Fourteen Robert P. Stiller School of Business students traveled to Shanghai in the summer of 2013 for internships as part of a prestigious $100,000 grant from the Freeman Foundation. Some of the students' internships evolved into full-time jobs post-graduation.
"As a result of my internship I've been asked to come back after I graduate and work in Shanghai for the same company," said senior international business major Patrick Dodge, who interned at Iconx skate shop and Wild Rampage. Dodge conducted further research for the company during his senior international business capstone is contemplating taking the offer to return working full-time.
The Freeman Foundation made this opportunity available to Champlain's Stiller School of Business for 10 students to intern in Shanghai in the summer of 2014. For the summer of 2015, Champlain's Stiller School of Business was the recipient of a $200,000 grant from the Freeman Foundation, allowing 25 students to complete internships in Shanghai.
This opportunity provided Champlain students a chance to gain international and professional experience. "Being accepted into this program was a major achievement," said senior international business major Alaina Cellini, who interned at Shanghai Hippo Animation Company for 10 weeks in the summer of 2013. Cellini utilized her interests in supply chain sustainability, marketing and consulting in the internship at China's leading animation company. "My three months in China were some of the most life changing ones thus far," she continued.
The grant provides a stipend towards normal expenses associated with a semester or summer internship in China. The grant covers room and board through The Education Abroad Network (TEAN); an internship placement fee; airfare to China; and students may budget for regional travel, food and other goods. Other expenses are out of pocket for students.
"We believe that we've built a successful internship model in China with the Freeman Foundation's generous grant and we're confident the 2015 program will provide incredibly successful and rewarding professional and personal experiences for the students," said Assistant Dean to the Stiller School of Business, Dr. Scott Baker. Baker believes this one-year grant was renewed "due to the incredible success of our programs in 2013 and 2014, which was implemented through extensive collaboration between the Stiller School, the Office of International Education, the Registrar's Office, and the Office of Advancement."
Students in the 2015 cohort will also participate in a two-week intensive language and cultural immersion program in Shanghai, aiming to enhance cultural competence prior to starting their internships. Their eight-week internships will start following the immersion program. This year's internships will be with proven partners from last year's program who all expressed interest in hosting more Stiller School of Business students. TEAN and Champlain College match students to internships based off of SSB Associate Professor Tom Myers' experience and relationships with the companies built during his visit to Shanghai in July 2013, and their majors and areas of interest. TEAN will also provide in-country support to students and program administrators from the time students arrive in Shanghai. Champlain faculty will be traveling to Shanghai in May and July to check in on the students, connect with internship supervisors and officials, and to help students upon their arrival and departure.

Taking away by whom or unto whom? Christ did not promise anybody He was going to take anybody away.
What is the tribulation? IF as Christ said I have foretold you all things would that not include how to NOT be taken in by or taken over by a tribulation. And IF as Christians we are followers of Christ and He set the standard and was completely and totally innocent yet gave His life for to all who would life eternal, would His followers be hunting for the 'safe' escapes. Didn't Christ say I give you power over your enemies?
Christ also said that *time* meaning the length of time allotted for the tribulation would be cut short. So as this time is reference to a woman in labor once that final stages begins only an intervention with medication slows it or stops it. Things will move very quickly once that time begins.
The mark already exists, it is what is in the mind that leads the peoples to received that mark. Christ called it deception.
Are you talking about The Twelve? Where does the Bible teach this? I cant seem to find anywhere where any of the apostles tribal affiliation is mentioned (except Paul). Since at least some of the apostles were from the region around Galilee ("of the Gentiles", cf. Mark 1:16), it unlikely there were all from Judah.
Its pretty clear just from reading the NT (and the OT as well) that the word "Israel" often means more than just the northern tribes. You apparently dont have a position on that truth. The entire nation was often referred to as "the house of Israel" (Ex. 16:31). This was the common usage at the time of Christ. When speaking to the woman of Canaan, Jesus told her, But He answered and said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." (Matt. 15:24). Jesus was ministering first to His Jewish brethren ("the house of Israel"), from which He called the Twelve and others, and not primarily to the surrounding gentile communities.
As much as I would like to engage you on this matter, serious discussion is difficult with this sort of defective starting point on your part.
I should have written House of Judah meaning NOT of the House of Israel.

Jesus was ministering first to His Jewish brethren ("the house of Israel"), from which He called the Twelve and others, and not primarily to the surrounding gentile communities.
The word Israel was first used when Jacob was renamed. Christ's usage of the 'lost sheep' of the House of Israel refers to a specific time after the civil war the two houses split and were identified as two different kingdoms. House of Israel and the House of Judah. One of the punishments for the whoring after other gods by the House of Israel would be they would forget who they were. And they are also called Ephraim as he was the largest of the ten tribes sent north to the Assyrian king. They have NOT returned and will not return until Christ Himself rejoins those two sticks. And the majority of them still do not know who they are, they are stilllllll lost. Christ identified who he was talking about when he used the term 'lost sheep'.
This is not about my point or having a point, it is to understand why the first instruction Christ would give to His disciples would be to go but to those lost sheep of the House of Israel.
When Christ gave this instruction these people He chose to be His disciples did not say Master where do we find these lost sheep of the House of Israel? So how did they know what and who Christ was talking about??? And why would Christ waste the time and words over a very short 3 1/2 year time frame of teaching, to make it the first instruction????
I can't take seriously people who downplay even the very WORDS that came from the mouth of Christ.
As much as I would like to engage you on this matter, serious discussion is difficult with this sort of defective starting point on your part.
They're planting, for now, microchips into animals and some people are having them done for information about their health conditions. What's to stop them from planting them in people without their permission some day? We have to be aware...
Perhaps egotism isn't the right word. I guess temporocentrism is more accurate. It just seems anyone interested in this topic always sees the end approaching rapidly.
It's like reincarnation buffs. They always seem to say they'd been born previously as Joan of Arc or Napolean. Never a postal clerk. I think seeing the end as near is simply more interesting.
Yes I do know microchips are being implanted in animals and humans. But the device does not make the mind think one way or another. Lets look at what is a great deception getting planted around this globe say the 'green' movement. Now this movement has become a religious wave and the object of worship is NOT the Creator but His creation and the ideology is claimed by these prophets of green they can control climate changes.
Their religion is promoted through the assistance of the four established institutions of society. Political, education, economic and last and certainly not least religious. How long do you think it will take to have the majority of this earth willing to join the 'green' club? Whatever reason, be it a political, educational, economic or religious motive allll entities lead to the same end a Godless society by the establishment of that system whispered into the woman's ear in the beginning, "For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
The movement has permeated our whole society and to speak against it gets one 'marked' as to be against a good and noble cause of perfecting our climate while protecting our environment over greed and exploitation of the earth and its creatures. The movement is against US our standard of living and what we stand for and not about a prevention of climate change or environmental protection.
No I am not claiming the green movement is the mark, what I am doing is using it, the movement as an analogy as to what kind of club/system is being described wherein to participate, either out of fear or lack of God's knowledge people willingly participate.
Somewhere in this thread someone spoke of taking the mark to feed a family, which reminded me of what God had Amos His prophet to pen. Amos 8 the whole chapter but specifically verse 11.
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
There is no 'last' trumpet in 1 Cor. 15...It is the 'last trump' of a trumpet...The noise a trumpet makes is obviously a 'trump'...
It's no wonder you got things all messed up...You claim trump means trumpet...Obviously not...Doesn't make much sense in English, or Greek...'The last trumpet of the trumpet'???
Hey, if you try to discern what it actually says instead of what you'd like it to say, you'd get a far better understanding...When you claim it says the 'last trumpet of the trumpet', you're not giving the Holy Spirit much to work with...
All orthodox Christians agree that at Christs return, all the saints are resurrected and receive their glorified bodies.
I suspect such are in short supply here.
I take it you didn't actually look at the Greek, and are just relying on the archaic language of the KJV to invent a doctrine.
If you are happy doing theology this way, then go for it. Theres nothing else I can say if you wont listen to reasonable arguments from Scripture.
Doesnt matter. The idea that all the disciples where from Judah is still not in the Bible. I'm not sure what driving this extra-biblical hobby horse of yours.
And whose version of the Greek are you referring to???
The King James translators looked at all the Greek that is available...You got something new???
There is no physical place called Armageddon. The correct meaning of the word is the sorrow of King Josiah.
It doesn't matter. There is no significant textual variance in the verses in question.
The King James translators looked at all the Greek that is available...You got something new???
KJV English was well suited for how the language was spoken 400 years ago. We do not speak that brand of English for the most part. The authors would be horrified to find out the erroneous interpretations that have suggested in modern days based on faulty understanding of KJV English.
That is why reliable modern translations, Like the New KJV, have modernized (corrected) these types of words and phrases. But apparently you wish to cling to unsupportable theories. Have fun.
Perhaps you should employ one yourself. The literal translation is Mount of Meggido. There is no such place. However, Meggido is where King Josiah was killed. The Mount part represents the nationwide sorrow that erupted after the passing of Israel's most righteous king.
That is why reliable modern translations, Like the New KJV, have modernized (corrected) these types of words and phrases. But apparently you wish to cling to unsupportable theories. Have fun.
I don't know if you are trying to fool yourself or someone else...
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
You see any archaic words in there??? NO??? Your arguement just left, without you...
BTW, the NKJB says exactly the same thing...
Its too bad that historical revisionism gets used as a club against fellow Christians.
For 2000 years most Jewish converts to Jesus Christ have had no problem identifying themselves as Christians and members of His Church. That is until a small sub-group of believers, some being ethnic/cultural Jews, decided that a new name was needed for their sub-group. The invented the belief system of Messiah Judaism and started calling them selves Messianic Jews (even though most the adherents to this new fangled sect are not ethnic or cultural Jews). They gave the impression that somehow they (and they alone) were getting back to authentic, first century Christianity (oops, I meant) Messianic Judaism. They utilized many techniques to give this impression, such as the prominent use of those annoying transliterations of names from one language to another. (Question, do Chinese-speaking Messiah Jews transliterate Yah'shua and "Sha-ul" into Mandarin?)
And so, some of them apparently like to castigate anyone who questions the theological presuppositions and foundations of their innovations by labeling them prideful, anti-Semitic, and other similar unfaltering names, perhaps not realizing how prideful they themselves can appear by such tactics.
And so, rather than build up the one new man that Paul speaks of in Ephesians 2, the commonwealth made up of Jews and gentiles together without regard to past religious distinctions, we have this group of self-described Messianic Jews (mainly gentiles) who are attempting to rebuild the religious wall that Paul says has been torn down. Some of them act as if those Christians down through the ages (whether Jews or gentile) who have wished to be identified as the true sons of Abraham, the spiritual Israel of the Bible, are somehow encroaching upon their sacred territory. They have invented concepts like "gentile Christianity" to berate faithful followers of Our Lord down though the centuries.
They seem to forget the words of Paul, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." (Gal. 3:28,29)
I'm guessing you didn't read the linked document.
Nobody except The Donald and Bridge players use the word "trump" anymore.
The Greek of that passage literally says, "... in the last trumpet (noun) he shall be trumpeting (verb) ..." which has been rendered in various ways by various translators. It could just as easily be translated, "... at the last trumpet which shall be trumpeting ..." Its a matter of emphasis. The sound will be unmistakable and unavoidable. It is the last sound anyone will hear before being ushered in the presence of a Holy God for judgment day.
Resolved: the dispensational exegesis of any given passage is best ignored unless an amil/postmil/historic premil scholar can be found who agrees with it.
By you maybe...But that's not what the verse says...
But more accurately, it would be (if someone was so inclined to change it like you do) 'the last trumpeting of the trumpet'...It speaks of the last noise a trumpet makes, NOT the last trumpet...
If you can't expound on what the verse actually says, you are devoid of the meaning of the verse...
I was under the impression that children under a certain age would be raptured and then grow to maturity during the millennium. They would have a chance to accept Christ or reject him like everyone else.
"I was under the impression that children under a certain age would be raptured and then grow to maturity during the millennium."
Where is there anything in Scripture to support a Rapture? Only in the minds of those who would like to think they will be taken out. Noah was taken through, not out. Same for us. Those taken out were taken to judgement. Same is true for those "taken out" in Matthew to support the "Left Behind" series of LeHay & Jenkins.
Well, I'm no expert. I'm sure that babies born before the rapture would go up. I can't say about the ones born afterwards. I really don't know.
That's exactly what the Greek says. The adjective "last" is used to modify the noun "trumpet", not the verb.
Check out the Greek and see for yourself.
Whether you call it a trumpet or a trump, makes no difference as long as you know what's being discussed...
We're talking about the 'last' of the sounds being trumpeted...
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
The trump, the 'sound' will be the last sound heard...
The trumpet in this verse is a verb which combined with the others in the group are as follows...
From G4536; to trumpet, that is, sound a blast (literally or figuratively): - (which are yet to) sound (a trumpet).
So to summarize, in the GREEK, you get this:
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
This has nothing to with your idea of the 'last trumpet will sound'...
Trumpet in the New Testament has little to do with the Hebrew translated trumpet of the Old Testament...There commonality is of producing a loud sound...None of the Angels in Revelation are blowing tuba's or French horns...
In Revelation the emphasis is on the Angels and their number and then the sound they are making...
Rev 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
Rev 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever.
There's the seventh 'trumpet'...And for those of you who somehow reject the Millenial reign of Jesus Christ, you can see the kindgoms of THIS world become the kingdoms of our Lord...Jesus will reign on earth for a thousand years...
What is being discussed is the last trumpet being sounded at Christs return for the physical resurrection and general judgment of all men.
Certain futurists have devised a scheme where they need to invent several last trumpets in order to fit their theory. The language of 1 Cor. 15 does not support the notion.
We're talking about the 'last' of the sounds being trumpeted...
That may be what you are talking about, but the Greek of 1 Cor. 15 is not talking about any such thing. As I made clear before, you have failed miserably to properly analyze the Greek in the verse, because you are starting with your faulty understanding of KJV language.

Excellent! You are, like me, drawn to sad pictures. ;-)
This is so good
Things like this are so sad. If a battered woman was to see this and be reminded of the abuse and pain she went through, that would be heartbreaking. To make 'art' of someone's personal pain and misfortune is so tragic. This is so sad.

That is simply epic!
Awesome work!
The Ptolemaic dynasty's fleet, at its height, rivaled that of Carthage or Rome. This is an Octères, the Heavy Warship for the Ptolemies in our game. It can garrison a large number of troops and siege weapons and can stand toe to toe against the Roman and Carthaginian quinqueremes.

How Hard Is This Inaugural Concert Going to Blow?
[youtube:v=8mVEGfH4s5g] If they liked her, they should have let Beyonce put a ring on it.
Super hard, the Associated Press reports. Though the line-up for this Sunday's Obama inaugural concert at the Lincoln Memorial includes some of the nation's hottest performers, the notoriously lame "American spirit" promises to dampen each mammoth recording artist's luster. According to the AP, "artists won't be performing their big hits, but will be asked to perform material appropriate to the occasion."
Beyonce! U2! Bruce Springsteen! John Mellencamp! Usher! Stevie Wonder! Shakira! Sheryl Crow! Josh Groban! James Taylor! All stars whose performances will be rendered lame by the American "standards" they will all be forced to perform in honor of Barack Obama. Only John Mellencamp, Sheryl Crow, and Josh Groban will be spared, by virtue of being already pretty lame.*
"The list of stars is impressive," said executive producer George Stevens Jr., who is nevertheless bent on ruining all of them. "[T]his is not a show biz, glitzy occasion. It's going to be rooted in history, remembering the great president (Lincoln) who led us through difficult times."
Ugh, just tell it like it is: No "Single Ladies."
*possibly also James Taylor.

My typical approach to Christmas gifts lies somewhere between the frenzy of abject consumerism and the ability to make beautiful jars of preserves from the contents of one's own garden to give as gifts. I love to make presents for people when I can, and I love to buy presents for people when I am inspired by finding something they will truly love. I have always thought (even before this year's economic downturn emphasized the point) that it wasn't how much you spent but how perfect the gift was for the recipient that mattered.
I also have a somewhat stronger philosophy when it comes to my children: I prefer them to receive things that encourage creativity and inventive play rather than lots of plastic stuff that basically plays itself (with two volume choices, LOUD and Slightly Less Loud, you pick!). Son routinely asks for every Power Ranger, Ben Ten (which he pronounced "Bun Tun," much to my amusement), and Spiderman thing he sees in the stores or on his friend's show-and-tell days. But in our house, Santa and I have a deal, and that stuff never makes it under the tree. The man in red comes up with some great alternatives, however, that keep the inventive play going far longer than I think the all-plastic-all-the-time stuff would. (Don't get me wrong, I'm not completely immune to the consumer urge. I happen to have insider info that suggests there will be a laser-firing, talking Buzz Lightyear under the tree; I just try to ensure that there are plenty of things requiring really creative play.)
We spend hours at our house on what we call projects. "Would you like to do a project?" is a pretty common question, and the result might require torn paper, glue and paintbrushes, or paper bags to make into puppets, or glitter paint and egg cartons...there's really no telling. One thing that is really registering for me this year, though, is that when you cultivate family traditions of D.I.Y., it is easier to buy presents that are not super-expensive. All the brand-name marketing costs money. Crayon rocks, on the other hand? Not so famous. But hours of fun.
So, for anyone out there looking for "one last perfect gift" and hoping to spend a little less money, and get something that fosters creativity, here are my best ideas for a range of ages.
Art supplies. Remember that glorious new crayon smell? Remember how you were never allowed the box of 64 crayons because it was an extravagance? But there are so many great colors in there...so many possibilities. At $5, it's a relatively small extravagance, especially if it's wrapped with a tablet of oversized drawing paper. For littler hands, I also like these fantastic Crayon Rocks. You might also consider finger paints, or a nice tin of water colors. Add interest by buying a giant roll of paper and repurpose an old shirt into a painting smock.
Puppets. Last year, I bought plywood, upholstered it in fabric, and built a puppet theater. A lightweight hanging wall bin from Ikea is attached inside to hold all the puppets sent by family members in the know. The kids play with this all the time, making all kinds of plays. You can get great puppets here or here. And, if you're not insane (read: crazy, overachiever) like me, you can also get a great table-top puppet theater from Ikea for about $6.
Costumes. They're not just for Halloween anymore. We have a firefighter, a knight in armor, and a pirate, in addition to all the many Halloween costumes we've collected. We have masks, and hats, and super capes. We routinely make accessories using sparkly gift boxes and sticks, and a lot of packing tape.
Vehicles. Sure, you can buy cars from Little Tykes or adorable pedal-car fire engines (both of which we love). But you can also make a canoe from two diaper boxes taped together. How does this become a Christmas gift? Why not give a "canoe kit" -- with all the supplies, decals and paints for decorating, and some Daniel Boone hats for them to wear while they're exploring the wilds down the river?
Music. We all know how annoying kid music can be (Barney, anyone?). If you spend long stretches of time in the car, or you like background music the kids can sing along with, I was given the best cd that I can actually listen to for hours and hours on end. Elizabeth Mitchell's "You Are My Little Bird" -- filled with lilting, slightly folk-song-ish songs, with great melodies. We have listened to this cd approximately 700 times (roughly once a day for two years), and I'm getting a little sick of it. But only in the last month or two, which I count as a pretty darn amazing investment.
For more active musical interaction, may I suggest a dance dvd? The Swingset Mamas sent me a sample of their "Swing, Dance, and Sing" dvd recently, which Nick Jr. rated in its "best for preschoolers" gift category. Two energetic mamas, singing, dancing, and bopping with kids have put together a great dvd that got my kids up and dancing too. I love that they liked the music AND wanted to do something other than just zone out in front of the tv (something I try to restrict as much as I can). The music is fun and catchy, and many of the tunes also send good messages to kids. Both my nearly-five and two-and-a-half year old had fun, and I will be playing this one again when they need to work off some energy and it's too cold to be outside.
Coupons for personal days together. One-on-one adventures, a shopping, mother/daughter manicures, you name it. You can pick activities that are low-cost, and give activity coupons promising real together time throughout the year.
Books of poetry. Elizabeth Bishop (gorgeous, musing). Edward Lear (hilarious, perfect for kids). Pablo Neruda (romantic, stunning). Spend an hour in the poetry section at Border's browsing.
Black-and-white framed candid portraits (perfect for your spouse). Take your digital camera, follow your children around for a day taking a zillion pictures, and then choose one or two to blow up and frame. Picassa (Google's photo editing softwear) is free to download; or try Picnik. Crop close to the subject, and don't be afraid to lose most of the background, or even crop off the top of a head, frame just a set of feet on a beach, or get down to child's eye view.
So, that's the best I've got. Anyone else want to add to the last-minute list to help out the rest of us? Especially if you have an idea for a mother-in-law...

Last Minute Holiday Gift Help
My typical approach to Christmas gifts lies somewhere between the frenzy of abject consumerism and the ability to make beautiful jars of preserves from the contents of one's own garden to give as gifts.

Those are great ideas. As for the mother-in-law gift idea? I have been forbidden to even THINK about buying a gift for my mother-in-law ever since, once upon a Christmas past, I suggested a personal vibrator shaped like this religious article she's particularly fond of, as a present. NOBODY thought that was funny. Probably like right now. I should probably erase this. Nah. Let it ride.

Wonderfil ! It's like we're on the film. Love the way you colored it.
All your artwork on these are so incredible. Your amazing! O//.//O
What a beautiful artwork!
Did you draw the entire movie for them ?
Is this the sort of quality you are expected to pull off for movie frames? Or just key frames? How many of these do you do a day?
Very well done- such a great likeness to the movie characters. the attention to detailing is really great.
Did you design the armor? Kicks ass!
all looking great. did you paint 'Sif' ?
I just saw this film last night.

The Coming Payments Revolution
(AXP - Get Report) and Wal-Mart (WMT - Get Report),There are, of course, two sides to any transaction, the merchant and the customer. Pushing costs to one side or the other is another way to innovate. Take Bluebird, the payment card from American Express
which I wrote about here last month.
MoneyMorning notes
, customers aren't being charged for using the cards when they put their paychecks into them and using Wal-Mart cashiers or AmEx ATMs to take the money out. Instead, Bluebird is charging merchants high interchange fees.
Each mobile payment app that appears -- and
Mobile Payments Today recently profiled six of them
gets a chance to rewrite the rules. There is a "Wild West" quality to the market now, but that just means competition.
And if you don't think the current players aren't hip to that, you're mistaken. How would you like a credit card with a keypad on it that makes online payments more secure and cheaper? MasterCard is testing one,
Watch your mailbox.

Memoirs, Official and Personal
Yesterday, the 4th of July, we passed in looking through this interesting work. The feelings and reflections it induced were in harmony with the aspect of the day, a day of gloom, of searching chill and dripping skies. We were very sorry for all the poor laborers and children whom the weather deprived of pleasure on the pleasantest occasion of their year—most of all for those poor children of the Farm Schools on this, perhaps, the first holiday of their dull, narrow little lives. But the mourning aspect of the day seemed to us most appropriate. The boys and boyish young men were letting off their crackers and revelling in smoke and hubbub all day long; a din not more musical, of empty panegyric and gratulation, was going on within the halls of oratory; the military were parading our profaned banners. But the sweet heavens, conscious of the list of wrongs by which this nation, in its now three score years and ten of independent existence, has abused the boon, veiled themselves in crape and wept.
The nation may wrap itself in callousness and stop its ears to every cry except that of profit or loss; it may build its temples of wood and stone, and hope, by formal service of the lips, to make up for that paid to Mammon in the spirit,1 but God is not mocked; it is all recorded, all known. The want of honor and even honorable sentiment shown by this people in the day of repudiation; the sin of Slavery and the conduct of the slaveholder, who, at first pretending that he wished, if possible, to put an end to this curse of unlawful bondage, has now unveiled his falsehood by the contrivance and consummation of a plan to perpetuate it, if possible, through all ages; the intolerance and bigotry which disgrace a country whose fundamental idea affords them no excuse, shown in a thousand ways and on every side, but, of late, in a most flagrant form, through the murder of the Mormon leader, the expulsion of his followers, and____________________

Lucy & La Mer on Tour
Meet Lucy & La Mer
Lucy & La Mer is an American Folk Pop band hailing from Los Angeles, CA. Singer/Songwriter Lucy LaForge leads an acoustic collaboration of musicians on her baritone ukulele, including GRAMMY winning percussionist Matthew Cook (LA Percussion Quartet, Partch Ensemble) and jazz bassist Jon Lee Keenan.
Their debut single "Just Friends" raised enough support from fans in 2013 to fully fund the band's first music video via a Kickstarter Campaign, and has since appeared in various film festivals. In 2014, the band was voted to be part of the Echo Park Rising Music Festival and also performed for Los Angeles' Mayor Garcetti at the Sierra Club's 50th Anniversary.
Lucy also performed as a back-up singer for EDM legend Moby in two of his live shows, and embarked on her own solo West Coast Tour in Fall 2014, followed by a SXSW Tour in March 2015, to promote their debut EP Little Spoon, released April 6th, 2015.
"With folk instruments and often blunt yet whimsical lyrics, the collection is witty, adorable pop." - Free Bike Valet (March 2015)
"Much like her music, she is bright, darling, and smart." - Free People Music Blog (April 2015)
Two of the new tracks have already placed as semi-finalists for the International Songwriting Competition in 2014 and 2015. Described as "a cutesy yet sardonic and eccentric blend of a Folk, Alternative, and Pop sound" the tunes were written by LaForge during a rough patch post-college, when she took to living out of boat and learned how to play ukulele in between grad school applications.
"Delightful, Quirky, and ironically Moody... Playful and bemusing "Little Spoon" brings a fun loving smile to my lips and an equally frisky swagger to my hips." - Decor & Wine (May 2015)
Lucy unapologetically conveys a "veracious account of today's hook up generation" says Life of A Rockstar journalist Nicole Hanratty. The ukulele-driven pop songs poke at the seriousness of being an adult, both in romantic relationships and as a working professional.
The band appeared at the LA Vegan Beer & Food Festival in May 2015 and will be touring internationally during the Fall 2015.
"...she has depth and heart and soul that shine through the album's entirety." - EarToTheGround Music (May 2015)"Equal parts sweet and sarcastic." - KZSC Radio (April 2015)
"Lucy & La Mer's newly released EP is a wonderful mix of whimsical vocals and distinctive instrumentation. This album has a very indie-folk vibe mixed with bubble-gum pop that is very agreeable and refreshing." - KAMP Student Radio (April 2015)
"Une artiste découverte par hasard au fil de nos écoutes et à qui nous voulions donner un coup de pouce. C'est ici l'acoustique dominée par un ukulélé qui nous a ravi." - Music Radar, France (May 2015)

Nice, always in focus iPhone size projector
This review is from: Microvision SHOWWX+ WVGA 848 x 480 15 lumens Laser Pico Projector
Pros: Always in focus, works very well. Approximately the same size as an iPhone.
Cons: Needs low light for large projection size, must be perpendicular to screen (no keystone adjustment).
Other Thoughts: Could use some method for holding unit in place. It would be nice if it had a tripod mount. Works fine with photos from my iPad, MacBook Pro and Windows 7 PC.

I like mine
This review is from: Microvision SHOWWX+ WVGA 848 x 480 15 lumens Laser Pico Projector
Pros: Bright, vibrant colors, never has to focus. Lights off, it looks great up to 50 inches or so.
Cons: In normal light, it gets very dim at anything over 30 inches.
Other Thoughts: In addition to sharing photos and watching movies pretty much any surface. I bought mine especially so that I could hook it up as a monitor for my mac mini I use the HDMI adapter for the mac and it hooks right up to the ShowWX+.

A product with a lot of potential.
This review is from: Microvision SHOWWX+ WVGA 848 x 480 15 lumens Laser Pico Projector
Pros: Good color. Very accurate reproduction. No stutter, freezing. Really easy to use.
Cons: Dark, dark, dark. Only works in vary low light situations, or with screen size so small that you may as well watch off the computer screen or the ipad screen. No refund/return allowed.
Other Thoughts: This unit has a lot of possibilities IF they increase the resolution and AT LEAST triple the lumen output.

Tobacco and Nicotine
Get involved in the fight against tobacco and nicotine with AAFP resources. Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of disease, disability, and death in the United States, making tobacco prevention, cessation, and policy issues a top priority in public health.
As family physicians, we have real power in the fight against tobacco and nicotine.
- At least 70% of the people who use tobacco products in the United States see a physician each year.
- If physicians would advise 90% of smokers to quit and offer them medication or other assistance, 42,000 lives could be saved each year.
In an effort to support family physicians who are taking a frontline approach to prevention and treatment of tobacco use and nicotine dependence, the AAFP provides valuable resources.
Office-Based Tools
Ask and Act
Ask and Act encourages family physicians to ask all patients about tobacco use, then to act to help them quit.
Community Engagement
Tar Wars
Tar Wars is a tobacco prevention education program designed to help fourth- and fifth-grade students be tobacco-free.
AAFP Chapter/Residency Program Mini-grants
The AAFP offers annual, customizable mini-grants, available to chapters and family medicine residency programs, for tobacco prevention and control efforts at the state and local level.
AAFP members play a critical role in advocating for effective policies to prevent, treat and ultimately eliminate tobacco and nicotine addiction.
Evidence-Based Knowledge
The use of evidence-based strategies can more than double tobacco cessation rates.

"Aircoach shuttles" To and From Dublin Airport Tip by Jefie
To and From Dublin Airport, Dublin: 46 reviews and 47 photos
When I get off the plane after a long flight I rarely feel like trying to figure out a new city's public transit and taxis are usually too expensive so when I landed in Dublin, I went looking for an airport shuttle. Aircoach provides regular service between the Dublin airport and most hotels downtown. All you need to do is buy a ticket from the counter that is located on the left as you exit the baggage claim area, tell them which hotel you're going to, and they'll let you know which bus you need to get on and where to stop. They run on fixed routes so you might have to walk a bit between the aircoach stop and your hotel, but in our case it was only a 5 min walk along St. Stephen's Green.
The price for a roundtrip ticket was 14 Euros. Aircoach stops are well identified so you don't have to worry about not knowing where to go to catch a shuttle back to the airport. The shuttles run every 10 min.

This is a new and awesome product. I suggest always mixing it a blender in a smoothie. It does not dissolve or mix well otherwise. I do not eat much red meat becasue I do not prefer it, but here is my answer to the great protein nutrition red meat provides.

Check out these bargain stocks
Downsizing may be appealing, but consider these first
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
On Jan 25, 2013, we have upgraded our recommendation to
Outperform from Neutral on
Natural Resource Partners L.P.
). Currently, the partnership carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Why the Upgrade?
Natural Resource's string of unconventional asset acquisitions
led us to move up our long-term expectation. The partnership's
purchase of frac sand reserves is expected to quicken the pace of
oil and gas production in the near term. Meanwhile, Natural
Resource also picked up an overriding interest in the
liquids-rich portion of Marcellus Shale.
We believe these initiatives will drive growth given the
increasing preference for natural gas and liquids as an energy
source in the U.S.
Natural Resource's earnings of 48 cents per unit for the third
quarter 2012 widely beat our estimate of 42 cents per unit.
Revenue followed the same path and stood at $94.2 million beating
our expectation by 9.5%. Earnings surprises generally drive
positive estimate revisions.
Recently, the partnership was engaged in another key stake
buyout in the Trona ore mining play that could prove profitable
in the future. Natural Resource's offering of a consistent
quarterly distribution rate of 55 cents per unit and a five-year
yield of 5.38% also look encouraging.
Furthermore, the International Energy Agency (IEA) expects the
coal market to make a comeback which will complement the
partnership's strategic purchase of the low-cost Deer Run coal
Moreover, visible growth signs in the premier market of China
will open up a window of coal export opportunities for the
partnership with volumes produced in the country failing to meet
their domestic demand.
Other Stocks to Consider
Besides Natural Resource Partners, other companies in the
energy market domain who are performing well and currently
maintain a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) are
Integrys Energy Group Inc.
Wisconsin Energy Corp.
) and
Ameren Corporation

In defense of being high-maintenance
Drybar sees 75,000 customers each month nationwide — and I'm most certainly one of them. Have you ever tried to give yourself a blowout? Maybe you're good at it, but despite my long arms, my attempts at home hair care are like a T-Rex trying to do, well, anything. I simply don't have the motor skills to manipulate a round brush, but that's okay, because the fine people of Drybar do. I will happily pay them to style my head, sans dinosaur arms.
Some may say that a too-regular indulgence of beauty treatments, such as a tab at Drybar, is vain or narcissistic. I'd like to suggest that the critic is the vain one here. It's vain to think that anything involving my beauty routine somehow involves you. And before anyone suggests it, my routine doesn't have anything to do with men, either. Sure, a woman may alter her beauty maintenance to make herself feel more attractive, but there's nothing wrong with wanting to feel good about yourself.
The point is that I know how I want to look, and so do plenty of other women. Even though I can't hit up Drybar every week, I certainly want to. Knowing what you want means knowing the ways in which you feel most comfortable and, therefore, most confident. Even women with the most minimalist beauty routines would have to agree that confidence is everything.
According to a study from Mint, the average woman spends approximately $15,000 on beauty products during her lifetime. Of that, $3,770 goes to mascara alone (I mean, it does brighten your whole face). Mint also says that four in five women wear makeup. I mean, how could we not? No matter what your skin type, complexion, or palette preference, there's a beauty product out there that feels especially for you. Oily skin? Use this foundation. Thin, sparse eyelashes? A volumizing mascara will sort you out. It's nearly impossible to feel excluded from the makeup world.
There exists, however, an idea that if a woman is drop-dead gorgeous, she must be pretty dumb. So, the argument against wearing makeup is that placing too much emphasis on appearance will make you appear less intelligent. This is a perception based entirely on notions from a long, long time ago: The smart girl is ugly, because she's too smart to dabble in the triviality of makeup and such. Ladies, it's a new era. An era in which being a total babe doesn't mean being a dud — but there's only one way to prove it, which is to do it. And to stop bringing down women who choose to wear makeup.
Plus, 50 percent of American women believe wearing makeup gives them a leg up at work and helps them feel in control. My good friend JJ, who happens to be super-high-maintenance and owns it, says this is especially helpful when she's having an emotional day and has to go to work. "I like that I can cover up a really bad day with some bronzer and blush."
In 2011, The New York Times published the results of a study that, for the first time ever, concludedmakeup makes a woman perceived as more capable, reliable, and amiable. Nancy Etcoff, the study's lead professor, says the significance is not just in perception, but in what it really means for females who are choosing their own makeup looks. "Twenty or 30 years ago, if you got dressed up, it was simply to please men, or it was something you were doing because society demands it. Women and feminists today see this is their own choice, and it may be an effective tool."
As a snooze-button enthusiast, I know that I need to set my alarm clock 20-30 minutes early. Opting for "snooze" rather than "alarm" each morning eases me into my day, and I can think of no better way to spend those minutes than to tease my brain and body into thinking I'm getting more sleep.
As I mentioned earlier, I also live above a nail salon (and a bakery, but that's a separate battle). Every Sunday, I head downstairs to get a manicure and pedicure. Though many would certainly classify this as a "high-maintenance" practice, I think it's totally worth both the time and money. It's like an hour-and-a-half of total relaxation. There's usually something amazing on the television, like figure-skating competitions or Beaches, and the massage chair shakes me to sleep like a baby. This routine makes me happy. I do it for no one's sake but my own, and I often don't even go with friends. I can think of no better way to spend $30.
The criticism I face here is something along the lines of: Why aren't you out saving panda tigers? Why aren't you feeding the hungry with your extra money? Why don't you donate to a charity? Volunteer at a soup kitchen? Judgey Wudgey was a bear.
In reality, the $30 and 20 minutes belong to me. We make time and finances available for the things that matter to us. How I choose to spend either of them isn't up for debate. I don't feel the need to justify them and neither should you. We should be celebrating the fact that time and money (especially money) are both ours to use as we please. Remember when Lucy used to have to get her salon money from Ricky? And because some of the best advice is doled out via '90s music, I defer to the venerable Destiny's Child: "Ladies, it ain't easy bein' independent."
A report from the YWCA claims that "If a woman invested the average amount of money she spends on a monthly manicure-pedicure treatment ($50) into her retirement account every year for 10 years, she would have almost $10,000 in her account at the end of that time." This point is infallible, especially during a time when young people are urged to contribute as much to retirement as possible. But, when it comes to luxuries, why are women's practices targeted? Why is it that we choose to criticize only when it comes to beauty? And not, say, when an overpriced sports car is at hand or a luxury hotel with amenities we'll never use? Why is the critical conversation centered around women?
And (I'm going to really push it here), a woman may have $10,000 in savings if she skips out on some of her bigger-ticket beauty buys, but would she be happy? Our beauty routines are something we own; something we create. JJ likes to say, "I may not have been born with glowing, clear skin or luscious, long eyelashes, but a few tweaks can help me feel like I was." Amen, sister.
High maintenance has all sorts of connotations, among them that it's something to be ashamed of. I may not be very high-maintenance right now, but I definitely plan on being so in the coming years. And I certainly don't want to be made to feel embarrassed about it. If women aim to create a new conversation around our relationship with beauty, then we can stop living within the idea that an attention to detail equals superficiality.
Though I'm not exactly a salon regular (yet), it's really discouraging to see women in an environment where we have defunct relationships with our beauty habits. It's so easy to dismiss the work that goes into our morning routines, lest other women find it ridiculous - and judge us accordingly. What's the real consequence here? We are expected to meet certain standards of appearance, especially in the workplace, but simultaneously feel like we can't be allowed to acknowledge the effort it often requires to look that way. Women are ashamed to be considered high-maintenance. It's an "I see dead people" situation, where we regularly see ghosts but can't talk about it. Yes, I went there.
Can a beauty editor be a feminist?
There are two sides to this argument. The high-maintenance girl will claim, "I have to do these things. I have to keep up my appearance for my job." The critic will respond, "Your extreme makeup and grooming tactics are regressive. You're keeping women from taking the social and professional steps forward by prioritizing your appearance." Though both sides certainly make valid points, the latter has a fatal flaw: It is not our aesthetic maintenance that keeps us from progressing, but it's comments like these from other women. To quote the ever-applicable Mean Girls, "There's been some girl-on-girl crime here."
Sick of the negative connotations around being high-maintenance? I'm here to reclaim it.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

This tube lasts for months. It does have a thick sort of color, more so than just a gloss. But, it turns kind of brick red with a hint of orange on my lips. I use it around the house, in case I am surprised by a handsome stud and am not totally without makeup. It's all natural, so I feel pretty good about it, rather than wearing lipstick 24/7.
Pleasant lip balm. Really protects from the sun. On lips it is not felt almost. It is intended for women, it is better to men to buy another บาล์มลิปนี ที่จริงป้องกันแสงแดด ที่ริมฝีปากของเกือบจะไม่รู้สึก ได้รับการออกแบบสำหรับผู้หญิงผู้ชายที่ดีกว่าที่จะซื้ออีก

I like this color the best. Like a soft rose color but not harsh.
So so only

I like the SPF 18 and intense color and I use this to replace my regular lipstick which is of course full of chemicals I want to avoid. But as a lip balm, it is not very smooth in texture and doesn't really moisturize my lips as other lip balms do. So I am still looking for the perfect tinted lip balm...
