Troy Jollimore on Markets and Morality
Posted on Jul 22, 2010
"With the collapse of communism, markets and the political theories that advocate expanding the market have been enjoying a considerable resurgence," writes Stanford University professor Debra Satz in her new book, "Why Some Things Should Not Be for Sale: The Moral Limits of Markets." "Markets are not only spreading across the globe, but they are also extending to new domains, such as environmental pollution. For many people market institutions are assuming the role of an all-purpose remedy for the defects of the cumbersome government bureaucracies of the Western world, the poverty of the Southern world, and the coercive state control of the planned economies. This remains true despite the recent economic downturn."
Indeed, the market's stock has perhaps never been higher, and the idea that the voluntary exchange of goods between free individuals might answer every significant economic, social and even ethical question has perhaps never been more widely accepted. But in the midst of all this celebration of the market's virtues—and let us admit, as Satz is perfectly willing to admit, that a market can indeed be a very efficient and effective means of coordinating complicated activities among a large group of individuals with differing agendas—there are also some reasons for concern. Efficient, after all, does not necessarily imply admirable or just (or even, on occasion, tolerable). Moreover, technological advances have made available types of markets that were not possible before. Fertile women can now rent out their wombs for nine months and become surrogate mothers. And while it is not yet legal in this country for individuals to sell their kidneys and other bodily organs to those who need them, such a day may not be far off.
Indeed, given the current shortage of healthy organs, the creation of a market for them might seem not only inevitable but eminently sensible. And there is also, of course, the moral argument for allowing such sales: My kidneys are mine (if not, then whose are they?), and the fact that something is mine gives me certain rights over it, including, ordinarily, the right to sell it to someone else at a price that we both agree on. This argument forms the core of the standard libertarian explanation of why we should have free markets in organs, in surrogate motherhood, in prostitution and, indeed, in pretty much everything.
Why Some Things Should Not Be for Sale: The Moral Limits of Markets
By Debra Satz
Oxford University Press, 264 pages
Is it true, though, that the right to something must always include the right to freely exchange it? Take what is perhaps the most compelling apparent counter-example, that of vote-buying. I suppose we could imagine a supremely committed libertarian who would argue, in Robert Nozick's memorable phrase, that government ought not to prohibit "capitalist acts between consenting adults"—not even when what is for sale is an individual's right to vote in an election. But it would be difficult, one suspects, to find very many people who would accept this. Nearly all of us understand that the very functioning of a democracy depends on the powerful and wealthy not having the ability simply to buy their way into the country's political offices—at least not in so blatant a manner.
Vote-selling, then, is a fairly easy and noncontroversial case of a market that ought not to be permitted. But where else should the market not go? The most controversial cases discussed by Satz are probably those of surrogate motherhood, which is currently permitted in the U.S., and organ selling, which is not. In contrast to the vote-selling case, allowing a market to operate in either of these contexts might not seem inherently anti-democratic. The popular perception, indeed, is that if restricting markets in such goods is justifiable, it is so because to put such goods on the market is to value them in the wrong way: It degrades or demeans a womb or kidney to offer cash for the use of it.
But of course this reason for prohibiting such markets meets strong opposition from the libertarian, who will simply ask: Shouldn't it be up to the person who owns the good in question whether or not offering it up in exchange for cash is appropriate? If an individual agrees that kidneys are sacred, in a way that makes such exchanges inappropriate, then she need not offer her own kidneys for sale. But what right do we have to impose our own value judgments on others?
Satz's approach is quite different, and renders the cases of surrogate motherhood and organ sale much closer to the vote-selling case. On her view, what all or nearly all "noxious" markets have in common is that they undermine the ideal of equal standing between persons, or of equal democratic citizenship:
Particularly worrisome, in terms of equality concerns, are exchanges in which one of the parties is in a position to exploit the "underlying extreme vulnerabilities" of the other:
Such vulnerabilities are morally salient in, for instance, the organ case: According to many people, Satz writes, "a kidney sale is objectionable because it is a paradigmatic desperate exchange, an exchange no one would ever make unless faced with no reasonable alternative." Sales of this kind are objectionable on the individual level, but the objections multiply when one considers the general social context. "It has been keenly noted that international organ markets transfer organs from poor to rich, third world to first world, female to male, and nonwhite to white." (One might be reminded of Kazuo Ishiguro's novel "Never Let Me Go"—a comparison explicitly drawn by Satz—which depicts the plight of a subclass of human clones grown solely so that their organs can be harvested for the benefit of the ailing wealthy.)
Organ sales also tend to involve another characteristic feature of objectionable markets, weak agency, which in Satz's usage most often indicates that one of the transacting parties is significantly under-informed. Many potential organ sellers in India, for instance, are quite unaware of the results of a recent study of kidney sellers in that country: Over 86 percent of participants experienced a substantial decline in health following their surgery, and 79 percent said they regretted the decision to sell their kidneys. And even if one knows those facts, imagination can fail us: It is hard to anticipate, perhaps, what it is like to have a kidney surgically removed and to live without it.

new to this web site and form of exercize. my name is rob and i have been looking for a simple regimine that i can stick to.
a little about myself first;
i am 41 and about 30#s overweight. im 6'2" and 215 give or take. i have a small frame "thin arms and legs" but a gob o fat around the waist and chest. skinny and fat at the same time :cry: i have been married for 15 years and have two teen age daughters(im in trouble)
my first goal-priority is to get my weight down to 190 and go from there. really i dont mind being 215, i just dont want 30% of my weight in fat. i want to be around for my great great great grandkids :shock:
next i WILL compete in a triathalon so building big muscle is not important to me but being physically fit is. i dont want to be scrawney though either. ideal would be to lose 40# fat and gain 10 15# muscle. keeping my weight below 200#.
i know i can do this i have already dropped 20 or so pounds, but those were easy, i quit drinking pepsi. 4 or 5 a day. the weight really just fell off. no effort on my part aside from avoiding the vending machine at work.
anyway, today i installed a chin up bar in the garage and will start my training tommorow. i was a bit surprised that i was almost able to do one chin up almost.
i will begin on level one and stay there for a while unless i make great gains in my fitness. and great loss in my weight.

Another great Safety Fest event, the kids especially won't want to miss, is the daily avalanche dog demos at 12:30 p.m. in Burning Stones Plaza. Typically, a volunteer will "get buried" in an avalanche-type scenario and the Copper Ski Patrol Dog (yes, the dogs are actually members of the Copper Ski Patrol) will use their heightened sense of smell to find the "buried volunteers."
Make sure to visit Jack's Bar and Grille in Center Village, where guests can view the Safety Posters that were designed and submitted by our own Frisco Elementary Students. These students designed each poster around the 'Skier Responsibility Code' messages. To view the winning posters, be sure to visit Alliroo Alley, located on the American Flyer lift line, between towers 25-29, where the winning posters have been made into signage for this fun kids trail.
Copper has new and improved safety initiatives this season, with clever and unique nomenclatures. Most of what you will see at this year's Safety Fest will revolve around these three initiatives. These new safety initiatives are, in no particular order:
In addition, this year many Copper employees will be more involved in Safety Fest, during the employee department decorating contest. Employees are invited to dress up or decorate their work areas, emphasizing Copper's new safety initiatives. The main reason for this is to help employees engage our guests during Safety Fest, and get everybody talking safety. Decorating will be judged on creativity and guest/employee engagement, as well as the ability to emphasize one, two, or all three of Copper's new safety initiatives. Look around Copper during Safety Fest for some creative employee Safety ideas!

Condensation Modeling in LED Headlight Development
July 30, 2015 by News Editor
Filed under Features
Condensation in automotive head lights can be detrimental to consumer acceptance of a product and in certain instances lead to recalls and warranty issues. This presentation describes a numerical method for transient simulation of liquid film formation process on the surface of an element in a head light as part of a CFD thermal analysis.
Automotive LED headlight reliability and optical performance requires careful thermal design especially due to LED operating temperature & radiometric performance. As part of this condensation simulation topic, adequate radiative heat transfer modeling is described on using a "band" Monte-Carlo radiation model. This enables proper simulation of the focusing influences of semi-transparent materials (glass, plastic), reflective and refractive surfaces in a complex headlight design.

BJP slams HP government for hike in power tariff
Dutt claimed that the Congress government had failed to give any relief to people during its four months rule.
Shimla: State unit of BJP has criticised the government for steep hike in power tariff, saying it has burdened 18 lakh domestic consumers with over Rs 500 crore. "For the first time, power tariff has been hiked by 70 paise per unit and even domestic consumers have not been spared," party spokesman Ganesh Dutt said.
He accused the State Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERC) of unilaterally announcing the tariff order without inviting objections or suggestions from the people. Dutt said the tariff for domestic consumers has been increased from Rs 3.69 per unit to Rs 4.28 per unit, for industrial consumers, it has been hiked from Rs 4.76 per unit to Rs 5.50 per unit while commercial consumers would have to pay Rs 5.95 per unit instead of Rs 5.25 per unit at present which was a huge burden on consumers.
However, he did not take into account the subsidy announced by the government. Dutt claimed that the Congress government had failed to give any relief to people during its four months rule and hike in power tariff was "first gift of the government to the people". He also alleged that the government was purchasing costly luxury cars when existing cars were in good condition, and asked it to refrain from indulging in "wasteful and avoidable" expenditure.

Evangelist & Missionary
to the United States
Founder and President
WHEEL POWER Christian Cyclists
Recognizing the unlimited availability for witnessing that one has on a bicycle, God led Judy to step out as a full-time faith missionary here in the United States, and developed WHEEL POWER Christian Cyclists. Headquartered in Lynchburg, Virginia, the goal and prayer of this ministry is to use the sport of cycling to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ, reaching as many people as possible, and to encourage and train Christians to boldly share their faith.
Throughout her life, Judy has reached many personal achievements including setting a World Record for stationary cycling. The Lord allowed that to happen in April, 1991. Judy rode 3,000 miles on a Lifecycle stationary bike at Courtside Athletic Club in Lynchburg, Virginia. She accomplished this feat by pedaling 22 hours a day and finishing in just 7 days, 8 1/2 hours. Holding the World Record has given Judy many opportunities to witness and share her faith in Jesus Christ, especially in the secular arena. It is Judy's desire to live by God's Word and proclaim Romans 8:28. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose." Romans 1:16 is also one of her favorite verses, "I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it s the power of salvation to all who believe."
A very successful sports career came early for Judy, starting at age five, playing and competing in tennis, volleyball, cycling, swimming, and basketball. She lettered in several sports throughout high school and at California Baptist University. Judy was also drafted by the San Francisco Pioneers, a professional women's basketball team after college in 1979. Although sports were a major part of her life and brought her great joy and sense of accomplishment, she always felt like she was missing something. Several years after a divorce, as she was seeking to know the truth about life and death, she heard the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. As a 28 year old college junior, Judy came to know Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior in February 1978.
Judy had been raised in a Catholic home, the middle of seven children. Her Mother was a nun before leaving the Convent, meeting her Dad, and getting married. As a single parent raising her son, Steve of only three years old, Judy finished her education and the Lord provided ministry opportunities as a Christian high school teacher, coach, and later as a college administrator at Liberty University. It was after a lay-off from Liberty University that she asked the Lord, "What now?" instead of "Why?" And it was after much prayer and fasting that the Lord gave Judy the vision to start WHEEL POWER Christian Cyclists.
Knowing that life is short and it is only what we do for Christ that will last, Judy continues to lead bicycle mission trips throughout the United States. She personally has bicycled across the Country almost every year since her first trip in 1991 just to meet people and tell them about Jesus. Judy's testimony is a remarkable story of God's love and direction in one person's life. While Judy stays active in her local church and in the Lynchburg community, she spends most of her time organizing and leading mission trips throughout the United States on bicycles. She teaches Christians how to talk to Anyone, Anytime, Anyplace about Jesus and personally spreads the GOOD NEWS wherever she goes. It is Judy's heart's desire to see people come to know the Lord as their personal Savior. She believes the Bible teaches us as Christians to have compassion for the lost and share God's love with everyone we meet. Judy also sees it as our responsibility to be faithful and obedient to God's Word as we have been commanded in Matt. 28:19-20, Mark 16:15 and other Scriptures throughout the Bible. Judy is a vivacious, energetic, and motivational woman who generates enthusiasm and excitement wherever she goes. 1Peter 3:15 reminds us to "set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have."
For a free copy of Judy's personal testimony, "Can We pedal Our Way to Heaven?" please request one by e-mailing her at email@example.com. You can also purchase additional tracts at www.wheelpower.org/store. GOOD NEWS witnessing cards are also available at this web site. If you would like to schedule Judy to speak at your church, small group, woman's retreat, or other functions, please e-mail her and make your request know.

#1 UPDATE Employee
Good company in my experience
SUBMITTED: Monday, April 13, 2015POSTED: Monday, April 13, 2015
I have worked with micor for many many years. I've always been treated fair but then again, I do things right and don't expect something for nothing. in my experience, the only time a tech had to take a pic of his jobs is when he was doing bad quality work. So this was ask of the tech as a get back on track thing. Sign on bonuses are for experienced techs that need nO training. So if you were there for two years, seems like you would of worked that out sooner or left sooner. on the check being short- again, if this went on every week, why did you put up with it for so long? I don't think anyone could stay in business for as long as these people have if they conducted themselves in this manner. They have been around since the 90's if I'm not mistaken and have work all over the country. Sounds more like a disgruntled person than someone who actually got done wrong. Cause man if you allow people to do you wrong for this long, you need to look at you.

I'm thinking to make these Boy Scout snow anchors
Pretty smart. Anyone made these and would they be good enough, should be better than grocery bags, right? I'm going to use it on a Golite Shangri-la 3, so I need to be confident that it would work and must be light as possible.
@greg23Locale: Colorado
I didn't check out your link, but I think using Boy Scouts as anchors is probably against the rules.
@rutilateLocale: Pacific Northwest
Those are a pretty cool idea. If your goal is ultralight, then grocery sacks are going to be lighter than any fabric, bucket fragment, or stake out there. Remember Occam's razor? In this case your simplest idea is actually the cheapest and most effective.
@foundLocale: Sacramento, CA
Should be fine. Just remember that you won't be able to set them up tight until the snow firms up. So make sure that you have an adjustable length of rope on them.
@girotrekkerLocale: Northern California
I really like the idea of grocery bags, but I'm afraid if there is a strong wind, the guyline would pull away from the bag. As to the plastic anchors, would it become brittle and break in the cold?
@tkkncLocale: Desert Rat in the Southwest
I had our Scouts bring some sticks for deadmen. Then, I did not have to worry about the Scouts leaving bags or plastic stakes in the snow. After the snow firms up, the Scouts will not remove the bags or plastic stakes (a few of the Scouts they will leave them in the snow). Then they will wonder why they do not have stakes at the next campout/backpacking trip.

5 Tips For Success In High Country Mule Deer Hunting
Scout Properly
The most important piece of advice I have about scouting is to make sure to be set up at the highest point possible right at daylight to glass. Start by quickly glassing open areas for obvious signs of movement, After that, glass the eastern facing hillsides for the first 30 minutes of daylight as the sun rises, and then switch over to the western facing slopes, They will still have shadows and deer will stay feeding up to an hour longer. In the afternoons do the exact opposite of the morning, look over the eastern facing slopes first and then switch to the western facing ones for the last 30 minutes of daylight. Most of animals you see will be within the first half hour of daylight. It is very important to be set up and ready to glass before daylight. With the heat of summer, many bucks will stay bedded in the shade until dark. Most of these bucks will never be seen if you are looking up or straight across at them. I cant stress enough the importance of being at the highest point and to make sure you arrive before daylight, and in the evenings stay until it is completely dark. You will see more mature bucks in the first five minutes and the last five minutes of daylight than you will the entire rest of the day.
Keep a Journal
I recommend keeping a journal of all your scouting trips. I even go so far as to make notes when looking at maps and topographical computer programs. It will also come in handy during the slow parts of the day to jot down quick ideas that come to your head, or sign you may see. There is never an unsuccessful scouting trip. Even though some will not be as successful as others, you will be in beautiful country and crossing off sections of the map and narrowing the search for one of those bucks, trophy animals that manage to be seen in the wintering grounds year after year. Though you will certainly remember every mature buck you come across, youre not near as likely to remember a smaller buck. Bucks in the high country tend to use the same areas year after year and this may be a deer youll want to check out two or three years down the road.
Test Your Equipment
Scouting trips are also a great time to test out equipment. Make sure it is comfortable, fits properly and keep track of what gear you use and other items you wish you had, so you can add them the next time. Make sure to take all your equipment and test it out, before the hunt. Things that cause inconveniences in low land day hunts have the potential to be fatal on a wilderness hunt. I have seen far too many people show up for a week long wilderness hunt with a brand new pair of hunting boots that they are breaking out of the box for the first time.
Get in Shape
The last piece of advice, and probably the most crucial to you having an enjoyable hunt, is to get in shape. I suggest that anyone who plans on hunting the high country come fall start a workout program at least six weeks out. Personally, I start 10 to 12 weeks out. Cardio and weight training should be done at least three times a week, and it is very important to keep mixing your exercises up to ensure your muscles do not get used to the workouts. The last few weeks before the hunt, I recommend going on some hikes with a backpack equal in weight to what you will be packing into the backcountry. It isnt so much the first couple days of the hunt that will bother you if you havent put in the work, but the fact that by the end of the hunt youll be tired and not be able to keep hunting hard all day, that could potentially blow your one chance at success. These high country mountains can be very tough on a mans body and mind. So make sure to put in the work before the season starts. Crossfit.coms workout of the day is a great place to get started if you are unsure about what kind of workout plan to get on. They have some great and challenging workouts. Make sure to eat healthy as well. Think about it as fuel for your body, and only give yourself the best fuel available. If anyone would like advice or help setting up a workout, or have questions in general, please feel free to shoot me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

UPDATE 2-Egypt court scraps land sale to Palm Hills
* Egyptian property firms reeling from legal challenges
* Seen weighing on firm's cash flows, cancellations
(Adds analyst comments on wider impact, background)
By Sherine El Madany
CAIRO, April 26 (Reuters) - An Egyptian court ruled on Tuesday that a state land sale to Palm Hills Development (PHDC.CA: Quote) was illegal and scrapped the contract, sending more alarm through Egypt's battered property sector.
Property firms in Egypt are reeling under a string of legal challenges to their land holdings since a court ruled last year that a state deal with Talaat Moustafa Group (TMG) (TMGH.CA: Quote), the country's biggest developer, was illegal. [ID:nLDE6AL0W2]
Analysts said the court verdict on Tuesday will weigh on Palm Hills' cash flow in 2011, as the firm struggles with mounting debt and liabilities, as well as rattle Egypt's property market because of fear of contagion to other cases.
A judicial panel is expected to submit this week reports on whether a government contract with TMG should be scrapped and if a state land sale to Egyptian Resorts' (EGTS.CA: Quote) Sahl Hasheesh Red Sea resort is illegal. The judicial body's decisions have in the past influenced court verdicts.
Hisham Halaldeen, an analyst at Naeem Holding, said Palm Hills had originally bought the land for around 300 pounds per square metre, whereas other land auctions in the same area of Katameya on Cairo's outskirts had fetched 750 pounds per square metre. Continued...

Congratulations to the Black Caps for ... well, for not losing. If ever you wanted evidence that this country lacks a certain oomph, then the reaction to this week's test series draw with England is all the proof you need.
Jaws were clenched and nails bitten as the country was held spellbound by the most dramatic game of cricket played anywhere for a long time.
And when the team managed to turn a certain win into an odds-confounding draw, the public responded as though this was the greatest sporting feat since the Greek messenger Pheidippides accidentally ran the first marathon.
Equally naturally, there was relief that the tawdry soap opera of the captaincy debacle and associated fall-out from behind the scenes had not completely thrown the players off their game.
And this being cricket, the record-keeping obsessives were ready the moment the last ball was bowled to find relatively minor landmarks of cricket history in the previous few days' play and divert attention from the result.
This was only the fourth time in test history, a talkback caller breathlessly informed the nation, that a team had managed to play out the entire last day of a match after losing four wickets the day before.
Admittedly, that team was England, but at least it was in a match we were in, too.
It's not great to be so far ahead you can't lose and then stumble at the last minute. You can look at it as tragedy, and you can look at it as farce, but you can't look at it as a model for how things should play out. But we do, in so many areas.
The response to the draw reflects our deep-seated fear of success. We think we want to succeed but really we'd rather not.
Success breeds the expectation of success, meaning you have something to live up to. Life is much less stressful if you believe that near enough is good enough.
You can congratulate yourself on your effort without having to deliver anything more. This is why so many people who do want to get ahead get out of the country, and also why a million or so New Zealanders are contributing to the success of other nations.
Once we stop giving ourselves prizes for not turning up at all - and insist on doing not just the best we can but on doing better than the other guys - we may make the most of this country's still barely tapped potential.
Iwon't miss blink-and-you-missed-him TVNZ news head Ross Dagan, who has returned to Australia.
Anyone who can say, as he did, that his changes to TV One's 7pm slot were criticised because "people have an entrenched view of what they think TV news and current affairs should be" obviously does not understand that his job is to serve the interests of his audience - whether he agrees with their view of what news and current affairs should be or not.
The Auckland Arts Festival is over and a grand time was had by all. Regrettably, among the many performances that make up such an event, those of the critics are often overlooked.
There is, in fact, much entertainment to be had in watching them try to outdo each other in ever more pretentious scribblings.
Here, too, the standard was high this year, but one phrase did leap off the page at me and raise the bar for feather-headed fatuity. A reviewer wrote that the performance under review dealt with "the depressing omnipresence of gravity".
Personally, gravity has never depressed me. I celebrate its omnipresence. I like the way it makes my coffee stay in its cup, stops my children floating into space and keeps this planet revolving around the sun.

Securing respect
Behavioural expectations and anti-social behaviour in the UK
Distributed for Policy Press at the University of Bristol
296 pages
Over recent years, the Government focus on anti-social behaviour has been replaced by a focus on respect. Tony Blair's 'Respect Action Plan' was launched in January 2006, Gordon Brown has spoken of "duty, responsibility, and respect for others", and the Conservatives have launched their 'Real Respect Agenda'. Within government, the respect agenda has a cross-departmental influence, but like anti-social behaviour before it, 'respect' has not yet been tightly defined. And what is it about the contemporary UK that sees respect as lacking, that in order to tackle anti-social behaviour we first need to 'secure respect'?Until now, there has been little attention in the academic and policy literature on the Government's push for respect. "Securing respect" contains ten essays from leading academics in the field that consider the origins, current interpretations and possible future for the Respect Agenda. The contributors explore various policy and theoretical discourses relating to 'respect', behavioural expectations and anti-social behaviour. The book follows the five key themes of: respect in context; young people and children; communities and families; city living; and issues of identity and values. "Securing respect" is inter-disciplinary, linking theory and practice, and will be of value to practitioners, academics and students with interests in criminology, socio-legal studies, social policy, urban geography, housing, social history, sociology and landscape.

Absolutely not. I have two patients who I am still treating 3 years later who removed moles this way. These were left with severe infections, and now have large scars. It is a horrible, horrible, horrible idea. Also, technically, if something is "removed" you have NO idea what it was--was it dangerous, cancerous, precancerous, etc. All moles are not created equal, and no person should harm themselves by doing home removals with apple cider vinegar. Love your body enough to treat it properly by going to a trained dermatologist. Period.
Is It Safe to Remove Moles with Apple Cider Vinegar?
Doctor Answers 7
Mole removal in Los Angeles
Apple cider vinegar can cause hyperpigmentation and is thus not a good modality for treatment of moles. Try a surgeon or dermatologist. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles
Web reference: http://surgery90210.com/cosmetic-dermatology/70/mole-removal.aspx
Mole removal
I would discourage you from using apple cider vinegar to remove moles. I would recommend that you see a plastic surgeon for an evaluation and possible treatment of your moles.

Mole removal
You should consult a dermatologist to ensure your moles are normal and then discuss removal if you wish. Apple cider vinegar may burn your skin if used aggressively but will not remove moles.
Removal of moles
It is unlikely that the apple cider vinegar will remove your moles. You wold be better off visiting a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon and having them removed surgically or shaved. It would also mean that a pathology specimen will be sent off so that they can be diagnosed as to what they actually are.
Stephen Salerno
Removing moles with apple cider vinegar
There are many ways to remove moles but apple cider vinegar is not one of them. Depending on their size and location, moles can be easily removed by one of two methods: a shave excision or an excision with suture closure. A shave excision is a procedure where the mole is actually "shaved off" at a level just below the surface of the skin. The other method is an excision with suture closure which uses both dissolving and non-dissolving sutures to give the best cosmetic result. It would be best for you to see a dermatologist to discuss your options.

You can safely use apple cider vinegar but nothing will happen...
if you want the moles removed, see your dermatologist...and make certain the moles are benign...if they are, think twice about whether it's a good idea to mess with normal moles...can do for cosmetic reasons...but maybe the outcome will not be what you want...be cautious...

Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
On April 6, 2013 I entered into a contract with Michael Davis c/o Breakout Interactive Marketing, Little Monkey Consulting and CM Davis Holdings, LLC. I contracted out to Michael Davis in a contract stating that he, himself would preform website development and consulting services. I sent the files for the project on a Friday and was told that I would have a completed project early the next week. When i contacted Michael Davis I was met with "oh i will have things for your shortly." I came to find out that he was not doing the work at all but sending it overseas to India to have done. When i did finally get a response from Michael Davis, it was a link to a site that sorta looked like what I gave him, but had been redone by this India-Based company. In my contract that I had Michael Davis from 1151 Lake Shore Drive Naples, FL 34103 sign, it cleary states that all work must be performed by Michael Davis and not be farmed out to an overseas vendor. Since this was clearly the case, I asked for my deposit back, clearly fraud and in direct violation of my contract.
It is clear that Michael Davis is a scam artist that lures individuals and companies via sites like Craigslist to rip them off by misrepresenting himself as something he is not, a true website developer/programmer.
Warning, do not use Michael Davis or any association with his companies; Breakout Interactive Marketing, Little Monkey Consulting or CM Davis Holdings, LLC.

#3 REBUTTAL Owner of company
Work Was Completed and Not Paid in Full
SUBMITTED: Monday, December 30, 2013POSTED: Monday, December 30, 2013
"Mark" requested high res PSD files to be converted to a WordPress site. The site was completed as he had stated with only half of the money up front. (a normal request for a project and only $150) "Mark" was then provided with the work in the span of a 3 day period. Upon sending him the demo site, he immediatley stated that it was awful and would not work.
"Mark" was told that any error he found would be corrected before any final payment was required. Even though the site was completed and functional as to his initial specs, he went on to state that M C Davis Holdings did not complete the work as he had requested. He stated that there were numerous errors on the site and that it was not done correctly.
The site was completed in 3 days and M C Davis Holdings received a mere $150 for this work. "Mark" made numerous accusations of fraud and threatened legal action to no avail. This man was indeed himself a scam artist. He requested something with specifics upon the initial contract and then wanted to change the terms of the agreement for the design upon providing a final product. M C Davis Holdings offered to remodel the site to any specs he had but he refused and requested a full refund for his deposit, which was stated as non-refundable in the initial contract.
Upon not receiving his small deposit back, he then went on to detail all specifics of the company online and furthermore harass the employees of the company. Calling sometimes 10 or more times per day after receiving notification that he was made an offer that was refused and the relationship was thus terminated.
The accusation of a scam artist company is unfounded and that of an unhappy individual who may or may not have had the money to pay for the full development.
"Mark's" company, in fact, hired M C Davis Holdings to do work that he himself was unable to perform and/or complete for his personal client(s).

Anyway, here is an updated address that he is now using in Naples, Florida:

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Hey ya'll.
Just after a little advice.
I have agreed to take part in 2 back to back half marathons (over 2 days). I am in no sense a runner, I broke my back 5 years ago which didnt help much. I have agreed to do this as the charity is one that is very close to my heart. I have 4 weeks until the event. I am quite a fit guy, I like to stay in shape I hit the gym, swim and play sport regularly, however long distance running is something I have never done. I am not looking to break records I am not really that interested on the time, I just want to finish. If anyone has any litte tips, tricks or advice to throw my way. It will be most appreciated.
Make sure you have a correct pair of shoes and take it easy!!
In four weeks you are not going to be able to make significant changes to your endurance level, so don't try and kill yourself by putting in the miles in the next month.
A run walk strategy is probably your best bet (e.g. run five mins, walk two mins & repeat). The ratio depends on your current level of fitness, so it may be worth spending the next couple of weeks experimenting with this.
If your finding it easy on the first day, don't get over-confident as you'll suffer twice as badly on the second day.
Try and avoid stairs for the first few days afterwards.
Good luck.
I will try the walk run, this week. Thank you.
Start training in July
Seriously, it's hard to offer advice without knowing what you've really done.... If you really must do this, then I'll give what advice I can... Although I've done quite a bit of running over the years, until recently, I've always stopped at 10 miles... so this advice is based on that experience... and quite a lot of reading round the subject of distance of running - preparing for my first marathon this coming Sunday.
1/ if you've never been to a proper running shop to buy shoes, then go - this afternoon if possible. Take your current running shoes. If they're friendly, and not busy, they might well advise on a range of things. They might say you don't need new ones. But it's best to check - you are about to put your feet and legs under a whole load of unfamiliar stresses, and you need footwear that protects you. It is very possible to buy shoes that will actually harm you if you take on all this running.
2/ Whilst you're in the shop, even if you don't buy shoes, you can 'pay' for their advice by buying some twin-skin blister resistant running socks. Also ask about something to protect yourself from runner's nipple. Something I'd forgotten about until recently! But most runners will suffer excruciating pain from time to time as your shirt rubs your nipples with every step.
3/ look at the half-marathon training plans on the internet. make an honest assesment of where you might be (it's pretty clear you will be a long long way short of what you 'should' have done... but if you are as fit as you say, you should at least be able to get round the first half marathon.
4/ In the next 3 weeks, get some SLOW runs in. Everything should be slow. As you're a gym/pool/sportsperson, you'll probably need a pace that makes you feel a bit embarrassed at how slow you're going. Don't do anything that involves speed running (I'll presume your other sports/gym will have given you a modicum of sharpness). Save ALL your running for building endurance. Don't try to do TOO much.... there's simply not time, and you're likely to pick up a nagging injury. If you're as fit as you say.. and you do some sports that involve running (eg footy) then it wouldn't surprise me if you could launch into 6 miles straight away. Then just run this sort of disance every other day... with a 9 miler on the Sunday 2 weeks before.
In the penultimate week, I'd say Monday rest, Tuesday 7 miles Wed 3 miles easy, Thursday 3 miles easy, Friday 6 miles easy, Saturday rest (or swim) , and Sunday 10 miler easy . Then hardly do ANYTHING in the last week. Literally do a 20 minute light jog on perhaps the Tuesday and Thursday.
All the mileages I just mentioned are very much finger in the air... and are over-ambitious if you are greener than I've given you credit you for. Be honest.... and if you really should start at lower mileages then do...
This is not at all ideal. Normally, you would build up milage slowly over a period of 14 weeks or so... then start to 'taper off' your training for the last 2-3 weeks, not 6 days.... letting your muscles get fully repaired and fueled up. So, I'm just trying to condense all that. But be prepared to stop if you get injured. What I'm proposing is a bit of a risk... and it's up to you to decide if this cause is worth you risking injuries.
Before EVERY run... spend 10 minutes loosening up (ok... in practice 5 minutes might have to suffice... but if you do this, then run the first mile even slower!). To warm up, start by walking, then jogging and flexing all the muscles you'll use. Don't "stretch" before your run. After EVERY run... warm down by slowing to a jog, then walk
Darn it... I wrote quite a lot more, but it's got cut! There must be a limit on the lengths of posts, but I got no warning!
Basically, I said search youtube for tips on warm ups and stretches.
I said something about running the first race very slowly. To take on milk or other protein soon after finishing to help repair muscles. To alternate between 10 mins sat in a cold bath... then a warm shower or bath for 5 mins... to help sort you legs out (do 2 or 3 times)
You've emptied your muscle fuel stores... so try to eat some sweets during the first run... eat carbohydrates after it.. rehydrate.... sleep. Warm up really gently the next day. You're susceptible to injury on day 2 so be prepared to drop out if you must.
I probably wrote a lot more, and much more clearly.... but having lost it... I can't bring myself to type it again. Sorry.
. Good luck, you 'nutter' !
Wow, great advice. I have even printed it off so I can pass it to the other guys that are in the same boat as me.
Comfortably ran 6 miles last night so your schedule will come in very handy.
Thank you for taking the time to advise. Mucho appreciated.

The All New House Of Tiny Tearaways, BBC3
I KNOW I shouldn't have expected much sense from a programme called Penis Envy, but this flaccid documentary was arrant balderdash from the moment it began. "Today we live in a super-size world," proclaimed our host, Stephen K Amos. Do we? What does that actually mean? "We want bigger buildings." No we don't. Who wants bigger buildings? Giants? "The pressure to measure up in the trouser-snake stakes has never been higher." Really? Where is the evidence that men are currently freaking out en masse about their penis size? Looking out of my window right now, I've just spied two blokes walking down the street, neither of whom appeared to be unduly concerned about the dimensions of their genitals. I myself am typing these words under the calm and rational assurance that I shouldn't waste my energy worrying about other's men's penises. Life's too short. As, it must be said, however, are some men's penises.
So while Amos's assertion that "the whole nation seems to be in the grip of penis envy" was, well, balls, frankly, there were some men in this whose did seem obsessed with extending their manhood. Amos himself seemed unduly concerned with this problem, despite being perfectly happy with his own penis size. As a stand-up comic he professed to being interested in finding out whether there was a serious side to "the classic knob gag", although I reckon he just wanted to get on telly, and this was the only vehicle he could find. If I were him I would've waited until something came along which didn't force him to take a back seat to endlessly repeated footage of flaccid todgers. As anyone who has ever caught a glimpse of themselves naked in a strip-lit kitchen while making a sandwich at 3am will attest, the penis really is an ugly, pathetic looking thing when seen in harsh lighting. Most of the members caught in unflattering close-up here looked for all the world like dehydrated yaks. I really could've done without such exposure: but then without this "nudge nudge/wink wink" factor, the programme would have had no reason to exist.
Amos caught up with the unfortunately named Randy, who had travelled to California in order to have an extra inch added by a top phalloplasty surgeon. Since his wife had never complained about the size, Randy said he was going under the knife for his own self-esteem. Why? If your partner has no complaints, what should you care? Amos felt that most men equate masculinity with penis size, which may be true, but I reckon that if no-one has ever looked askance at your little gentleman, then you probably shouldn't worry about it. A recent poll found that 45 per cent of men said that they'd like to have a bigger penis, whereas 88 per cent of women said that they were perfectly happy with their partner's equipment. Granted, that means that there are still 22 per cent of women in dire need of some tweezers and a magnifying glass, but penis envy is clearly borne more out of vanity than necessity.
The All New House Of Tiny Tearaways was incredibly shrill and screechy. Under the auspices of two child psychologists, three families attempted to sort out their problems via a complex regime of shouting and weeping. Not only was my head pounding by the end, but it put me off having kids for life.

More than eight million people have read 16-year-old Sofia Kayes's first novel, The Billion Dollar Girl. It's the story of Ella, an "ordinary girl" whose life changes when a stranger tries to buy her.
Most nights, Sofia posts chapters of the novel on a website called Wattpad. The website describes itself as an online reading community and last week it reached 10 million users. Literary agents also use the site to spot new talent, such as 18-year-old Abigail Gibbs, who landed a book deal with HarperCollins after her novel The Dark Heroine got 16 million views.
Using their computer, tablet or smartphone, members of Wattpad can post their writing for readers around the globe to see. They can be as anonymous as they like — Sofia's pseudonym is "racingheart". Morale is boosted with encouraging comments or constructive criticism from loyal readers.
The site's self-styled "fairy godmother" is veteran novelist and Booker prize-winner Margaret Atwood, 72, who posts poetry there and called it a place where "a new generation of writers is testing its wings". The latest figures show users spend 2.2 billion minutes on the site each month. That puts it in the same league as Pinterest.
"What pad?" asked my friends when I mentioned the service. The Toronto-based site was set up in 2006 by Allen Lau and Ivan Yuen, who dreamed up the Wattpad portmanteau word by combining the idea of an electrical watt (bursts of bright ideas, get it?) with a notepad. They have recently secured $17.3 million of investment and are backed by Union Square Ventures, who have shares in Twitter. The website is tapping into the generation who had lost interest in reading in favour of video games. Last month it was announced that more than a fifth of children never read in their own time, according to research by the National Literacy Trust.
But Wattpad is similar to a video game by being participation-focused. Writers enjoy getting feedback and chatting with new friends. "We see publishing as one of the last realms that needs to catch up with the internet," says Amy Martin, marketing manager of Wattpad. "People still love to read. Wattpad makes reading modern and therefore acceptable.
"Writers are engaging with readers directly and the community is creating a new form of 'pop literary' celebrities, like on YouTube. Reading is no longer a passive activity. We're inventing new models of collaborative and interactive storytelling. Basically, we're applying 'web speed' to the publishing industry."
The result is a friendlier community than YouTube with a far more positive comments section and followers as far flung as rural Africa, where there is little access to books. As Wattpad started life as an app for Javapad phones, a type of phone that is popular in Africa and Vietnam, Martin says these users now email the Wattpad offices, "thanking us for bringing them stories".
Natasha Preston, 24
Administrator from Sussex
4,475,529 people have read her horror thriller, The Cellar.
"It caught my eye in the Apple store — I've always loved reading but never had the confidence to write myself. When I started using Wattpad I realised it didn't matter that I'd left school at 17 and never went to university. I started uploading things that came into my head and was shocked at how many people liked what I'd written. I like it that feedback can be anonymous. It gives me such a boost when someone likes my work. You don't have to be amazing, just give it a go."
Abigail Gibbs, 18
Student from Devon
16,993,998 people have read her novel The Dark Heroine (to be published by HarperCollins on October 25).
"A friend told me about Wattpad in 2009. I love that it allows people to comment on each other's work. It's like social networking. A lot of people have been encouraging and it's easier to take criticism online than face to face. I had a few agents approach me before my current one, which was great. I'm going to keep on using Wattpad, it's where my loyal readers are."
Sofia Kayes, 16
Student from London
8,556,763 people have read her teen fiction romance The Billion Dollar Girl.
"I keep getting ideas for new things to write but I can't write them all or I'd be writing 100 books right now. I always want to make my story more exciting for the reader but if there's no one to tell me where I'm going wrong, I'm not going to improve."

Promoting Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary at the parish level.
Our goal is to help strengthen the virtues of faith, hope and charity in the home through promoting devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
How is this done?
Note: In addition to English we also have Enthronement Packets in Spanish and Vietnamese.
Where has it been done?
As of the end of March, 2015 we will have completed 196 Enthronement Weekends and distributed over 186,000 Enthronement Packets.
What has been the response?
Each Enthronement is a special time of grace for the parish. Please review Pastor Quotes. Their words speak for themselves.
Why is it so effective?
The answer quite simply is "Prayer". Each parish is lifted up in prayer during their Enthronement Week and especially during the time of their weekend Masses. Counted among our many prayer warriors are Orders of Sisters who are committed to praying before the Blessed Sacrament.
It costs us $1 a packet in material costs to put them together, plus possible shipping costs to get the material to you. Donation baskets are made available on the way out of Mass and the donations usually cover the costs.
How do I schedule an Enthronement Weekend for my parish or get them started in my area?
The steps have been documented so that it can easily be started in your area. Contact us for more information!
To see what the Enthronement Packet looks like, click here and you will be brought to the Enthronement Packet page of our sister web site of enthronement.org. Also on enthronement.org you will find information on home, school, Knights of Columbus and other organization enthronement events and be able to download the Enthronement Packet if desired.

Paint Color All Wrong!
Help! We bought flat interior latex to paint our new home's walls with that was supposed to be the sort of brownish taupe sand color that is so popular today, but when I got the first coat on, it's Pink! What do I need to add to darken this to something closer to what I'm looking for? We bought 15 gallons of it in 5 gallon buckets and had it mixed, so we can't return it. I really need a solution and fast! Can anyone suggest tinctures to change it? :(
Did they mix it wrong or did you choose the wrong color?
Bring a paint chip (of the color you want) to the paint store where you bought it and ask if they can retint the paint to the new darker color. Most paint stores will help you out. It wont be perfect but they should be able to get you close.
Where did you buy the paint?
We had it mixed as the color chip called for, but it really doesn't look like the chip at all! We got the paint and had it mixed at the same home improvement warehouse (can I say store names here?). I know we will have to pay to have it retinted - that's no problem. I'm just disgusted.
Have them take a drop of paint and put it on the paint chip. Then use a hair dryer (they will have one at the counter) and dry it. Make sure the paint matches BEFORE you leave the store. If they messed up tinting the paint I would push for them to retint for free.
15 Gallons is a lot of paint! Are you painting you whole house that color?
BTW, you can mention store names but it doesn't really matter. I was just wondering if it was a quality shop like Sherwin Willimas or Benjamin Moore. I know they would take care of you.
Let me know if you have any more questions and I'll try and help.
Ben Moore and SW will retint for free if the color desired is possible.
I used to work at a hard ware store (High school job) and I never tinted paint. I was too inexperienced. Later when I went back to buy my own pait they were letting their high school kid tint the paint and he always messed up. I felt bad getting him into trouble so many times that I ended up eating the cost of the last gallon and going to home depot.
I buy paint from Lowes because it was rated high on consumer reports and its cheaper than those pro stores
But what brand? Lowes sells multiple brands, no?
Actually the highest rated Interior paint by Consumer Reports is at the Home Depot: Behr.
I agree, you should have approved the dried color before you left the store.
"Actually the highest rated Interior paint by Consumer Reports is at the Home Depot: Behr"
Here is why Consumer Reports don't mean much to the pros
Thoughts on CU ratings
It is impossible to take some small paint chip from a store and think that it will work in your house. What you see is just a reflection of what is there, similar to a mirror.
Unless you are into really dramatic changes such as Endevour Blue most people choose the wrong shade because of the little paint sample at the store. They don't think about how the light hits the primary wall and how the color changes as the reflection hits the secondary wall.
Mimi, Red/pink is one of the most challenging colours to overcome, the addition of black pigment will turn it to brown which is where I believe you want to be.
I always suggest to customers that want to make a color change to get a quart of the new color and test drive it for awhile. Brush some on the wall by the floor, ceiling, trim, window, different walls, etc. to see it in different light, at different times of day. Live with it for awhile, get the feel for it.
One doesn't need to be a painter to mix colors. matter of fact, we have a girl here who can match some really tough colors and her consistency is remarkable.
Very few painters carry their cal-tints around these days ;)

a. What is the market rate of substitution between goods X and Y?
b. Illustrate the consumer's opportunity set in a carefully labeled diagram.
c. Show how the consumer's opportunity set changes if income increases by $400. How does the $400 increase in income alter the market rate of substitution between goods X and Y?
5. Provide an intuitive explanation for why a "buy one, get one free" deal is not the same as a "half-price" sale.
7. A consumer must spend all of her income on two goods (X and Y). In each of the following scenarios, indicate whether the equilibrium consumption of goods X and Y will increase or decrease. Assume good X is an inferior good and good Y is a normal good.
a. Income doubles.
b. Income quadruples and all prices double.
c. Income and all prices quadruple.
d. Income is halved and all prices double.
11. It is common for supermarkets to carry both generic (store-label) and brand-name (producer-label) varieties of sugar and other products. Many consumers view these products as perfect substitutes, meaning that consumers are always willing to substitute a constant proportion of the store brand for the producer brand. Consider a consumer who is willing to substitute three pounds of a generic store-brand sugar for two pounds of a brand-name sugar. Do these preferences exhibit a diminishing marginal rate of substitution between store-brand and producer-brand sugar? Assume that this consumer has $10 of income to spend on sugar, and the price of store-brand sugar is $1 per pound and the price of producer-brand sugar is $2 per pound. How much of each type of sugar will be purchased? How would your answer change if the price of store-brand sugar was $2 per pound and the price of producer-brand sugar was $1 per pound?
13. A recent newspaper circular advertised the following special on tires: "Buy three, get the fourth tire for free-limit one free tire per customer." If a consumer has $500 to spend on tires and other goods and each tire usually sells for $50 how does this deal impact the consumer's opportunity set?
3. A consumer must divide $250 between the consumption of product X and product Y. The relevant market prices are Px = $5 and Py = $10.
a. Write the equation for the consumer's budget line.
b. Illustrate the consumer's opportunity set in a carefully labeled diagram.
c. Show how the consumer's opportunity set changes when the price of good X increases to $10. How does this change alter the market rate of substitution between goods X and Y?

Veggie Tales: An Easter Carol Parent Review
Movie Review
Charles Dickens meets Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber in Veggie Tales' latest endeavor, An Easter Carol. Donning the personas introduced in The Star of Christmas, Cavis (Phil Vischer) and Millward (Mike Nawrocki) bite off more than they can chew when they request to take off Easter Sunday.
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
Instead of the expected day of rest, their boss Ebenezer Nezzer unveils his plans to build Easter Land--a place to celebrate Easter all year. Concentrating solely on the trappings of the holiday, the chocolate factory owner has forgotten the religious significance of the occasion enough that he has decided to tear down the local church and build his theme park on the land.
Shocked and appalled, the pair of salad fixings determines to sabotage his intentions. But a higher power is already at work. Hope, in the form of a music box angel (voiced by Rebecca St. James), appears to the pea-brained business mogul to help him understand why "Easter means no death."
Amidst mechanized chickens, plastic eggs, the ridiculous antics of Bob and Larry, and an explosive climax, Veggie Tales: An Easter Carol explains the Christian belief of everlasting life in a simplistic manner. Using Grammy Award winning St. James' musical talents and a series of stained glass windows to depict the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, the zany characters present this message with a measure of reverence.Starring Phil Vischer, Mike Nawrocki. Updated April 17, 2009
Veggie Tales: An Easter Carol Parents Guide
The music box angel claims that without the hope of Easter, people would be unwilling to help one another. How does a belief in Christ affect a persons desire to be charitable?
How does the Christian belief in life everlasting differ from Ebenezer Nezzers efforts to immortalize his deceased Grandmother by building Easter Land?
