Stop Asking 'What Would MLK Do?'
It isn't just on Martin Luther King Day that we watch it unfold. It happens with national race incidents. It happens in heated conversations. It happens in tweets and Facebook comments. If you are someone who regularly hosts dialogues on race, this has surely happened to you. Being MLK-ed:
"MLK would never condone those rioters."
"MLK would tell all of us that we just need to seek peace and unity."
"MLK said... [insert quote taken out of context]."
"MLK would promote racial healing—not your words of anger and division."
People want to retreat to easy answers, feel-good quotations, and rely on MLK's work instead of our own. This convenient tactic lacks authenticity and understanding. If we truly valued the life work of Martin Luther King Jr., we would stop trying to predict "what MLK would say now," as if he lived a long life and died of old age.
Whatever wisdom we think MLK would bring to this moment seems to often discount that he was assassinated on a balcony, taken from his wife, his children, his friends. Why do we think MLK would say anything other than an indicting statement of fact: "You killed me."
It's so much easier to think of King's death as inevitable, as that of a martyr, a heroic end to a life of public service. We'd rather not consider the bullet that ripped through his face, entered his neck, and severed his spinal cord, causing a quick, bloody death on that concrete balcony. We like our pictures in black and white.
To feel what his wife felt; to feel what his children felt; to feel what his friends felt; to feel what his supporters felt is to invite pain over celebration, rage over rousing speeches, devastating loss over convenient platitudes.
Rather than think of King as a person, a husband, and a father, we like to think of him as the stone statue in DC—large, strong, unmovable. King's legacy may be all those things, but he was human. He read lots of books, listened to lots of preachers, worked on the craft of writing and speaking. He was a human who laughed and cried, knew joy and pain.
Like most of us, King evolved in his thinking over time. He took a stand for racial justice and realized he could not talk about racial injustice without also addressing economic injustice. The more he talked about economic injustice in America, the more he recognized the underpinnings to military injustice around the world. King wasn't a one-note leader. He didn't have just one idea. The more he read, traveled, gained access to powerful, political spaces, he grew in his thinking and his passion for the disenfranchised.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex disorder involving pathogen infection, host immune response, and altered enterocyte physiology. Incidences of IBD are increasing at an alarming rate in developed countries, warranting a detailed molecular portrait of IBD.
We used large-scale data, bioinformatics tools, and high-throughput computations to obtain gene and microRNA signatures for Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). These signatures were then integrated with systemic literature review to draw a comprehensive portrait of IBD in relation to autoimmune diseases.
The top upregulated genes in IBD are associated with diabetogenesis (REG1A, REG1B), bacterial signals (TLRs, NLRs), innate immunity (DEFA6, IDO1, EXOSC1), inflammation (CXCLs), and matrix degradation (MMPs). The downregulated genes coded tight junction proteins (CLDN8), solute transporters (SLCs), and adhesion proteins. Genes highly expressed in UC compared to CD included antiinflammatory ANXA1, transporter ABCA12, T-cell activator HSH2D, and immunoglobulin IGHV4-34. Compromised metabolisms for processing of drugs, nitrogen, androgen and estrogen, and lipids in IBD correlated with an increase in specific microRNA. Highly expressed IBD genes constituted targets of drugs used in gastrointestinal cancers, viral infections, and autoimmunity disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and asthma.
This study presents a clinically relevant gene-level portrait of IBD subtypes and their connectivity to autoimmune diseases. The study identified candidates for repositioning of existing drugs to manage IBD. Integration of mice and human data point to an altered B-cell response as a cause for upregulation of genes in IBD involved in other aspects of immune defense such as interferon-inducible responses.

Of course, there could have been one that I didn't know about. TF have had a lot of problems with the website today, so if it DID exist previously but you can't find it now, then chances are it's one of the things that Somtam is still fixing up.

18,000 pieces of plastic are estimated to float in every square kilometre of ocean.
633 species worldwide including 77 Australian species are impacted by marine debris.
Over 75% of what is removed from our beaches is made of plastic.
Tangaroa Blue Foundation is an Australian-wide not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the removal and prevention of marine debris, one of the major environmental issues worldwide. But if all we do is clean-up, that is all we will ever do.
To successfully solve the problem, the Australian Marine Debris Initiative (AMDI) was created, an on-ground network of volunteers, communities and organisations that contribute data from rubbish collected during beach and river clean-up events to the AMDI Database, and then work on solutions to stop the flow of litter at the source. The AMDI helps communities look after their coastal environment by providing resources and support programs, and collaborates with industry and government to create change on a large scale.
In Maori and Polynesian mythology, Tangaroa is the god of the ocean. Tangaroa made laws to protect the ocean and its sea creatures "Tiaki mai i ahau, maku ano koe e tiaki"... If you look after me, then I will look after you..." When, after a week-long clean-up event, the whales and dolphins come close to our beach and slap their flippers, we sometimes wonder if it is Tangaroa saying "thank you".
Environmental groups have welcomed the State Government's decision to introduce a Container Deposit Scheme (cash for containers) in Queensland in 2018, describing it as a great leap forward for litter reduction, recycling, environmental protection and a vital financial boost for community organisations interested in can and bottle collection.
'Cash for containers is a proven scheme and will slash litter rates, increase recycling across the state, create hundreds of jobs in collection and re-processing and provide a financial boost to community organisations interested in collecting can and bottles.' said Toby Hutcheon, spokesperson for the Boomerang Alliance and Wildlife Queensland
Only 9 months ago, Tangaroa Blue travelled to the very tip of our continent for the first time to clean up the iconic Five Beaches Loop near Somerset. After a 2-day break from our Captain Billy clean-up 2016, Tangaroa Blue and Conservation Volunteers Australia headed there again to remove what had washed up since September 2015.
With the camp set up at Australia's northernmost camp ground Punsand Bay (the presence of running water and showers at the camp came like Christmas presents to the volunteers that had just spent a week at Captain Billy's), the group travelled every day to Somerset, where we set up our data camp near the access to the chain of picturesque coves and rugged headlands that form the Five Beaches Loop. Giant red termite mounds fringed the rough 4WD track to the beaches where the team of 20 fanned out to collect the rubbish.
A number of environmental groups joined together with the Keppel Coast Arts Council's Fig Tree Markets to launch a 'Too Lovely to Litter' campaign on Sunday 5 June for World Environment Day.
'Too Lovely to Litter' aimed to raise awareness about the environmental impacts that marine debris has on our coastal and marine wildlife.
The idea for this event emerged after Capricornia Catchments' Project Officer Shelly McArdle was approached by Julie Robertson of Wildlife Rockhampton after a particularly harrowing failed rescue attempt of a local seabird that had ingested debris. In considering how to reduce these incidents, the idea was explored further at a recent Source Reduction Workshop hosted by Tangaroa Blue, Livingstone Shire Council and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. This workshop saw a number of stakeholders come together to discuss local marine debris concerns with a view to identifying ways to mobilise community to stop this debris ending up on our beaches in the first place. The result was the formation of an organising committee that set about planning this World Environment Day event.
Today Tangaroa Blue volunteers reached a huge milestone - the 6 millionth item was recorded into the Australian Marine Debris Database!! The lucky debris item was collected by the crew on MV Bahama while they were visiting Lizard Island. A huge thank you to everyone that has submitted data to the AMDI Database, not only is our environment 6 million items cleaner, but you have provided a huge amount of evidence that government, industry and community are using to create change that stops the flow of rubbish into our oceans! Thank you to everyone!!!
Since 2004 Tangaroa Blue volunteers and partners have been hard at work cleaning our beaches!

Don't restrict yourself to nouns! Think of verbs, adjectives, superlatives... if it starts with the letter "C", capture it and post it!
Contest Rules:
- Photo MUST have been taken within 30 days of posting
- Max submission of TWO photos per member
- Must be a PAID member to enter
*** Please note that I will delete your photos without notice at the end of the month if you are not a paid member. I was giving grace periods and sending emails but since I've been posting the rules enough times now, everyone should be aware of the Contest Rules. The reason why the contest is open to paid members only is because the prizes for the Winners at the end of the year come from the membership fund, so it is only fair that those who contribute into the fund should qualify.
I've read all the articles under the pages tab. How do I submit my annual fee?
Is the photo subject "the letter 'C'" for March or April?

50 Cent - Poem by Edward Kofi Louis
'I will kill you like a snake',
'I will roast you like a chicken',
'I will fry you like a plantain',
So roll, roll, roll your boat when,
You have a killer gun in your pocket.
I was born in the ghetto with,
The status of poverty without a fish in my hand;
I was taught in the ghettto with,
Much tears than hope;
I was brought up in the ghetto without the Statue of Liberty to salute!
So roll your boat with the gun in your pocket;
But, who is there to cover up your actions?
I was taught in a mud-house without slippers on my feet!
And, that's the kind of society i cam from;
I had my education on the streets with,
Fights, hunger and starvation to crown the day! !
But, your killer gun in your pocket will give you up one day.
Taught by the streets,
Lived by the streets,
Learned by the streets,
Loved by the streets,
Hated by the streets,
And, many of us married by the streets;
The cluster of a phobia into my maturity,
That is why i do not respect the gun in your pocket today.
Stealing and looting! !
With plans to make the next move,
And, as a human-being who lives on 50 Cent a day.
Life in the ghetto,
With the status of poverty without a fish in my hand;
Life to me was just like the mountain of snakes,
So, just roll your boat with merry on your face.
Life's fair fountain that eluded me! !
With stealing and looting as the order of the day;
And of the plans to make it work.
I was just living on 50 Cent a day,
And, joy to me was like the roasting of a chicken;
Hope to me was like the killing of rabbits! !
Peace to me was like the frying of plantains;
And, of an excellent value for many of us when one dies,
But were still mulling to make a case like a courageous leader.
To live on 50 Cent a day in the ghetto! !
With the muse of the cluster of a phobia into my maturity;
Life in the ghetto,
Life on the run with the bullet train!
But at times, it was like the straw on a camel's back.
Life in the ghetto,
Like the golden cup whose shock aroused! !
When one equals to a temper of heroic hearts;
With the negatives to meet all day Long.
Life in the ghetto,
Like half-naked Young Lovers who called for help!
Life in the ghetto,
Like the peace of one's mind with questions to the moon;
But all along, i have managed to live on 50 Cent a day.

Nice poem! You bring out the desperation of the poor very well in this poem. Thanks for sharing. (Report) Reply

KOFI - thanks for your 50 cent a day. It illustrates the way life as it is shaped by the unseen rulers has come down to money. Money is life. Not as it should be that a man/woman has his natural ability to survive in dignity with what God has provided. After all, everything we have comes from our planet. Money divides. Divide and rule. Its a conundrum. Born poor and live life to the full. Born rich and live life keeping the poor poor. Get rich and suddenly you are alone. You lose living life to the full and live life keeping the thieves in the banks and the government from stealing your money legitimately. These thieves are those born into riches or who see it and join them. The Stock Market is the greatest con and perpetrator of poverty. Using Global Warming as another disguise to shield its grip on the population keeping them wage-slaves. It must be obvious that the planet has been warming since the last ICE-AGE. We can live in warmth. We cannot live in Ice. WAKE UP poets of the world. Unite and bring about a world government. Peace on you. (Report) Reply

Such an amazing vivid poem. I love the way the imagery shifts - as in the two references to the Statue of Liberty - the shifting, the ebb and flow of this evocative poem got me entirely caught up in the rhythm, like being trapped in a fast flowing river of thought. I am so glad I read this poem of yours! Thanks for writing it! (Report) Reply

Crash Course: Silva vs. WeidmanEverything you need to know about this weekend's big fight. Overview Despite many UFC fighters predicting a Chris Weidman victory, Anderson Silva remains the Las Vegas favorite. (AP) A mind-blowing all-time great against an indomitable and resolute star on the rise. That is the buildup backdrop of the UFC middleweight championship fight between the longtime belt holder Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman in the main event of UFC 162 on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas (10 p.m. RT, PPV, $54.99). The 38-year-old Silva (33-4, 16-0 in the UFC), who ranks No. 1 both among 185-pounders and on the pound-for-pound list in the SI.com mixed martial arts rankings, has been the champion since October 2006, giving him the longest reign of anyone in the fight promotion's history. He's defended the belt a UFC-record 10 times and also holds promotion records for overall finishes (14) and finishes in title fights (nine). Overall, he's won 17 straight fights, many spectacularly. When MMA superlatives are spoken, they invariably apply to the Brazilian fistic virtuoso known as "The Spider." And when the topic of who's the best fighter of all time is raised, Silva is always part of the discussion. For many, the mention of his name ends the discussion. Weidman (9-0), No. 2 among middleweights in the SI.com rankings (and the No. 1 contender in the UFC's official media-voted tally), was a two-time NCAA Division I wrestler (after two years as a junior college All-American) who began his MMA career fighting just four years ago. In his fifth UFC bout, last July, he dominated top middleweight contender Mark Muñoz, finishing him in the second round with a crushing elbow followed by a barrage of punches. The robust performance elevated Weidman to the top of the heap among 185-pound challengers. In addition to the pay-per-view telecast of the five-fight main card, four prelims will be shown on FX (8 p.m. ET) and two will stream on the UFC's Facebook page (6:30 p.m.). Background The moment Silva's psychodrama with Chael Sonnen had played itself out a year ago, the champion began looking for bigger and better things. There was talk of a superfight against light heavyweight champion Jon Jones. There was talk of a superfight against welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre. In the end, "The Spider" settled for bigger but by no means better. He made a temporary move up to light heavy, something he'd done successfully twice before during his middleweight reign, and fought semiretired Stephan Bonnar. Make that: toyed with semiretired Stephan Bonnar. Before mercifully finishing in the closing seconds of the first round, Silva spent much of the fight with his arms hanging at his side, evading Bonnar's punches with nothing but head movement. It was the MMA equivalent of the Harlem Gloetrotters vs. the Washington Generals. Weidman, meanwhile, was fresh off his biggest career victory, a TKO of Mark Muñoz that culminated a dominant beatdown of the man who in the buildup to the fight was being talked about as possibly being next in line for a shot at Silva. That victory, combined with his mundane but convincing victory over Demian Maia in a fight Weidman took on 11 days' notice, thrust the New Yorker to the head of the queue. While waiting his turn, Chris underwent surgery on his right elbow and right shoulder, keeping him out of the cage for a full year. Even with Weidman inactive for so long, Silva was resistant to take this fight. Weidman has only nine bouts on a resume with very few recognizable names on it. Would this fight enhance his legacy? Would it sell to the MMA public? Considering all of that plus Weidman's skill set, which plays into Silva's weakness as a defensive wrestler, this seemed like a classic high-risk, low-reward fight for the champ. Until other fighters began picking Weidman, and the fanbase began getting hooked.Last Five FightsSilva Weidman10/13/12 Stephan Bonnar W TKO 1 7/11/12 Mark Muñoz W KO 27/7/12 Chael Sonnen W TKO 2 1/28/12 Demian Maia W UD 38/27/11 Yushin Okami W TKO 2 11/19/11 Tom Lawlor W Tech.

Not that Silva's going to try to take this fight to the canvas, but the stat is nonetheless impressive. Greatest HitsSilva knockouts and other highlights: Weidman's unbeaten run in the UFC: Matchup Did you see what Chael Sonnen did to Silva for about 23 minutes in their first meeting back in 2010? Sonnen started out doing much the same thing in their rematch two years later, taking down the champion within seconds and keeping him on his back for the entirety of the first round. Chris Weidman must follow that blueprint. Weidman is capable of doing Chael one better. He has the wrestling chops to put Anderson on the canvas, and he has the ability -- that is, the tenacity and jiu-jitsu skill -- to end the fight once it's a grappling match. For Sonnen, takedowns led to no more than a waiting game, as he merely maintained top control as the clock went tick-tick-tick and the cageside judges admired how he was in charge while they wrote a "10" next to his name, again and again. Until Chael wasn't in charge. Sonnen had Silva looking like a beaten man until barely two minutes remained and the champ suddenly pulled a triangle armbar out of his bag of magic tricks. Abra cadabra, bigmouth. Tap-tap-tap. That part is not in the Weidman blueprint. He can't just sit in the Silva guard. He has to finish. If he doesn't, Anderson will. And if "The Spider" escapes to his feet, watch out. Now the fight is in his world. Anderson Silva owns this world and chooses to live in it alone. Fighting Words "It's been a dream-come-true fight for me. Since I got to MMA, he's been the champion in my weight class. The only reason I got in this sport was to be No. 1. Right away I had to envision beating this guy if I was going to do it. And I believed I could beat him from Day 1."--Chris Weidman, speaking on the SI.com show 'SI Now' on Monday "It's good for Chris Weidman, not for me. He's a boy. He's a kid. It's good for Chris Weidman."--Anderson Silva, speaking back in February on the Fuel TV show 'UFC Tonight,' on what was then just a potential matchup with Weidman "I apologize that I'm going to [expletive] up all your superfights. If you take Anderson Silva out of the mix, the superfights are all gone. I'm gonna [expletive] up all your superfights and I'm gonna be your next champion. But what I will do for you is I'll give him an immediate rematch in Madison Square Garden as soon as he loses."--Weidman speaking to Dana White, according to the UFC president "All the pros, when you talk to all the fighters -- every fighter out there that I've talked to, that we've interviewed, thinks Weidman is going to beat him. Georges St-Pierre thinks he's going to win so much that he didn't even want to plan to fight Anderson."--Dana White "I believe it's a bad matchup for Anderson Silva. Very bad, style-wise. Anderson's weaknesses are Weidman's strengths. I've trained with Weidman, and his wrestling is on another level. Not only is Chris Weidman going to beat Anderson Silva, I believe he's going to finish Anderson. I believe it's not going to last too long, this fight."--Georges St-Pierre, UFC welterweight champion (via Sportsnet) "Weidman can absolutely do it. But against Anderson Silva the pressure is on not to make a mistake while he uses his strikes to set up a takedown. That is the critical thing for Weidman. I've spent some time with Chris, he's a smart dude, and he knows he's not going to try to strike with Anderson. And he has to be conscious of that fact: Striking-wise, Weidman cannot compete against Anderson on any level. At all."--Dominick Cruz, UFC men's bantamweight champion "I think Anderson Silva is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, but Weidman is the absolute worst possible matchup for him."--Ronda Rousey, UFC women's bantamweight champion "Gotta go with the East Coast boy Weidman. He's the whole package. Anderson has fought good wrestlers, but Chris has got great jiu-jitsu and a solid standup game as well."--Frankie Edgar, former UFC lightweight champion, who fights Charles Oliveira in Saturday's co-main event "Anderson has shown one weakness -- he can be controlled on the ground by powerful wrestlers -- and Weidman is the most powerful wrestler there is in the division. … The only way I see Weidman not winning is if he has a macho thing where he has illusions of striking with the best striker in the world. But I think he's too smart for that."--Frank Mir, former two-time UFC heavyweight champion "He's a beast. He's an animal. He will take this fight to Anderson Silva, but unlike some of the other guys, he will do it with aggression and skills."--Matt Serra, former UFC welterweight champion and Weidman's jiu-jitsu teacher "When Anderson is moving, he's the best. If he strikes the way he can strike, he'll have his way with Weidman. Weidman is very good at setting up his shots and Weidman is very good on the ground. I think if Anderson is on his back, he's going to have a long night." --Mark Muñoz, Weidman's last opponent and a former Silva training partner, speaking to MMA Fighting; he fights Tim Boetsch on Saturday's undercard "Weidman is a younger version of me, and a better version when it comes to aspects like top game. I took Anderson down repeatedly, and while I punched him all night, I don't have the submissions Weidman has. Weidman is going to have the same success I had with a ground attack, but then he's going to choke Anderson."--Chael Sonnen, who twice lost to Silva but dominated much of both fights "I don't think there is any fighter in the world who can hope to beat Anderson on the feet, but I think Weidman can and will get this to the ground and, once there, I expect him to be in a huge position to win the fight."--Kenny Florian, three-time UFC title challenger, current co-host of Fuel TV's [ROM]UFC Tonight "If anyone is going to beat Anderson Silva, and stop this guy retiring with the belt, undefeated in the UFC, for sure it is Chris Weidman."--Gray Maynard, two-time UFC lightweight title challenger The Odds Silva is favored, with odds at various sports books ranging from -224 (bet $100 to win $44.64) to -333 (bet $100 to win $30.03). Odds on Weidman range from +180 (bet $100 to win $180) to +220 (bet $100 to win $220). Prediction Weidman has what it takes to win. He has the wrestling. He has the tenacity. He is a humble man who is following his dream, and that's a hard man to stop. Silva is 38, and you have to get old sometime. The champ has had his troubles with wrestlers. It would not be shocking to see him on his back, being smothered by the challenger. It would, however, be shocking to see Weidman's hand being raised in the end. A lot of people think he can win. And they're right: He can. But how do you pick against Anderson Silva? Maybe if he bites off more than he can chew with a Jon Jones superfight. Maybe if he loses a step to the aging process. But not now. It's Anderson Silva, for goodness sake. Silva by TKO. Must-See Photo Silva unleashed a front-kick-to-the-face that levelled Vitor Belfort in February 2011.

All signs point to trouble for Canadians!
Quebec and British Columbia have shown leadership, committing to public consultations prior to expanding the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Quebec Pension Plan (QPP), delaying the final agreement on a deal that would hike costs for your business.
This is good news, but only if it results in a national consultation that brings all the facts to Canadians.
What can small business owners do?
Voices of opposition
In addition to the signatures on our online petition, CFIB has gathered over 50,000 paper petitions from small business owners opposed to CPP/QPP hikes and a further 40,000 in opposition to the Ontario Retirement Pension Plan (ORPP). CFIB has met with the premier or finance minister in every province, and shared with them the business community's strong opposition mandatory pension plan hikes.
Your views on CPP expansion and consultation
A national CFIB survey of its members conducted immediately after the government announced the new CPP deal shows that 81% of small business owners want governments to start consultation and delay implementation until they've had a chance to be heard. See more survey results.
What does CPP expansion look like?
In a scheme that will be doubly damaging for many employees and their employers, the agreement in principle to expand CPP will not only increase the rate of contributions, it will also draw in additional income by raising the threshold on income that was previously exempted from contributions.
CFIB has filed Freedom of Information (FOI) requests with the provinces that signed the agreement, as well as with the federal government, seeking to determine whether governments did any economic impact analyses. CFIB also sent an open letter to premiers and the Prime Minister, encouraging them to share analyses they did on the CPP deal
The signs of trouble are clear
The federal government has not committed to any further public consultations on the issue, despite the fact that polls show a low level of understanding about CPP expansion.
CPP expansion is not the favoured choice of Canadians for retirement savings. A public opinion poll and corresponding CFIB member survey on the subject found that, if given a choice, Canadian small business owners and employees both prefer RRSPs, TFSAs and personal investments over mandated CPP increases.
CFIB has been a leading voice behind calls to scrap the idea, pointing to research showing that an expanded CPP program leads to job cuts, downward pressure on wages, and the risk of business closures, especially during a time of economic uncertainty.
Mandatory CPP expansion will also lead to economic pressures: over one-third of employed Canadians said such increases will reduce their ability to spend on essential goods and services; two-thirds of small business owners said they will face increased pressure to freeze or cut workers' salaries.
When asked about the best way for government to help Canadians save more for retirement, only 18% of employed Canadians and 5% of small business owners chose mandatory increases in CPP contributions.

Five New Retailers Coming to North Utica
Posted in the Utica Forum
#1 Jul 3, 2013
More growth in Utica. This is great news!
#2 Jul 4, 2013
More retail ($7/hr) jobs. Try feeding a family on that!
#3 Jul 4, 2013
This is when a work history is important as these stores will also need Management positions.
For those of you that have sat back and sucked off the Welfare system, you will now find you should have been working and establishing a work record!
#4 Jul 4, 2013
These are all rinky dink business. All a front for our useless mayor. People, smell the roses.
#5 Jul 4, 2013
Mayor Robert Palmieri said., "Riverside Center has solidified its position as one of the most important commercial engines in the region."
I don't know what kind of drugs he's doing but they must be awful potent and good. He thinks riverside mall is an important commercial engine? Has he been down commercial drive in the last 10 years ? Get a clue.
Since: Oct 09
#6 Jul 4, 2013
5 new retailers, which means there will be about 15-20 jobs.OOOHH!!! Way to bring employment to the city.
#7 Jul 4, 2013
5 new retailers will be much much more than 20 jobs. Granted, many positions will most likely not be full time with benefits, but a job is a job and many people need work.
#8 Jul 4, 2013
It all adds up. People are going to be critical no matter what happens. They will say oh,nothing is going on. Well something is,so i feel it's a reflection on the whole area. Utica is coming back. I know it's hard for some of you to swallow. You're going to have to get use to it.
#9 Jul 4, 2013
Very, very true.
When I left my husband and took my 4 children with me, I had never worked during my marriage. I hounded the Employment Agencies for 6 months before they referred me to GE Radio Receiver Plant to make radios in the Molding Room. I had to work 3PM to 11PM and started with only a part-time position which in reality turned into a full time 6 days a week. Thankfully, I had moved in with my parents (who also worked full time)and they babysat my children while I worked.
That was the beginning of my work career - I put myself thru Business College with the money I was making at GE and after 2 years graduated and began my business career with the Supreme Court.
I am now retired from a professional position, my children are all grown (all stayed away from drugs and crime), and now retired enjoying the good life.
If I can do this, anyone else can do the same thing. All it takes is motivation, self-pride, and responsibility for yourself and others.
#10 Jul 4, 2013
If you can't afford a kid do not have one. Keep it in your pants.
Also,do your research. If you are with a man that has kids with another woman and he does not take care of them. Chances are you will be SOL to.
Trucking companies are going to hire a half million people in the next couple of years. I know people making $40,000 to over 80,000 a year doing it. Get off your lazy ass and get a job.
Also, we have 1000s of jobs unfilled in the area because a lack of training. They are mid level jobs that require more than high school but not college. Do some research the OD had some articles this year on it.
Further,the turning stone is always hiring but they do drung test,just like the trucking companies. So,that may exclude half of you on here.
#11 Jul 4, 2013
Many strong woman out there! Good for you. It does take motivation, self-pride, and responsibility. You just proved it is possible.
#12 Jul 4, 2013
I commend you on a life well lived. Unfortunately, not many of today's young generation display the self pride, motivation, and responsibility you talked about. one can always better themselves through hard work and determination, but it's much easier to sit on ones ass and live a less than desired lifestyle. Good old fashion hard work is quickly becoming extinct and more and more people are looking for a free ride and it's getting worse.
#13 Jul 4, 2013
Utica has a shrinking tax base. Any new retail businesses that open at the Riverside center will bring sales tax dollars to the city which is good news for the city.
#14 Jul 4, 2013
A paycheck plus food stamps will feed any family!!!
Sitting on your butt, smoking cigarettes and selling drugs only leads to jail or the grave.
YOU determine what direction you want your life to take.
#15 Jul 4, 2013
Any new income to the city wil be squandered and spent on baloney. Same old song. If you think you taxes will go down or your city services will improve than you need a brain transplant or a coffin. The politicans will spend all you give them and more.

Thread: MAC Blushes
December 20th, 2012, 10:05 AM #1
MAC Blushes
What is your favorite MAC blush? For me, I like too many to say. I usually layer a darker one over a lighter one. My fave so far is called STAY PRETTY. I have fair skin and have found that most of their blushes work for me. So which ones do y'all prefer and why?
December 21st, 2012, 05:22 PM #2
I love fleur power, Springsheen, copper tone and Raisin.
December 21st, 2012, 06:02 PM #3
I love harmony!! I know a lot of people use as a contour, but i like to use a light hand over superb EDSF!
I also love melba, springsheen,& warm soul!! from the limited edition side of things.. small vanity and the perfect cheek are amazing!! They're perfect everyday blushes for me.
Talking about limited edition, i have a ' subtle breeze ' blush from MAC's Naturally collection that I don't use at all! I tried it once, and it's a lovely color but I'm just not into pink blushes.. I'm definitely more into more natural colors or peach / coral ones.. idk why I bought that blush,
Makeup is my ART
December 21st, 2012, 06:40 PM #4
lately i'm reaching for springsheen a lot. but there are so many that i love! i like the pinks and purples too, but most often for everyday i go for peachy or brown tones...so harmony, emote, immortal flower, and legendary are the kind of shades i use.

Pink Cult. I also like Strada, but Pink Cult gets the most love from me, I think.NARS SG Siberia(ish) & RCC Chantilly; Kevyn Aucoin SSE in SX01; MUFE Ultra HD Y225/117 + white; circa 10-15 in MAC intensity. Oily t-zone.

Early Morning: Great color, great texture, so buildable
Marine Life: Still the cutest bright blush I own (though Lovecloud has given it a run for its money)
I think I could live with just these two blushes, if I had to.

My favorite is Blunt. I don't have anything like it. It can almost serve as a contour. It goes with so many looks. I also love Loverush, Modern Mandarin, Coppertone and Small Vanity(LE).

I love fleur power, peaches, warm soul and dainty. I also love well dressed, it comes out with a purple tinge on me and looks amazing paired with copperplate e/s through the socket. I kind of wish mac would launch more perm blushes.
January 15th, 2013, 04:45 PM #21
Pet Me MES. Subtle Breeze is a good almost the same MES.
I also like Tenderling for when the Pet Me is too pink for the look I am trying to achieve.

I've had a lot more MAC blushes but sold the ones I wasn't using. What I have left is- 1. Peaches 2. Cantaloupe 3. Gingerly 4. Melba 5. Warmth of Coral BNIB blushes - MM The Perfect Cheek MM Legendary Fleet Fast Pink Cult I would really like to use Pink Cult. Can anyone tell me what color lippies I can wear with it? Knowing what colors lippies I can wear with 1-5 would also be awesome!

here are some pairings that come to mind for the others:
Peaches, Gingerly (I don't have these so I can't help)
Cantaloupe (I would pair with Siss, Shy Girl, Peachstock, any peachy nude really)
Warmth of Coral (would pair with peachy nudes or browns such as Call My Bluff, Ever Hip, Reel Sexy, Kraft, Mocha, Honeyflower, Shy Girl, Fanfare)
