The Love Love Pashmina Store: Quality Pashminas in Pokhara
If like myself you are a bit overwhelmed when trying to shop for a Pashmina then a good place to purchase a Quality Pashminas in Pokhara is The Love Love Pashmina Store.
Mrs Singh, the Proprietor will take time to explain all the different qualities of Pashminas, and believe me there are Lots of different qualities and therefore different prices.
From 100% Pashminas. To Water Pashminas, From Cotton Pashmina mixes to Silk Pashmina mixes, Single sided and double sided, Different Quality Pashmina depending on whereabouts exactly the wool comes from, Different weights and qualities, It All totally overwhelmed me but Mrs Singh managed to put things in perspective and gave me a better idea on what Pashmina buying is all about :-)
Her store is located in lakeside, Pokhara, Heading away from the centre in the direction of Damside before you get to the Royal Palace.
Her prices are fair, You might find cheaper elsewhere But not the same Quality.
My recommendation is If you are looking for a Quality Pashmina then Definitely go to The Love Love Pashmina Store
2015 Update
I was recently sent a link to this YouTube Video where the person who posted it claims to have been ripped off by The Love Love Pashmina Store – All I can say is that I have been very happy with my own purchases there and whether this video is genuine, or one that has been produced in conjunction with a competitor to try and discredit The Love Love Pashmina Store, I Really Can't say.
But it the light of this, I would say, Double Check everything you buy to ensure that you don't fall prey to any scams – if indeed there is a scam in the first placeRelated to:

Bagh Chal or Tiger Game originated in Nepal and is normally a board game for two players but you can buy a rather nice looking set made from metal and the tigers and goats can be stored inside the metal box. One player controls the 4 tigers while the other controls the 20 goats which try to prevent the tigers from hunting them. The board consists of a 5 x 5 point grid with diagonal lines also, which the pieces are allowed to move on. Basically at the start of the game the tigers are placed on the 4 corners and the goats are off of the board. When the game begins the goats are placed one at a time on the free intersections, but the goats cannot move until all 20 goats are placed on the board.(20 plays for each player) Players take turns and the goats are removed if a tiger can jump over a goat in to a free space.
The Tigers win if they capture 5 goats
The goats win if they block all the tigers from moving.
I bought this game quite a few years ago and it is on display in the house, where so many people have asked questions and wanted to try playing the game.
Do you buy your trekking gear at home or in Nepal
Down jackets and Down Sleeping-Bags represent excellent value, OK the quality is not quite as good as you might find in the "West" But they still keep you Very Warm – the only down-side is that you may well look like a chicken yourself as they do tend to shed a few feathers ;-)
If you are only going to use your Down jacket and Down Sleeping-Bag for one trek then you also have the option of hiring them, Most trekking shops in both Kathmandu and Pokhara hire out trekking gear.
You can find an adequate pair of trekking poles for less than $10 for a pair – I took my own "Replica Leki" on a thousand mile walk this year and it is still as good as new
One of my trek-mates once bought a Chinese "Therma-Rest" copy for about $50 and the quality of that was surprisingly good, it even had a brass valve.
Lots of rip-off "Gortex" equipment – it will keep you dry enough but don't expect it to breath, but again you can get an adequate waterproof outer shell for less than $25.
As for "Technical" equipment, wick-away underwear, boots and water filters, I would say that you would probably be better off brining your own or buying what you need before it before you leave your home country.Related to:

"Sportswear International": Trekking Gear shop in Kathmandu – Buy or Hire
I discovered another great trekking gear shop on my 2012 trip that I can recommend both for hiring and buying trekking gear – This is "Sportswear International" – Located on the same road as Nirmal's office but a couple of hundred meters to the north.
Bam, the owner has his own factory and own label "Hi-Himal" – His sleeping bags are excellent and represent great value for money both for hire or to buy
Prices to hire start from as little as 60NPR per day and to buy from 9.000NPR (Just over $100)
Down jackets are also available to hire with prices to hire start from as little as 50NPR per day and to buy from 4.000NPR (Less than $50)
On top of these already good daily hire prices, Bam will also give a small discount for longer treks (Usually a month or more)
Normally there is no need for either a deposit or is there a cleaning charge (Unless excessive soiling has occurred)
If you have any problem finding this shop than pop into HMA and one of the office staff there will happily take you to the shop.
I am Sure you will be more than happy with anything you decide to buy or hire from "Sportswear International"Related to:

The Nirvana Art Gallery: Paintings by local artists
For many years I have looked at paintings by local artists on display in the galleries in and around Thamel and this year finally splashed out and bought one myself.
The photo is of the painting I chose, Ama Dablam and the old bride below Tengboche and if I say so myself it is a beautiful painting.
I chose The Nirvana Art Gallery, which is on the same street as The Kathmandu Guesthouse, same side of the road as you head towards Durbar Square.
Lots of paintings to choose from (This was the hardest part – Selecting the painting) and I thought that the prices were fair.
These painting make a wonderful souvenir as well as providing work for local artists, so buying one is a Good thing to do :-)
What to pay: Prices vary by artist and size as well as your negotiating skills, I bought a wonderful large acrylic on canvas for around $60Related to:

Tibetan singing bowls make a unique gift or souvenir for yourself. Singing bowls go back 3000 years and were used in meditation, relaxation and music and even psychotherapists. You can either strike the singing bowl with a padded mallet or rubbing a piece of wood around the rim of the bowl, which will produce a harmonic sound or a continual vibration which gives a continuous 'singing' sound.
Nepal is a wonderful place to shop for souvenirs, as the streets of Kathmandu are lined with many shops. Among the items i have purchased are small silver jewellery items, colourful bags, waistcoats, shirts, and thangkas which are all light and easy to pack in your luggage. But apart from that there is Tibetan jewellery, metal and wooden objects, rice paper and dolls. On my many visits to Nepal i have always purchased too much and find myself offloading books, shoes and clothes to accommodate my new acquisitions.
" Fuji Money Changer ": Changing money in Kathmandu ??
Not exactly a shopping tip but I couldn't find a suitable page to put this one on !!??
Changing money in Kathmandu -- There are literally 1000's of money changers but my tip would be to try " Fuji Money Changer " on Thamel Chouk, I found P K Bhattachan the manager a good guy to deal with and if you are changing a largish amount of money then they are willing to give you a better rate than advertised -- give them a try !!
2006 -- I was back in this, My Favourite Money Changer in Kathmandu and Yes -- He Again gave me a better rate that All of his competitors -- See if he will do the same for you !! -- Happy Travels in Nepal -- Rob
I was back at Fuji Money Changer again this year (2008) and pleased to report that their exchange rate are still the best that I was able to find in Kathmandu
I was back changing my money at a better than average rate with Mr Fuji on my 2012 trip ;-)Related to:

Best email /Internet outlet in Thamel
There are literally 1.000's of internet outlets in Thamel, some of them have good connections and some of them have Slow connections, some of them have good computers and keyboards and some of them not so good !!
Prices also vary Greatly !!
So the trick is finding a good one with good computers and keyboards, a good connection and air Price.
I have used the same place for the last 8 years and haven't found better, Prices are 20NPR per hour, Good computers and keyboards and a good connection.
Located on the cross street that heads away from Hot Breads / Le Bistro (Same street as The Kathmandu Guesthouse) in the direction of Thamel Chowk and The Royal Palace. On the right hand side towards the end of the street.
They also offer a great laundry service which I use when in Kathmandu, a lot cheaper than hotels, reliable too !!Related to:

Fishtail Book Shop: Second Hand Books in Pokhara
I'd like to recommend Fishtail Book Shop in Pokhara. If you are looking for second hand guides (Lonely Planes, Footprint etc) that;s the best place to go - as they have the most reasonable prices (have checked prices in 3 or 4 other book shops) .
What to buy: Second hand guides.
Tailors' shops: Nepal's own weave - Dhaka cloth
What to buy: Dhaka cloth is very popular among Nepalis and is traditionally used in folksy women's blouses and shawls and men's caps (topi). The weave is rather intricate and detailed and appears quite on the geometrical side at close range. Color focus is on red, white,green, all in rather subdued colors.
Buy by the metre and take home for your own design/fit at the home tailor's or get a garment made in Nepal. Topis are everywhere to be found, but you might find the best selection in Kathmandu's Asan road and it side alleys.
What to pay: A range of prices depending on quality, all affordable. Solicit local assistance when choosing pattern, quality and finding the cost. Normally sol per metre. If asked more than 500 Rs per metre you are being seriously cheated in a regular tailor's shop, but in artsy shops you may be finding something special at that price and above.Related to:

Holyland HikingShop (old "Woodlands"): "Repair 2" plus by order sports clothing.
Holy Land produces its own brand sporting goods, sells and buys old and new goods.
In addition, they do repairs, and they do it well and inspired.
Their business is rooted in a sister trekking company, so thier equipment is tested (on Everest, to, if that is a good enough measure).
The quality sign for such shops are seams and zippers. These two things are the first to go. Good thread is apparently the most difficult item to buy cheaply for production in Nepal. This shop's ones are strong enough, thanks to good quality choise of materials and a good workshop with excellent employees. They have never disappointed me.
The proprietor is Baden Thulunge Rai.
What to buy: I have bought helmet, Swiss army knives, Leki hiking staffs, bags, fixed my backpacks here and a host of other things.
I also brought a sketch of a tent I wanted to have made, and it has been great.
They produce according to order, in a very professional manner, everything from down jackets, shell jackets of any quality you want (fabrics is imported), sleeping bags to backpacks and toiletries bags etc.
You will probably find larger shops with better selections in Kathmandu, but try this one also for good service and quality.
What to pay: It's quite cheap, most of it, except what comes directly imported from Europe or the US. Second hand expedition gear is ok, locally produced goods, repairs and made-by order is according to the fabrics chosen, by and large very cheap.
Patan Handicraft Cooperative Center: Nepali Handicraft Shop With Good Quality
My Newari friend(My nepal homestay host family !) is one of the member of the cooperation(Shop).

I made up the Map of the shop on my website.

Nepal is growing good coffee
Nepal is maturing as a coffee grower and it's organic production based on small home plantations has really taken off. The most important places are the hills in the central parts of the country from a bit west of Pokhara to the hills east of Kathmandu. The quality and taste is really good, and you will enjoy good memories of Nepal along with a refreshing good cup of coffee. I do bring coffee home on every trip.
Note that when you get coffee served in private homes of roadside stalls it is very weak and taken nearly the same way as tea. You find better coffees at speciality shops in the cities.
What to buy: What to buy is up to the individual buyer's taste and preference, of course, so little is to be said in a general recommendation about this. I prefer medium and dark roast, the common bean is the Arabica, and I prefer to bring the whole beanns, vacuum packed back home. Brands that I have tested are Everest Coffee, Machhapuchhare Flying Bird, and I generally fin coffee from Palpa district tasty.
What to pay: The well packed ones meant for the upmarket and tourist market segments is expensive in Nepali terms, my last filter coffee purchase was NPR 280 for 200g dark roast. Definitely cheaper than my home price.Related to:

Banking, money exchangers etc.: Handling money matters in Nepal
Upon landing in Nepal, exchange sufficient money at TIA to get you a taxi into town, a room deposit and a beer, say 50 USD or so. The TIA exchange counter's rate is bad. Once settled in a hotel, go to the nearest exchange counter (not hotel, they add an extra fee as well) and do the main exchange. It is also a good idea to use visa cards at ATMs - that's the absolutely best way to handle money. ATMs are comeing up everywhere in small towns and urban centres. Personally, I always carry a stack of EUR or USD for hard-currency payments (local flights etc), and pay other bills in rupees withdrawn on a visa card. I use one visa bank card and one visa bank card, using mostly the credit card when shopping for safety's sake (you et your money back if things go awry on credit cards, but with a bank card you lay your account open for theft). If you pay services and goods by card, the credit card fee slapped on is quite high - I have been asked charges up to 20% "because I have to use the machine of a friend". Master card, Diners, Amex is less used for money transactions in Nepal than Visa. For large amounts, 50.000 Rs upwards, take your card to a bank counter and withdraw. In this way you minimize the exchange fees and trouble and time it takes to deal with banking. If you handle big amounts you may end up taking too much hard currency into into Nepal, and that's not good either - for you, as it might happen.Related to:

She is well known in her region and highly supported by her customers.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is helping support a borrower who is under age 30. Because many young people lack business experience or established credit histories, it can be even more difficult for them to access financial services. By funding this youth loan, you are expanding opportunity for a young person with limited resources.
About Al Majmoua – Lebanese Association for DevelopmentThe Lebanese Association for Development – Al Majmoua is Lebanon's leading microfinance institution and the oldest Kiva partner in Lebanon. Al Majmoua's vision is to "be the leader in creating an inclusive financial system where all people in Lebanon have access to affordable services." Given Lebanon's diverse population, Al Majmoua lends to all nationalities, provided legal residency. The strong financial position achieved to date has allowed Al Majmoua to steadily lower its pricing over the years.
Based on the belief that non-financial services play a complementary role in improving the quality of life of the most vulnerable entrepreneurs, Al Majmoua has established a solid Business Development Services program for both borrowers and non-borrowers with a focus on women and youth.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Aromatic, strong and spicy-- similar to thyme, but slightly more bitter-- winter savory can be used much like its annual relative, summer savory-- with beans and vegetables, meats, fish and poultry.
Botanical name: Satureja montana L.
Native of the Mediterranean region, there are about 14 species of the genus Satureia, a member of the mint (Lamiacea) family. Winter savory (Satureja montana) is a semi-woody, semi-evergreen perennial, grown like summer savory for its use in the kitchen. It has dark green, leathery leaves and the slender stem is covered with little hairs. The small, fragrant flowers are white.
Like its relative, summer savory, winter savory has been enjoyed as a seasoning for over 2000 years. According to legend, the savory plants belong to the half-man, half-goat creatures known as satyrs (hence the name savory). The Saxons, on the other hand, named the plant savory because of its spicy, distinct taste. Used extensively in Roman dishes, the poet Virgil suggested growing it near beehives because of the wonderful honey that would result. The Romans used it extensively in their cooking, often to flavor vinegars. Savory was introduced to England during Caesar's reign, and it quickly became popular as a medicine and also as a cooking herb.
It's likely that savory was first cultivated in Italy. Herbalist Nicholas Culpeper, in the 17th century, wrote that the savories were valuable for their "heating, drying and carminative (action), expelling wind from the stomach and bowels and are good in asthma and other affections of the breast." He recommended its use in conserves and syrups and for pregnant women. Shakespeare, in The Winter's Tale , mentions savory along with lavender and marjoram, The herbalist John Parkinson, in the 17th century, wrote how savory was dried and powdered and mixed with bread crumbs 'to breade their meate, be it fish or flesh, to give it a quicker relish." Early American settlers grew savory in their gardens, as they had in England. American settler John Josselyn wrote about savory in his book New England Rarities, in 1672.
Directions: Winter savory is a bit stronger than summer savory until cooked. It's best used toward the end of cooking because it loses flavor with heat.
Suggested Uses: Try winter savory in marinades, salads, and sautés. Add it to meat (especially turkey and pork), poultry, fish, egg, and cheese dishes. Add it to soups (especially chicken, beef, and any creamy soups), tomato sauce, salads, chutneys, and dressings (especially vinaigrettes). It combines nicely with other seasonings (especially thyme and sage) and it's often boiled with beans and peas. It's also commonly found in stuffings, meat pies, and salami. Winter savory enhances many vegetables-- like asparagus, eggplant, peas, onions, cabbage, squash, and Brussels sprouts.
Winter savory is native to Southern Europe and is cultivated in Albania and other parts of Europe. Our non-organic winter savory comes from Albania, where it grows wild.
Our Argentina Well Earth partner is the only producer of true organic winter savory that we have been able to find. The plants start blooming in late December and are hand weeded one last time in January. This assures the winter savory field is weed-free before the tops are machine harvested in January or February. The freshly harvested winter savory is hand spread on trays and dried using additional heat to dry the herb quickly and preserve the natural flavor and aroma.

13-Year-Old dies after accidental shooting
Related Story
PRAIRIEVILLE - A 14-year-old boy was arrested in the alleged accidental shooting death of a 13-year-old boy, according to the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office.
Lt. Col. Bobby Webre says 13-year-old Christian Crain was shot in the head while playing with two other teens in a bedroom at 14269 Oak Meadow St.
The 14-year-old confessed to smoking marijuana, accidentally shooting Crain and disposing of the gun in the backyard of the mobile home.
The gun used in the shooting was stolen from a vehicle in a nearby neighborhood a few days before the shooting, according to Webre.
The juvenile was booked into the St. James Detention Center on charges of negligent homicide, possession of a stolen firearm, possession of a handgun by a minor and possession of marijuana.
Judy Himel, 44, Danielle Gaudin, 25 and 18-year-old Devin Himel were booked into the Ascension Parish Jail charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The investigation is ongoing and additional charges may be forthcoming.

White: I used to beat the $#~^ out of Tito Ortiz
UFC president Dana White conducted a private screening recently of the new eight-episode series "The Fighters" that airs tonight on Discovery Channel. The reality television series focuses on amateur boxers from rival South Boston gyms.
White too was an amateur boxer from Boston in his youth, and at one point in 2007 was supposed to fight UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz for charity. Ortiz ultimately no showed the weigh in, the White recalled the run up to it.
"I still box every day," said White as transcribed by MMAFighting. "I boxed this morning. I box every day."
"You know what pisses me off the most about that thing? Is I brought in real guys. I brought in heavyweight guys to spar with me for that thing. And I got the living s--- punched out of me for four months getting ready for that fight. Real guys. One of the guys, the main guy I sparred with, is fighting this weekend, and he's ranked heavyweight.
"How many of you guys ever saw that old movie for the '80s Twelve O'Clock High where the guys's going to get his ass kicked after school and he keeps looking at the clock trying to get out of this fight? I'm not s----ing you. I'm 37 years old when this thing's going down. I'm sitting in my office every day going 'Oh my god. It's f---ing two o'clock. This guy's are going to be here in an hour.'"
"These guys are 22, 24 years old. I'm 37 doing all the UFC s---, then going down and sparring with these guys. My nose got busted up. I got the s--- kicked out of me getting ready for that thing."
"I had to go through all the stuff with the commission, which I still to this day believe, it created a lot of bad animosity between me and the commission trying to get licensed for that fight. Right. But they did it. They licensed me. I went through all the medical testing, everything, and then Tito ends up bailing on that thing the day of the weigh-ins."
"And believe me. I'm not trying to sound like a tough guy and I don't talk about the thing a lot, but I was ready, in great shape and Tito bailed on that thing because Tito knew he was going to get his ass whooped on national television."
So does White regret it?
"Yes!" White said. "If I could go back in time, I wouldn't do it. If I knew Tito was going to bail out of the thing, I would've never done it. I had to go have nose surgery after all that stuff, getting ready for that fight. I was sparring with real guys. I brought in real pro heavyweights, young guys that were literally beating the s--- out of me every day. It was not fun.
"But I said I'd do it and I always keep my word and I showed up for the weigh-ins and I was ready to go."
A reporter then asked White if he thinks Bellator made a huge mistake signing Ortiz. Although White and Tito have had their differences, White came to the fighter's defense.
"Well, the difference with Tito Rampage is Tito really did get legitimately hurt before the fight with Rampage," saod White. "The reality with me is Tito knew. Tito knew. Tito had Jenna Jameson call negotiating like two weeks before the fight that he wanted to switch it to no head gear. Because this was supposed to be an amateur fight. So he wanted to switch to no head gear. I said, 'Fine. We'll go no head gear.' They wanted to switch to 8 ounce gloves. I said, 'Ok, we can do 8 ounce gloves.'"
"The reality is I used to beat the living s--- out of Tito Ortiz, back when we first bought this company and we used to box."
"Now, if Tito would've made this an MMA fight, I would've never said yes because Tito would murder me. He would double leg me, elbow my face off, and rip my head right off my shoulders, in an MMA fight.
"That's not what he asked for. He asked for a boxing match with me and I would've beat the living s--- out of Tito. And he knows it and that's why he didn't do it."
"So... Any other questions?"

You're totally right. That sequence was amazing. Check smelled blood and Tito tried to block the killshots without countering. Could be one of those thing where he trained so hard to keep the cage around his head up, that he forgot he had to fight back when getting blitz attacked. The boxer Arthur Abraham gets away with covering up and not throwing because he hits so hard that guys are reluctant to throw combos at him out of fear of the counter. Tito never managed to get Chuck's respect in the first fight. Damn, that was fun when it was happening.

On the morning of April 29, a day after the tumultuous Lakers were swept away by the Spurs and the powerhouse Heat pulled out the brooms on the Bucks, Sports Illustrated started off everyone's day with a story that would shock the world:
Jason Collins, 12 year NBA veteran who's set to be a free agent this summer, is gay.
"I didn't set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I'm happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn't the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, "I'm different." If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I'm raising my hand," says Collins in Sports Illustrated.
Collins is the first active gay athlete, but not the first to have come out in the NBA, in fact his predecessor, John Amaechi, a former center for the Jazz in the 90's, came out six years ago. BBC reported Amaechi had known about Collins being gay for quite some time and thinks he is the perfect spokesperson for gay athletes.
But while Collins's responses have been mostly positive and supportive, Amaechi faced a much varied reaction, especially from his NBA peers. Tim Hardaway, the inventor of the killer crossover and former Warriors guard, now an advocate for gay rights, voiced a much harsher opinion when Amaechi first came out.
""I hate gay people…I don't like to be around gay people. I'm homophobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world for that or in the United States for it. So yeah, I don't like it," Hardaway said on the Dan Le Batard Show.
But of all the reactions and opinions voiced by various personalities, and even before the Collins story had come out, the talented forward from the Denver Nuggets, Kenneth Faried, may have helped smoothen the road for Collins by being the first NBA player to join Athlete Ally, an organization aimed at combating homophobia in sports.
Faried, a practicing Muslim, grew up in the mean streets of New Jersey, but according to his mother, Waudda, as reported in the Denver Post, she, her wife, and Faried's biological father take full credit for his hustle and strong play, not the streets. Seeing as he was raised by two gay mothers, Faried's inclusion into Athlete Ally is by no means a coincidence.
"I have two moms and I love them both very much," Faried said, in a statement released by Athlete Ally. "I respect, honor and support them in every way. The bond I have with them has made me realize that I want all members of the LGBT community—whether they are parents, players, coaches or fans—to feel welcome in the NBA and in all of our communities."
As of this moment, Faried and his Nuggets are back in the Mile High City after being eliminated in the first round by the Warriors, but the future is extremely bright for him and his team as he continues to excel on and off the court.

Economic fascism stunts US recovery
So what must be done? At the very least, the U.S. needs to engage in protectionism in order to shield itself from unfair trade measures and currency manipulation from China. But this will never happen so long as the U.S. is controlled by a fascist regime. Instead, corporate profits will be placed ahead of domestic jobs. Accordingly, as long as the U.S. continues to embrace its fascist trade policy, there will no real recovery from the current depression for the vast majority of Americans."As the global economy continues to weaken, more economists have been focusing on China due to its dominant position in global trade. Indeed, the U.S.-China trade relationship has become particularly significant over the past decade. Chinese imports are found on nearly every shelf of every store in the U.S. As you can imagine, the availability of these inexpensive imported goods from China feeds the insatiable appetite of U.S. consumers. Accordingly, because consumer spending is responsible for about two-thirds of the U.S. economy, many tend to believe that this trade relationship is a one-way street with China as the victor. However, China remains much more dependent on the U.S. than many realize. Ever since entering the World Trade Organization in 2001, China has risen to become the global leader in export trade. But its economic dominance has not been the result of special skills held by Chinese laborers. Trade liberalization and other economic changes initiated during the 1980s enabled China to organize and leverage its labor force. By the 1990s, radical shifts in global trade policy would soon embolden China as a vital member of the global economy. China's rapid ascent as an economic powerhouse has also been the result of numerous government subsidies which have provided domestic firms with significant advantages over their foreign rivals. As well, China has permitted slave labor conditions which have further exploited differences in trade policy with its trading partners.
Finally, reckless consumerism in the U.S. has fueled the demand required to keep much of the Chinese export engine running. This latter dynamic has also contributed to the loss of millions of American jobs. Wall Street analysts and economists working at the "most prestigious" universities have labeled the trend of millions lost jobs in the U.S. as "creative destruction" in order to mask the malignant nature of U.S. trade policy.Irrespective of the collateral damage done to the U.S. economy, the U.S.-China trade relationship has enabled China to amass an enormous current account surplus due to its increasingly large trade surplus. This has generated a large pool of cash. What does China do with all of the cash generated from this trade surplus? Some of it goes towards its enormous sovereign wealth fund. But the majority of this cash, compliments of U.S. consumers, is held in U.S. Treasury securities. This financial strategy has several advantages. For instance, since China's trade surplus with the U.S. is already in dollars, by investing in U.S. Treasury securities China can receive interest payments compliments of Uncle Sam. In this manner, China can avoid the various risks associated with foreign currency transactions. Consequently, many critics have likened China's ownership of U.S. Treasuries to America being "owned by China." The argument backing this claim is that because China owns so much U.S. debt, it could dump these Treasury securities at any time, thereby causing interest rates in the U.S. to soar. However, this scenario is highly unlikely for a variety of reasons. First, China would have to own a very large percentage of U.S. Treasuries. Next, China would also have to sell these securities over a short time frame. Finally, there would need to be a very low demand for these securities once China dumped them into the bond market. Here, I am going to show that China does not hold as much U.S. debt as most people think. Next, I'm going to demonstrate that China would be extremely unlikely to dump (that is, sell the majority of its position over a short time period) the U.S. Treasury securities that it owns. Finally, I am going to make the argument that even if China did hold a sufficiently large amount of U.S. Treasury securities and planned to dump them, at least two prominent nations would step in to buy as much as would be required to stabilize the U.S. government bond market and thus U.S. interest rates. How Much U.S. Debt Does China Own? Before we can determine the amount of influence China holds over the U.S. economy, we need to determine the percentage of U.S. Treasury securities owned by China. The total outstanding national debt of the U.S. is nearly $16.5 trillion. Of this amount, foreign nations own $5.43 trillion, or about one-third of the total. The remaining two-thirds are owned domestically in the form of pension plans, endowments, financial firms, insurance companies and individuals. Okay, so how much U.S. debt does China own? Of the $5.43 trillion outstanding debt held by foreigners, $1.153 trillion or about 20% is held by China. That's certainly a sizable amount of foreign debt. But it only represents about 6% of the total U.S. sovereign debt burden; not exactly a huge amount. In fact, I argue it's not large enough to cause much more than a short-term rise in interest rates if China were to dump its entire holdings. But let's assume this amount were significant enough to cause some real damage. After all, we keep hearing how China is selling off U.S. Treasuries, right? Is China Selling U.S. Treasury Securities? Over the past few years, many individuals who have been selected by the Western media as "credible experts" have insisted that China is selling U.S. Treasury securities. They have forged this myth into the minds of their audience in order to create panic and fear. As they issue dire warnings regarding the "imminent complete collapse of the U.S. dollar," they have even compared the United States to Zimbabwe. After instilling fear and panic into their victims, these charlatans insist that "everyday Joes" trade in their dollar savings accounts for gold, silver and even the euro. Sadly, many Americans have followed this horrendous advice. This propaganda campaign has been just one aspect of the hyperinflation scenario painted by these charlatans. However, as the data reveals, China is not reducing its holdings of U.S. Treasury securities. Moreover, hyperinflation in the U.S. is virtually impossible so long as the petrodollar exists. These ridiculous claims and irresponsible recommendations have come from gold and silver manipulators, and foreign currency hacks, or what I consider to be nothing less than con artists. Their only agenda is to artificially pump up the price of gold and silver and build up commissions for precious metals dealers and currency brokers. Their ridiculous sales pitch is broadcast on major televised networks on a daily basis, and often repeated by others on radio shows and blogs. Most people tend to accept ideals that are repeated, especially when the same message comes from a variety of sources. As they attempt to scare Main Street with exaggerated claims and sensationalism, these snake oil salesmen never bother to mention the fact that currency trading is considered very speculative, and hence very risky. But their objective isn't to provide prudent, sound advice. The only thing they care about is taking your money. Greed has no conscious. The problem is that the media has not aired anyone who has truly challenged these ridiculous claims or the men behind them. The reason for this is simple. The media is being bought off by gold dealers and foreign currency firms in the form of advertising revenues. As a result, millions of people stand to get burned all while sending commissions to gold dealers and currency trading firms. To prove their point, these masters of propaganda have looked at short and insignificant periods of China's holdings of U.S. Treasuries and have concluded that the Red Dragon is selling its position. Fluctuations in bond positions over a one- or even six-month period do not tell us much because bonds are managed based on several macroeconomic variables. The only way to determine whether China is selling U.S. Treasury securities is to examine the longer-term trend. In the past I have shown that China is by no means selling U.S. Treasury securities. In fact, if you look at the trend in net holdings over the past few years, China's share of U.S. Treasury securities has actually soared. For instance, let's take a look at the period since the November 2008 financial crisis. Gold charlatans continue to insist that China has been selling U.S. Treasury securities over and over since 2009. Is this true? Let's look at the data from the U.S. Department of Treasury. In November 2008 when the financial crisis was at its peak, China held approximately $713 billion in U.S. Treasury securities. As of the most recent data through September 2012, China has increased its holdings of U.S. Treasury securities to $1155 representing an increase of about 62%. Furthermore, if we go back to January 2008 ($492 billion), China has actually increased its holdings of U.S. Treasury securities by over 234%. Previously, I made the claim that China did not own enough U.S. Treasuries to cause much of an impact even if it did decide to dump its entire position into the market. But let's assume that China accumulates a much larger stockpile of U.S. Treasury securities; say 30% of the total instead of its current 6%. Although I can guarantee you Washington would never let this happen, let's just assume for argument sake that it does. What would happen if China was foolish enough to dump these securities into the market? Would there be a sufficient number of buyers to soak up this excessive supply of U.S. Treasuries? And why do I claim China would be foolish to dump these securities? I'll get back to the second question later. Anyone who understands the global banking system will tell you that the U.K. and Japan stand ready to buy up U.S. Treasuries if they were dumped into the market. This is a fact known to every legitimate economist and banking executive in the U.S. Even Saudi Arabia would step up to the plate and soak up any excess supply of U.S. Treasuries if needed. I'll get back to Saudi Arabia's role in a future article. Why Does China Own U.S. Treasury Securities? Earlier I claimed that China would be foolish to dump U.S. Treasury securities. Now, I'm going to explain why this is the case. Part of the explanation involves understanding why China owns U.S. Treasury securities to begin with. There are two basic reasons accounting for China's ownership of U.S. Treasuries. First, China's trade surplus with the U.S. has continued to increase over the past several years. Since the trade surplus is denominated in U.S. dollars, it is much easier for China to keep the funds in dollar-denominated assets rather than to risk losses in the currency exchange market. Furthermore, U.S. Treasury securities remain as the safest investments in the world. So China can easily transform its trade surplus into safe securities that pay interest. I mentioned these points earlier. The second reason why China owns U.S. Treasuries is related to the intentional manipulation of its own currency, the Yuan. China has artificially suppressed the value of the Yuan relative to the dollar for many years now. Thus, it would suffer huge losses if it were to convert its trade surplus dollars into Yuan. Make no mistake. This currency manipulation is essential for China to maintain a significant edge in global export trade. If in fact the U.S. dollar was not the world's reserve currency, China might decide to sell its holdings of dollars and dollar-denominated assets due to various macroeconomic risks. But the dollar remains as the safe haven currency for a variety of reasons, although gold charlatans would have you believe otherwise. Let's expand this scenario. Even if China owned a large percentage of U.S. debt and decided for some reason to dump these securities, and even if the U.K. and Japan did not step up to the plate to buy them, the Federal Reserve and the Banking Cartel most certainly would. China's ownership of U.S. treasuries is mutually beneficial There are even more benefits that come from China's support for U.S. Treasury securities. By holding and even buying more U.S. Treasuries, China helps keep interest rates low in the U.S. This in turn keeps the credit flowing to U.S. consumers so they can keep buying Chinese imports. Thus, China's investment in U.S. Treasury securities is mutually beneficial. In summary, China owns U.S. Treasury securities because this investment option offers a very safe and convenient way to deal with its trade surplus with the U.S. And its support for U.S. debt also serves to keep interest rates low in the U.S., which keeps the credit flowing to U.S. consumers, who buy Chinese imports. China relies heavily on Wall Street. Irrespective of this mutually beneficial financial arrangement, China remains highly dependent on the U.S. for much of its economic growth. Over the past two decades, China's blistering growth has been fueled by foreign investment, mainly from Wall Street. This relationship was made possible through the gradual privatization of Chinese corporations which began some two decades ago. Privatization of these formerly state-owned firms has enhanced their competitive position around throughout globe. Once these firms were privatized, they were able to receive foreign investment capital, majority of which has come from Wall Street in some form or another. Thus, without the continued influx of foreign investment capital, China's economy would come to a halt. In addition, if demand from Chinese imports from the U.S. stopped, China's economy would crater. From there, Chinese consumers would be required to pick up the slack. Even though Chinese consumers boast one of the highest savings rates in the world, it would take a great deal of effort by the government to transform the Chinese people into the kind reckless consumers seen in the United States. In order to understand the propensity of Chinese citizens to save more than they spend, one must understand a bit about Chinese culture. But from a purely economic standpoint, the Chinese people know that their economy is more vulnerable to global shocks than advanced economies. Therefore, they typically save a large portion of their income to protect them from an economic crisis. As well, China does not have an adequate social safety net or retirement system, so savings comprise a good deal of the economic security blanket of the typical Chinese citizen. So what does all of this mean? In contrast to what you may have heard from the media, the United States has a great deal of economic leverage over China as opposed to the other way around.
What's the relevance of this? I've already mentioned how these misconceptions have been plastered throughout the media by gold and foreign currency charlatans. But others are involved in this game of deception. For instance, talking heads posing as critics of America's fascist economy state that the U.S. cannot go up against the illegal practices being used by China to gain economic advantages over U.S. firms because China has too much leverage over the U.S. economy.Of course this is rubbish. The idea is to convince the public that this is true so that they will accept these illegal activities. But why would the U.S. go along with this? Because the economic dynamics created as a result of these activities benefit corporate America. How to stop the Hemorrhaging of U.S. Jobs Currently, the U.S. still holds the upper hand in the U.S.-China economic relationship. But there may come a day when this edge no longer exists. Thus, the U.S. must respond now while it holds a position of dominance. So what must be done? At the very least, the U.S. needs to engage in protectionism in order to shield itself from unfair trade measures and currency manipulation from China. But this will never happen so long as the U.S. is controlled by a fascist regime. Instead, corporate profits will be placed ahead of domestic jobs. Accordingly, as long as the U.S. continues to embrace its fascist trade policy, there will no real recovery from the current depression for the vast majority of Americans. Establishment economists insist that protectionism caused the Great Depression, but this is simply not true. They have used protectionism as a scape goat in order to advance their globalization agenda.
In reality, many of the same elements responsible for America's first Great Depression also led to the current Great Depression. In brief, both depressions resulted from the culmination of Wall Street fraud, lack of regulatory controls, and the knowledge held by the criminals that they would not be held accountable.In conclusion, China is certainly an important player in the U.S. economy, but the relationship is mutually beneficial. Furthermore, the U.S. holds the upper hand in this relationship due to the power of American consumers, as well as the massive foreign direct investment from Wall Street. So is there any nation that holds significant influence over the U.S. economy? One need only look to the Middle East and they will find the nuts and bolts of America's economic engine. It's commonly referred to as the petrodollar. It is a topic I will discuss in the near future. MS/JR

One of the city's earliest colonial homes now serves as a cultural center. Fully restored, its rooms are furnished with period antiques and a few well-chosen reproductions; original frescoes at the tops of the walls remain, and you can see patches of the painted "wallpaper" that once covered the walls, serving to simulate European trends in an environment where real wallpaper wouldn't adhere due to the humidity. There is a small coffee shop on-site, plus a gift shop selling products from Campeche. The Moorish courtyard is occasionally used as a space for exhibits and lectures. Activities occur here several evenings a week. Vivo Recuerdo, a musical/theater interpretation of Campeche's history, is presented Thursday through Sunday; Con Sabor a Chocolate, a chocolate-making demonstration, takes place on Friday and Saturday.

Philanthropy Provides Crucial Services
Magill, Sherry, The Florida Times Union
Byline: Sherry Magill, Nina Waters
Today, Jacksonville's community leaders will pause to recognize the importance of philanthropy in our community. Across the country, Philanthropy Day observances in November will lift up the importance of private charitable giving for the common good.
This year, we arrive at Philanthropy Day with the recent rancorous budget debate ringing in our ears.
With these issues still lacking long-term resolution, we remain concerned that elected officials are seriously considering unraveling a 100-year-old American tradition that incentivizes charitable giving and benefits millions of people. In jeopardy is the provision that allows taxpayers to deduct donations to nonprofits.
Roughly 20 percent of all taxpayers in Florida (1.9 million Floridians) use this incentive, which is designed to encourage donors to support worthy causes. Add up the donations they made to nonprofits in 2011, and it comes to an incredible $9.7 billion.
It's important to recognize that donors at all income levels itemize their deductions, not just the wealthy. In fact, more than half of Florida's taxpayers who use the charitable deduction earn less than $75,000 annually, and one-third earn less than $50,000.
North Florida is fortunate to be home to many people - past and present - who carry on the unique American tradition of charitable giving.
We have foundations willing to take a leadership role to encourage philanthropy and residents willing to dig deep into their pockets to help those who are less fortunate.
In fact, donors in the Jacksonville metro area give a larger proportion of their incomes to charity than those in much larger South Florida communities.
While elected officials in Washington express support for the value and impact of charitable giving, proposals on the table pose a real threat to incentives that encourage this kind of generosity. …

Garden of Life Raw Resveratrol 60 Vegetarian Capsules is a product that exemplifies three of the most fundamental and foundational principles in Garden of Life's philosophy on human health:
Whole Food Nutrition - When it comes to supplementation, Garden of Life offers nutrient-dense, whole food ingredients rather than synthetic nutrients.
The Power of Fermentation - Fermentation is an ancient tradition lost to most of us since the advent of refrigeration and the industrial food chain. Fermentation not only utilizes probiotic microorganisms to preserve food, but also creates novel, beneficial compounds while pre-digesting the food and liberating its valuable nutrients.
Raw Living Nutrients - Raw foods and botanicals are teeming with digestive enzymes that help the body break down and assimilate nutrients. Garden of Life is leading the raw nutrition movement and has developed an extensive offering of Raw supplements.
Raw Resveratrol is a Raw, fermented, whole food formula designed to provide you with powerful antioxidant support for healthy heart.
Garden of Life Raw Resveratrol is a powerful, whole food resveratrol formula, combining RAW fermented resveratrol, 23 RAW organically grown fruits and vegetables, including Cabernet Sauvignon Grapes, plus live probiotics and digestive enzymes. A synergistic blend of bioactive phytonutrients with a wide array of beneficial cofactors, RAW Resveratrol supports antioxidant activity, heart health and healthy aging. Raw Resveratrol is a highly potent source of polyphenols, providing 350 mg of trans-Resveratrol per serving, as much trans-resveratrol as in 200 bottles of red wine, supporting numerous systems, including the circulatory, respiratory, reproductive and digestive systems.

Harry Caray's Tavern To Close Next Week
(Photo: Harry Caray's Wrigleyville)
The landlord of the building occupying Harry Caray's Tavern in Wrigleyville is so unreasonable that the revered resto and bar is pulling out next week, according to accounts from CBS-2.
In a Chicago Tribune story, Harry Caray's Restaurant Group chief executive officer Grant DePorter compared the relationship with the building owner to "a bad marriage."
This just plain sucks.

Personally, I love this product. I have sensitive eyes, and this is great for them... never stings or burns. It's fast, and removes all of my makeup, I don't normally wear waterproof mascara, but I have tried it on that and it worked almost as well. I do wear waterproof eyeliner and it's a breeze to remove. I also LOVE that you don't have to since this off, and it doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy. I hate rinse off makeup removers, since I always have to wash my face after wards, I just use my face wash to get the makeup off. I have tried quite a few, from really cheap Avon, to Clinique... and I prefer this one. Have re-bought many times.

I'm rather disappointed in this product. It burns my eyes and it doesn't remove waterproof mascara very well. I only find it useful to remove eye shadows or other makeup that's easy to clean up.

I hated this remover! it really did not remove my make up easily and i ended up with redness around my eyes just cuz i had to scrub so much to get the make up off.
It also has a weird tingly sensation and not in a good way, it feels weird!
The packaging is rubbish too, when left slightly tilted, it leaks really badly.
Overall hated it!

I've been using this for over a year. I continually buy it at Walgreens over and over, because I haven't found anything I like better! I've used Lancome and more, but I keep coming back to this. My only complaint is that on Urban Decay's 24/7 Liner, it doesn't fully remove it, but I think it's the strength of the liner. I just can't get it fully removed in 1 session. But otherwise, I use a cotton ball with it and it takes off everything on my eyes :) Can't ask for anything more!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Curly, Medium

The only reason I would buy this again is because it does not burn my eyes even if i get it inside (well it burns a little but it s not bad at all). However I am not very impressed by this item, it does not take off my water proof mascara or eye liner well. I usually end up waken up with raccoon eyes in the morning even though i let the cotton pads sit on my eyes for a good minute.
I still like to use extra virgin olive oil but to be honest if you get some in your eyes it hurts like hell
Age: 44-55
Skin: Dry, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other

This is my HG eye makeup remover for non-waterproof formulas! I use it on a cotton pad and just hold over each eye for several seconds and then remove the eye makeup.
I have very sensitive eyes, and it is non-irritating to me and does a through job. I love this stuff!
However, the packaging is kind of cheap and the cap doesn't always seem to snap shut completely
Have repurchased anyway, numerous times..
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Not Sure

it's my favorite eye makeup remover next to almay pads. doesn't sting, really cheap, and lasts for a decent amount of time.

Nice remover for face makeup or eyeshadows. I need something stronger for removing waterproof mascara. But with this remover my face feels CLEAN! Rebuy Yes!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Other, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other

This makeup remover doesn't remove waterproof mascara AT ALL, nor eyeliner, Olive Oil does a better job even.. The remover seems like it's only water (has no smell or any oil), it's equal to using water to remove makeup, I don't like this ~
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure

This product does not take off waterproof eyeliner or regular eyeliner. Also it really burns and I hated this product. I did not even bother to finish it I just used it on other people when I do their makeup because I def. can not use it.
