American writing, it would have a big piece missing and without it some of the things that have occurred will not make any sense without that context.
15 > "Her writing has had a major impact on domestic current affairs, if only to the detriment to us all... help to explain the thinking of a large segment of the American people, even if that thinking is terribly misguided."
Congratulations on being so much smarter than everyone else.
Slightly off topic, but Atlas Shrugged is in theaters in seven days. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!
BTW, those of you who hate Ayn Rand, have you read her philosophy, or only heard about it? I don't think teaching personal responsibility and independence of thought and action are misguided. I don't agree with her on everything she says, but the general trend of her philosophy seems pretty sound to me.
Ayn Rand doesn't teach personal responsibility. She teaches narcissism. An entirely different thing. Her message is, in short, if I can't have my way I'm going to take my ball and go home, although, she dresses that sentiment up by giving it the name of "going Galt". That's what Ayn Rand teaches. I've read two of her books Anthem and Atlas Shrugged. Both of these books are fantasy. You can't base real life on fantasy. The general trend in her philosophy boils down to don't do anything for anyone for which you will not, or cannot, be paid. Yup, That's the philosophy for me. Her philosophy is mostly why we're in the hole we're in nationally. Ayn Rand is THE Anti-Christ. Personal responsibility is fine if you have the resources to exercise your responsibilities. Not everyone does. Anyone who thinks many people are lazy and won't work because they enjoy life on the dole is either smoking funny stuff, or has precious little experience with real life.
"anyone who thinks people are lazy and wont work" might be a criminal defense attorney, like myself, who sees about 1500 of these type a year. Many people are getting a bit tired of carrying such, and as you say might be thinking of "Going Galt." After all, we are in a national crisis because people cannot keep the rewards of their own hard work, so one might think why bother?
*Sigh* This used to be a nice troll-free group.
Anyway. Atlas Shrugged: The Movie Part 2 was made? I thought the first one was thoroughly slapped by the free market.
Rand was a racist who in 1979 characterized the Palestinians as "savages." Yet she never (ETA: at least as far as I'm aware) criticized the savages who twelve years earlier had attacked the U.S.S. Liberty, murdering 34 Americans and wounding 174 others.
Her "philosophy" was an epistemological gibberish that she called "realist" but was based ethically on some kind of romanticized Nietzscheanism that was completely ignorant of Nietzsche's psychological subtlety as well as his oft-used irony and sarcasm, which makes a literal reading of Nietzsche extremely dangerous.
Of course, Rand would have denied any Nietzscheanism and claimed that her epistemology was Artistotelian-based, but her narcissistic ethics were entirely non-Aristotelian and, even as to Artistotle's epistemology, she completely ignored its basis in Aristotle's theory of matter and form and rejected the Aristotelian metaphysics that derived therefrom. And her attack on Kantian epistemology showed complete ignorance of what Kant was doing with his distinction between noumenon and phenomenon.
And incidentally, yeah, I read all of her novels years ago. We the Living is actually a fairly decent semi-autobiographical novel, but Anthem (I think) is largely a rip-off of Zamyatin's We. The Fountainhead includes a masochistic endorsement of "rape by consent," and Atlas Shrugged is a completely unreadable glop of propaganda that weighs in at probably a greater length (though with far less literary merit) than an unabridged Les Miserables.
Anyway, whatever anyone thinks of Rand's political and economic ideas, the Library of America is supposed to rely on at least some kind of canon of literary merit. Now, granted, the LoA has started slumming in recent years, but Rand isn't even as meritorious as Edgar Rice Burroughs!
Sean Hannity is in the second part, so count me in...
And, Grover Norquist!
Is the movie is half as good as the trailer it will be great!
BTW, those of you who hate Ayn Rand, have you read her philosophy, or only heard about it?
I've read Anthem and about 100 pp. of Atlas Shrugged. Anthem (which, I am very happy to note, is now available as a free ebook at Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1249) and many other websites, something that would no doubt piss Ms. Rand off endlessly) started off as an entertaining tale that got pretty risible about a third of the way through; in Atlas Shrugged, I found Rand's philosophical odiousness surpassed only by her stylistic incompetence. If she's your cup of tea, great; personally, I found her to be mostly a waste of time.
Should Ayn Rand be included in the Library of America?
1> I've only read Atlas Shrugged. I don't know much about Ayn Rand, her philosophy, or her impact, but based only on literary merits I'd vote no. She might have a place in an anthology I guess, and I could be totally wrong if Atlas Shrugged is not indicative of her writing as a whole.
19> Ayn Rand doesn't teach personal responsibility.
Personal responsibility is a major theme of Atlas Shrugged. The author lacks subtlety, so I'm not sure how anyone could miss this. Hank Rearden v. James Taggart; Dagny Taggart v. Wesley Mouch; John Galt v. the Starne siblings. Successful characters are responsible and villains are irresponsible and blame others.
19> She teaches narcissism.
In Atlas Shrugged it is emphasized many times that the successful characters have business and personal relationships in which ALL parties profit (and not always monetarily). The only characters who might be characterized as narcissistic are the villains, like James Taggart and socialist government bureaucrats who grow wealthy as the country declines.
19> Her message is, in short, if I can't have my way I'm going to take my ball and go home.
Okay, let's see if I can recall everything Rearden put up with before he quit: 1) Compelled to divest himself of ore and coal companies, decreasing the value of his company, raising his costs, and lowering his production 2) Compelled to accept a government-appointed director into his business to distribute his metal. 3) Compelled to supply the government at discounted rates. 4) Compelled to give up the recipe of his metal to his competitors. 5) Went broke putting his own wealth back into the company to keep it afloat. He didn't even have a ball to take with him when he finally quit! Wasn't the message that the rules should be fair for everyone playing the game? Oh, or maybe this was a deliberate mischaracterization?
22> Rand was a racist
Okay, this is out of my depth - I saw nothing in Atlas Shrugged to suggest racism. So I Googled "Ayn Rand Racism" and read an article called "Racism" in which she argues against racism. Not sure if calling Palestinians savages but not Israelis is tantamount to racism?
25> ...started off as an entertaining tale that got pretty risible about a third of the way through
Yeap. The first part was not bad, the second part started to drag, and the third part seemed like a somewhat stilted switch to science fiction. Dialog and character development are not the author's strengths. I think the would have benefited from more editing.
>27 scott.stricker: Can't argue with you about the literary merit, but you definitely summed up Atlas Shrugged perfectly in terms of the message.

You don't get bureaucrats in non-socialist countries?
If you ask me, regardless of what party is in government in the US, you do not have anything close to a socialist country, yet the government under all of your presidents have been large, invasive and interfering.
The only difference being that with Republican governments, the propaganda mouthpiece attempts to deny this.
For the record, I classify the Armed Forces, Home Guard, Federal Police, State Police, CIA, FBI, Homeland Security etc etc as all part of government.
>29 LesMiserables: " the government under all of your presidents have been large, invasive and interfering"
Since George Washington? That's a rather sweeping generalization. Please explain how the government under Millard Fillmore was "large, invasive, and interfering." (I'd like to know as from the sources I've read the government seemed to be non-existent during his presidency.)
>29 LesMiserables: You don't get bureaucrats in non-socialist countries?
No, I never said that. Not even sure if that is what the author suggested in the book? Not even sure how this comment applies to my post actually.
>29 LesMiserables: If you ask me, regardless of what party is in government in the US, you do not have anything close to a socialist country, yet the government under all of your presidents have been large, invasive and interfering.
I would argue that the US has had a fairly isolationist foreign policy until WWI, and even then we pretty much returned to isolationism. It was only after WWII that the US became a super power and pursued a more aggressive foreign policy, primarily directed against the spread of communism. I would also argue that, ever since the proliferation of nuclear weapons, isolationism is simply no longer a realistic option.
>30 Django6924: That's a rather sweeping generalization.
Yeah, go figure - a sweeping generalization on an internet chat board. Hope this doesn't become a trend.
>31 scott.stricker: "Yeah, go figure - a sweeping generalization on an internet chat board. Hope this doesn't become a trend."
Like irony.
> 30
Yup, thinking out loud without writing it down. Apologies. I was referring to post war US governments.
> 31
From your post #27 socialist government bureaucrats who grow wealthy as the country declines.
I assumed that by including the adjective socialist that you were inferring that it was largely a socialist problem, which is of course nonsense.
On your next point, I was not referring to US foreign policy but domestic policy.
Interesting comments justifying American expansionism and nuclear proliferation. For all the ballyhoo around WMDs, the only reason US foreign policy is hyper aggressive is to eke out markets for new theatres of military conflict (either directly including US forces or not) to supply demand for armaments.
I wish LOA would release an Ayn Rand volume; that way we could be finished with the "Should She Be In" threads which digress like this. I get that people hate her, her philosophy and all the politics that go with it. But, her influence is pretty hard to deny. It all swings back to the more general question of whether LOA admission is purely a question of literary/technical merit or if enduring influence should affect admission. To the disappointment of some on this board, enduring influence does count (see Lovecraft for another controversial choice).
> 35
I agree. In my point above in #8, I am quite clearly not a fan of Rand but when we start to curtail a legacy for purely political reasons then something is lost to future generations.
I disagree. People (namely Randians) are cultivating a legacy for purely political reasons...
Nothing will be lost, it's a jejune philosophy.
34> My entire post (27) was about Atlas Shrugged and how some posts seemed to me to have mischaracteriize it. What I wrote was "the only characters who might be characterized as narcissistic are the villains, like James Taggart and socialist government bureaucrats who grow wealthy as the country declines." This was not my opinion or a general statement, it was simply a description of characters in Atlas Shrugged and what they did in the book. You seem to have taken it out of context, generalized it, and ascribed it to me?
34> Interesting comments justifying American expansionism and nuclear proliferation.
Again, I think you're generalizing what I wrote. In my post (31) I was not justifying US foreign policy, I was simply trying to describe it (at least as I understand it). I was also not justifying nuclear proliferation (who would?), just pointing out that the US simply couldn't return to a largely isolationist foreign policy after the USSR developed nuclear weapons.
34> the only reason US foreign policy is hyper aggressive is to eke out markets for new theatres of military conflict (either directly including US forces or not) to supply demand for armaments.
Are you seriously arguing that the US has gained more than it has spent in post 9/11 conflicts? While the US deficit has risen $158 Billion (2002) - $1.1 Trillion (2012) and the national debt went from $5 Trillion (2001) - $16 Trillion (2012), GDP has only gone from $11 Trillion to $13 Trillion. You may have heard that we are in fact in a rather serious recession? The US has gained no territory since after WWII and gas prices have gone from $1.40 (2001) to $3.80 (today). Please explain how the US has profited from ANY of this mess?
The last point, not the US as a whole, but some profited (quite nicely I might add) on the mess Bush/Wolfowitz/Rumsfield/Cheney lead this country into...
But it's a corporate strategy. Gut the company, leave before it collapses, no need for the markets.

Yes I am seriously suggesting that the government finds markets for military spending to line the pockets of the Armament Dealers and Manufacturers. The taxpayer picks up the bill.
I am taking back my previous position.
Ayn Rand should NOT be in the LoA.
The reason is simple. The LoA recently published a volume on anti-slavery writing. Publishing Ayn Rand would be akin to publishing a slavery writing volume. It would be disgusting and insulting. Just because there are two sides to an argument does not mean that one side is legitimate. The history of America is a history of conflicts with 2 or more sides. Our history has been a path of choices. Certain ideas and ideals persisted and prevailed. These should be lauded and celebrated. Ayn Rand's works should not be as it goes against all the choices and paths America has chosen so far. It does not fit the narrative and is just another obstacle in the way of American progress as defined by our culture so far.
The works of Ayn Rand are a perversion of American ideals.
I have my students read collections of proslavery writings from the antebellum period. They are really glad that I assign them even though it makes for uncomfortable reading and they have to explain that they are reading it for a class when they get stern looks at the coffee shop or from friends and family. It is important to know the stories Americans told themselves about slavery. Whether much of the material makes for great literature is highly debatable, but collections by Paul Finkelman and Drew Gilpin Faust are essential reading for those interested in the nineteenth-century United States. The writers collected in these books saw slavery as an essential component of American freedom.
I've never read Rand, but she has to be one of the most polarizing writers of the past hundred years or so.
Are you seriously arguing that the US has gained more than it has spent in post 9/11 conflicts?
The costs and benefits of ANY government's policies do not necessarily go to the same people.
The broader society can be flatly destroyed by policies that enrich SOME members of the society.
Yes, we spent billions, raised from across the entire society: but a moment's thought will show that that money was funneled into relatively few pockets.
I'm not going to get into/ attempt to provoke an argument, but there are many of us who feel that a startling amount of what's in Atlas Shrugged has proven prophetic.
Also, her protagonists, in at least Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, can arguably be considered embodying the "The American Dream."
Why haven't you published ______?
The Library of America aims for inclusiveness, but there are often circumstances that prevent us from including a given writer or work. For instance, we may be unable to obtain publication rights. Or, the writer in question may have only a small number of significant works that won't fill out an entire LOA volume. Or sometimes, we just haven't gotten around to it—yet. The series is open-ended, which is to say we will continue to add titles. We have a lot of work yet to do. If you have a specific writer in mind, feel free to e-mail us...
Bar the usual publication rights issues, there is no reason not include Rand, however how significant she is in a literary sense is all important.

Review for "If You're Rich, I'm Single"
This is my FAVORITE eye makeup product! It is the perfect compliment to most of my eye looks, and it looks gorgeous on it's own. I have had the same pot for years and am just getting around to reviewing now. But I should have done it sooner.
I generally wear a brown/taupe/gray/black palate on my eyes (I use the original Smashbox Exposed palette on the cooler side). I use a bit of Overshadow to subtly blend the colors and smooth and give pop to my look. "If You're Rich, I'm Single" is slightly more purple-y than my other colors, but it brings a nice touch and really pops my blue, slightly greyish eyes.It has sort of a rich, darkish taupe base. Looks great on light makeup days as my only shadow.
-Looks good with my naturally very fair skin or with a nice spray tan.
-Goes on super smooth. Blends better than any other product I've tried.
-Color is versatile; goes well with a variety of other shadow colors. Or on it's own.
-A quick swipe of this over your finished eye makes it look professionally done and perfectly blended. It enhances the color without really changing it a lot or making it too dark.
-The value is incredible! The price is super reasonable, and like I said, I've used one pot forever!
-The container is super messy. Cute, but messy. I use a paper towel under it when I open it because I know some powder will fall out, no matter what. And I don't want to clean it up. It's also sad to loose small amounts of product.
TIP: Just like with Bare Minerals, poke holes in sticker over shaker. Only open 2 or 3 at first to make sure you don't dump all the product onto the lid. And always tap your brush after dipping it -- this give a light sheen, but can go on too dark if you aren't careful.
I hope to buy this for the rest of my life!

This eyeshadow is a glitter lover's dream. I have this in "you buy, I'll fly" which is an amazing glittery warm copper. Dry, it is sheer and wet it gives full-on, metallic color. You have to be extremely careful with this eyeshadow (even more so than most glitters because the sparkle is so fine) because it has a tendency to go everywhere. But if you're careful, you get an incredible look. Because it is so sheer, I like to use a base under it like the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils. This also helps to stop glitter from getting everywhere. And when you use it wet, it's the most beautiful, metallic eyeshadow you will every come across. It looks like liquid metal. There's also no glitter cloud with this method. Does it take some work? Yeah. Is it worth it? Heck yeah. I fully recommend this eyeshadow to anyone who loves a little sparkle in his or her life.

As others have said, this is not a good shadow on it own, but I've found it extremely helpful in creating a subtle highlight/shimmer on top of other colors. My favorite application is to ever-so-slightly heighten the drama of an entirely matte shadow look (by patting some on the center of the lid and inner corner). I also like it when I'm going for a more shimmery eye and want a pop of brightness (again usually on the center lid and inner corner). It makes it look like I spent a lot more time on my shadow than I really did. I've personally never found it to distort the underlying color, but I'm a neutrals person, generally, so I can see how it might have a bigger effect on brighter colors.
* lovely, soft shimmer
* very blendable
* soft, smooth application
* amazing center lid and inner corner highlight
* complements most other shadows
* generous amount of product
* difficult to tell how much your brush has picked up
* not a good stand-alone shadow

I didn't like this at all. I was extremely disappointed. I tried the Overshadow in No Money, No Honey and couldn't find one thing I liked about it. As a shadow by itself, it's too sheer to be worth the application. When using it OVER shadow, it just doesn't do anything to make it worthwhile. I found that it actually DOES alter the color of shadow when you apply it over it, so I wouldn't recommend using it if you just spent a ton of time doing your eyeshadow with different shades and blending and all that... this will just cover most of that up. It does make eyes slightly more shimmery, but just not in a very satisfying way. I have a ton of eyeshadows that are just as, if not more, shimmery than this Overshadow and in better shades also. As such, I just don't have a use for this and will most likely get rid of it. Not really recommended, you could use the money for other things that are more worthwhile.

I bought this in 3 shades and love them. These have a different texture then pigments, smoother and more finely milled and maybe a tad drier for lack of a better term but these are gorgeous. I love how shimmery they are but not glittery. These last all day for me. I still need to try these out wet as a liner. Great product.

Got this in a gift set at TJ Maxx and wasn't quite sure what its point was--till I tried it! I made a smokey eye look with 2 other shadows from thebalm -- Mischievous Marissa and Sexy Stacey-- and patted this very lightly over my eyelids as a finishing touch with my fingertip--and WOW! It's like someone took a magic wand and transformed my eyelids with it because the shadows suddenly looked deeper and more vibrant! I have the If You're Rich, I'm Single shade, and it adds a slightly taupe-y, purple-y hue to the shadows beneath it but is fairly sheer if you apply very lightly. It adds a beautiful, multi-colored glimmer to the lids worthy of a special night out, without being tacky like you're going to a club. A tiny bit goes a really long way so I can see why the original price is so steep if you buy this separately. But I can't see myself running out any time soon b/c you only need a tiny bit! Will continue wearing this over my night look for that little extra oomph. You just have to try it for yourself to understand what I mean.

I bought You Buy I'll Fly from my local T.J Maxx. Luckily, they have a great selection of TheBalm products. It was $8, considering the quality/brand, this isn't bad at all. It is much more if you were to go out and buy it at regular price.
It's a beautiful peachy/pink color. It sides more on a medium toned, almost light hot pink. The shimmer is beautiful. It's very noticeable in the packaging but more subtle when applied. The shimmer sparkles a peach color and it's not frosty at all. It's only noticeable when it catches some light.
I experienced no fallout upon application. I did use UDPP and I highly suggest using a primer when using this. Since it is a loose mineral powder it needs something to adhere too.
The pigmentation is good. You honestly need a very small amount. It's very buildable. A swipe can give you very visible color but it's more on the "lighter" side. This is NOT sheer in anyway but an extra swipe or so is needed to get a more vivid outcome. I lightly flicked the jar to get more product. It's true, you do get a lot for your money. Many higher end brands overcharge for minimal product - glad to say TheBalm does not.
I did not find this messy at all. It's very easy to control the amount that comes out. Even when I turned it upside down to check the color name, no excess powder came flooding out (I unscrewed it to check...turning it right side up of course.) Actually, it looked the same as when I had put it away. If you SHAKE the container, of course it'll be a huge mess. A tap or two is enough..anything more than that you're just asking for trouble.
I work with kids and am constantly on the move - a lot of time outside in the hot florida heat. This lasted through sweating and humidity. I put it on at noon and it's about six and it's still as vivid and shimmery. A slight amount of shimmer did transfer onto my waterline but I had to get close up to my mirror to spot it. Considering the circumstances, this is impressive.
I have very fair skin and green eyes and it suits my features well. I love how versatile this shadow is. I cannot wait to try it out over over shadow and to accent..and to foil.
Yes, it is "gimmicky." But who cares?! The quality is fantastic and the packaging really makes it stick out. It caught my attention because of how pinup it is. Many companies try to be modern, I like ones that try to be different. That should not deter you from at least trying it out. And it'll last you such a long time.
I could not recommend more.

Battle Creek Central head coach Greg Williams and his Bearcats are the Enquirer's pick to be No. 1 in the first E-10 poll of the season.
- Filed Under
Sometimes, it takes a lot of patience to reach the top.
Battle Creek Central's boys' basketball head coach Greg Williams has shown a lot of patience as many of the players on his current team were brought up as freshmen and sophomores, taking their lumps early in hopes that they will be better in the future.
Well, the future might be now as a BCC team loaded with returning players with varsity experience has reached the top of our first E-10 poll for this season. ...

November 28, 2015
DECATUR, Ga. (AP) - DeKalb County's police chief has been placed
on a two-week adminstrative leave.
An attorney for police chief Terrell Bolton says the chief will
go on leave while the county's new chief executive, Burrell Ellis,
reviews Boltons use of comp time.
Attorney Bill McKenney says Ellis informed Bolton of the leave
Monday. McKenney says the chief readily accepted the paid leave
because he needs to focus on improving his health after being
diagnosed with diabetes.
Bolton returned to work Monday after taking a week off due to
his illness. The chief referred all questions to McKenney, who said
he's heard no suggestion that Bolton would leave the chiefs job.
Under county law, Bolton can be fired only for cause.
Ellis was not available for comment.

This delicious recipe, courtesy of the National Kidney Foundation tastes great and is also kidney-friendly in honor of National Kidney Month! The nuggets are appropriate for CKD, dialysis and diabetes, and the fries are appropriate for CKD and dialysis.
- 1 1/2 lb air-chilled chicken breast, cut into 1.5 by 1-inch nuggets
- 1 1/2 oz low-sodium greek yogurt
- 1 cup all-purpose white flour
- 1 egg, whisked
- 1 cup crushed wheat cornflakes
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp dried dill
- 1/4 tsp dried celery seed
- 1/4 tsp salt-free garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp dried lemon peel
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- olive oil spray
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup yellow polenta
- 1/2 tsp dried dill
- 1/4 tsp salt-free garlic powder
In a plastic container, mix the chicken with yogurt and lemon. Use your hands to rub all the ingredients together so that the chicken is completely covered in the yogurt, lemon marinade. Then cover the container and place it in the fridge overnight, or a minimum of four hours.
When you're ready to get baking, preheat oven to 400°F.
Take the chicken out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature. While it warms up, prepare your breading station. In three separate bowls place the following: • Bowl 1: Flour • Bowl 2: Whisked egg • Bowl 3: Crushed cornflake breadcrumbs mixed with spices (dill to black pepper)
Place an oven-safe cooling rack on a baking sheet, or if you don't have one, just cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Then, start breading your chicken by dipping each strip or nugget into the flour, then dredging it in the egg, and finally rolling it in the cornflake crumbs.
Place the nugget on the cooling rack and continue with the others until all are breaded.
Give all the nuggets a quick spray of olive oil and place it into the oven until brown and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.
For French Fries
In a medium pot, bring water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Slowly pour in the polenta, stirring as you go.
Add the dried dill and the salt-free garlic powder and continue stirring over low heat until polenta is thick and liquid is absorbed, about 10 to 12 minutes.
Allow the polenta to cool for 10 minutes and then spread, about 1/2-inch thick, in a lightly greased 9 by 12-inch baking pan.
Or, if you have two small 8 by 13-inch tart pans that works as well. Place in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
When cooled, rub the top of the polenta with a little olive oil using a pastry brush or your hand.
Or you can coat with some olive oil spray. Then cut your polenta into fry shapes.
You can make skinny fries or thick steak fries. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and into the oven to bake for 10 minutes.
Flip and bake for a second 10 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm.

Service delivery protest in SowetoComment on this story
johannesburg - About 1000 people from Bramfischerville in Soweto staged a service delivery protest on Wednesday, police said.
Warrant Officer Kay Makhubela said residents wanted street lights, tarred roads and sports facilities for their children.
"They also complained about blocked drains and long grass in open areas that was posing a danger to them."
A representative from the mayor's office arrived in the area around 1pm to collect a memorandum from protesters. The mayor was given 14 days to respond.
At 2pm the area was calm and there was a strong police presence.
"No people were arrested or injured and nothing has been damaged," Makhubela said. - Sapa

Q. Are applicants required to complete a bachelor's degree in nursing (B.S.N.) before enrolling in the Entry-Level M.S.N. program?
A. No, applicants may enter the program with a bachelor's degree in arts or science from an accredited institution. Applicants, however, are required to complete all program prerequisites and admission requirements to be eligible for the entry-level master's-degree program. For a list of prerequisites please click here.

A. Yes, the program provides California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) approved coursework and clinical experiences needed in preparation for the National Council Licensing Examination (NCLEX) to practice as a registered nurse. Upon completion of the entire M.S.N. program, students are eligible to take the NCLEX to become licensed registered nurses.
Q. Can students complete the prelicensure portion of the program only?
A. No, eligibility for the NCLEX will only be provided for a student who successfully completes all of the required coursework.
Q. What is the difference between the Bachelor of Science in Nursing and the Master's Entry Program in Nursing?
A. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree is an undergraduate program that allows students to complete a bachelor's degree as they prepare to become registered nurses. The entry-level Master of Science in Nursing program is a graduate program designed for individuals who already earned a bachelor's degree in a different field and seek to transition into clinical nursing and leadership roles.
Q. What is the difference between the M.S.N. and the Entry-Level M.S.N. program?
A. Both programs are graduate nursing programs; however, the Master of Science in Nursing program is designed for students who already earned a bachelor's degree in Nursing and seek to further their nursing education.

Over six quarters, students complete 1,080 clinical practicum hours.
Q. How is this program unique?
A. The curriculum for the program was developed based on best practices as identified through nursing education research. Some of the highlights of this approach are the program's use of case-based and problem-based learning. Clinical and academic boundaries are blurred and the teaching prioritizes a strong interprofessional approach. According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, entry-level Master of Science in Nursing graduates are in the highest demand of all nursing programs and also earn the highest salaries upon graduation.

Prerequisites and application requirements
Q. Is prerequisite coursework from community colleges accepted?
A. Yes, however the college must be accredited.

A. No, but it is desired that all prerequisite courses (in particular, the human anatomy and human physiology prerequisites) are completed within the past seven years of when applicants plan to apply.
Q: Can the prerequisite communication courses be substituted?
A: No, these are requirements set by the Board of Registered Nursing and are verified when the Master's Entry Program in Nursing graduates submit their documentation for licensing exam eligibility. Only courses titled Group Communication, Verbal Communication, Written Communication or closely related titles will be accepted. It is not enough for a course to have an "extensive writing or communication component" or be too specific in one form of writing (i.e. literature courses, women's studies courses, scientific writing, etc.). All applicants, regardless of their academic or professional background, must complete each of the prerequisites in order to be considered for admission to the program.
Q: How can an applicant fulfill the Human Development across the Lifespan course requirement?

As I sit at my computer writing this article stressing about my procrastination, I search for a piece of chocolate ? then I stopped myself and realize that I was "stress eating!" Everyone eats for emotional and stress relief occasionally. That's not what gets you in trouble. It's the constant, mindless "grazing" or reactive eating that will put on the weight.
Stress eating itself is not the problem. It is whatever is driving you to turn to a drug, like food, in the first place. When you are done eating the cookies, what drove you to the cookies in the first place is still there. (For me, I just like sweets!)
1. Stop dramatizing! Don't add to the negative impact of stressful situations by engaging in dramatizing. Even if you are in the "right," it doesn't pay to dramatize it. Just move on! Get over it!
2. Don't take it personally. Criticism and insults from other people are often hard to take. I like to see the situation as a "challenge" or opportunity for me to improve myself. What you must remember is they are dealing with the stress in their lives. too. In other words, they are doing the best "they" can - and it has nothing to do with you. Let it go and move on.
3. Get some perspective. My husband's favorite quote is "perspective is reality." How you look at stressful events makes all the difference. Have you had a stressful situation that you initially thought would be a disaster, yet it turned out to be the best thing that could ever have happened? Try to see the bigger picture!
4. Shift out of negative response patterns as quickly as possible. Start speaking positive words about yourself. Stress eating is both an automatic response to stress and a symptom of it. Your health depends on breaking these habits. Remember, your health is your wealth!
5. Recharge ... recharge ... recharge. Hang around positive people. Reconnect to old friends. Schedule some "me" time.

The bureau has agreed to pay $50,000 during the five-year marketing partnership. The bureau will get an ad on the back cover of the season program as well as recognition as a season sponsor in other Totem Pole promotions. A representative of the visitors' bureau will announce local activities before each show.
"This is an attempt to promote other festivals and activities that folks may be interested in coming back to Franklin County for," county Commissioner David Keller said.
The bureau previously has supported the summer stock theater by sponsoring:
- The Cole Porter Show musical for $6,650 in 2012.
- A two-week-run play for $3,750 in each of 2008, 2009 and 2010.
Commissioner Robert Thomas said increased commitment is part of an effort to keep the theater solvent.
The visitors bureau is an agency of the county, but is funded by the tax the county levies on motel rooms and revenue from state grants. Local tax dollars do not support the bureau, which promotes local tourism.

Torture case maybe part of national kidnapping spree
For nine days, a Louisville man was held captive in a West Knox County hotel room, beaten, burned, slashed and tortured both mentally and physically in what may be a serial attack, according to federal court records.
Jose Ignacio Ortega Garcia may be the latest victim in a series of kidnappings across the United States by Mexicans who prey on other Hispanics to get cash through torture, authorities allege.
It was a probe led by Knox County Sheriff's Office Detective Heather Reyda and FBI Agent Buddy Early that is being credited with exposing the kidnapping spree.
Garcia's nine days of terror are detailed in a criminal complaint unsealed this week in U.S. District Court against Jose Sanchez, 18, and Juan Gonzales, 28. Both men, who are suspects in at least two other similar attacks, were nabbed recently in Houston on a federal complaint filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Tracy Stone in connection with the kidnapping of Garcia. Sanchez was arraigned this week. Gonzales should appear in court here soon.
According to the complaint, Garcia endured untold suffering both physical and mental by assailants bent on stealing thousands of dollars from him.
Garcia's plight began in early June when Claudia Paez, the ex-wife of one of Garcia's business associates, showed up at Garcia's home in Louisville with two Mexicans who she said were seeking work. Garcia, who owns a construction company, was hosting a fish fry for his employees at the time and told the men to call him later.
On June 13, Garcia finally agreed to meet with the men, later identified as Gonzales and Sanchez, taking the pair to a potential job site in Lenoir City before returning to Knoxville.
As Garcia turned onto Lovell Road, the suspects guided him to a secluded spot under the guise of needing a potty break. Instead, according to the complaint, the pair attacked Garcia.
"Upon their return to the car, both suspects physically assaulted victim Garcia by striking him in the head several times," Early wrote. "Gonzales then displayed a handgun, put it to victim Garcia's head and repeatedly threatened to kill him. Suspect Sanchez displayed a large knife, put it to victim Garcia's throat and also repeatedly threatened to kill him."
Forced into the backseat, Garcia was held at knifepoint as Gonzales drove Garcia's car into a heavily wooded area. Garcia was ordered out of the car, beaten, and his hands and feet bound with his own shoe laces.
The pair forced Garcia to write a check for $400, Early alleged. While Sanchez guarded him at knifepoint, Gonzales left in Garcia's car to cash the check, according to the complaint. As night began to fall, Gonzales returned in the Navigator, picked up Sanchez and the bound Garcia and headed to the West Park Inn on Outlet Drive, the agent alleged.
"Once in the room, the suspects bound Garcia with torn bed sheets and tied soda cans containing coins to his wrist bindings so that they would be alarmed if Garcia tried to escape," the complaint stated.
For the next nine days, Garcia was held captive and tortured. He was beaten, cut and burned. He wasn't allowed to bathe or change clothes.
"Sanchez burned or heated the blade tip of his knife and burned Garcia with its hot tip," the complaint alleged. "The suspects also, at various times, threatened Garcia with a gun, a knife and a 2-by-4 piece of lumber. Garcia was forced to write numerous additional checks totaling approximately $17,600."
There is little doubt that Garcia suffered mightily, according to the complaint. His hands and arms grew so numb from his bindings that he had to practice writing his signature just to get it right, the complaint stated.
"The suspects also forced Garcia to arrange various payments of cash money from Garcia's friends and/or associates to apparent associates of Gonzales," the complaint stated.
The pair are accused of extorting a total of $27,000.
Garcia also was subjected to psychological torture, the agent wrote.
For instance, the suspects claimed to be members of "the Mexican mafia" and forced Garcia to speak over the phone to "someone referred to by the suspects as El Comandante, whom the suspects seemed to regard as their superior," the complaint alleged. "El Comandante also repeatedly threatened Garcia with beatings and death, and Garcia's family with death."
He demanded $200,000 and spoke "using code words" the pair claimed referred to "various torture techniques."
Garcia was ordered to tell his wife he had abandoned her, Early alleged.
"Garcia was also forced to place a monitored telephone call to his wife in which he was forced to say that he had left her for another woman so she would not call the police," Early wrote.
Sanchez served as guard, holding Garcia at knifepoint during his captivity, the complaint alleged. Gonzales, Early said, came and went. On June 21, Gonzales gave Sanchez a hand-held video game that would prove to be Garcia's savior, the complaint stated.
"Sanchez played the video game virtually all day that day and much of the night," Early wrote.
Garcia used the distraction as an opportunity to loosen his bindings. When the exhausted gamer fell asleep, Garcia bolted, running from the room to the hotel office, screaming, "They are trying to kill me," Early wrote.
The suspects fled but left behind a treasure trove of evidence, including a knife with a burned tip, blood on torn sheet bindings, paper showing Garcia's trial runs at writing his signature, Western Union receipts showing transfers of cash to Mexico, a chunk of wood, fingerprints and lots of take-out food containers, Early wrote.
Garcia himself was a chief piece of evidence. His body was battered, bloodied, bruised, burned and slashed. He reeked from days without bathing.
Paez and her sister eventually were charged with theft and forgery. Both denied knowing Garcia was held captive, although Garcia has told authorities he heard Paez's voice just outside the room several times during his stint as a hostage.
It was not immediately clear Wednesday the status of state charges against the Paez sisters.

Thanks for posting the image. When I was thinking about future images I thought about Mark. Glad you picked her.
In this image its the eyes. The eyes of the girl frighten me a little. I don't know if I want to know the experiences behind those eyes. They look far older then the real age of the girl. The boy(?) perhaps for a moment pretending to be someone else, wishing to be someone else.
I always go back and forth on the issue of exploitation with this type of photography. I remeber seeing Diane Arbus' images of institutionalized retarded adults for the first time 20 years ago and being sort of shocked.
Now when I look at them I see a certain innocence and diginity in the people photographed. They seem today to be very caring images.

With the Champions Trophy just around the corner training has stepped up a few gears. All the boys realise the importance of this tournament and to have it on home soil makes it easy to train a little harder, run a bit longer and push ourselves further in the hope that come December 2nd we are ready to take on the World's best teams!
Over the last week we have had the out of town boys join us in Auckland and we have upped our training volumes both in the gym and on the pitch. We have another hard week of training ahead before we head to the Hawkes Bay for our Olympic induction weekend, I think that by Friday we will welcome the time off over the weekend and enjoy a bit of time to relax and soak in everything the Hawkes Bay has to offer.
In the lead up to Champions Trophy we have warm up games against Spain and England. Both these teams are on the other side of the draw so are ideal for us to play going into the tournament. Playing these games is great for our preparation as it identifies areas that we need to work on and where gains can be made.
We have a tough draw with Germany, Holland and Korea in our pool, but we are confident that we have the skills to manage these teams. We are currently doing some workshops to make sure that we are aware of each teams strengths and weaknesses. This is so that when we play them we know exactly what our roles and responsibilites are.
We are hoping for some huge home support when the tournament gets started so make sure you get to www.ticketmaster.co.nz and get your tickets for what will be the best week of hockey NZ has ever seen!

Eskom: Soweto debt stands at R3.3bnComment on this story
The electricity debt in Soweto amounts to R3.3 billion, Eskom said on Wednesday.
This was excluding the interest owed, spokeswoman Hillary Joffe said.
"The payment level in Soweto is well below 20 cents. This is a historical problem, and in a sense a political problem," said Joffe.
Residents in the area were paying less than 20 cents for every R1 of electricity supplied to them.
Eskom supplies electricity directly to Soweto.
Joffe said there were many other areas which got electricity directly from the power utility, but this payment issue was specific to Soweto.
"This level of non-payment and accumulation of debt is a Soweto issue," she said.
"There are other townships and areas we (Eskom) supply where payment is above 80c."
Eskom had been speaking with its partners and the department of public enterprise to try find a solution.
"We've been developing a integrated strategy to try to curb the growing debt and promote safe and legal electricity use."
Joffe said Eskom supplied direct electricity to 40 percent of consumers in the country.
The majority of its customers used pre-paid meters. However, the majority of people in Soweto still had conventional meters.
"(This) runs up debt," she said. - Sapa
