Most of the investment style that was employed by JMK has been diluted down to the concept of value investing which consists of entering into transactions which investors expect to "buy-and-hold" stocks for the "long term" using "fundamental" analysis derived from the balance sheet of large and small publicly traded companies. Since we all know the mantra and conventional wisdom, we at New Low Observer, will try to take claim for playing the devil's advocate when interpreting what JMK meant when he said, "an investor...should be aiming primarily at long-period results." This exercise may stretch the realm of credulity. However, we believe learning begins where conventional wisdom ends.
As trained economists, we have read much of JMK's theories on money, credit and interest rates. We are also familiar with JMK's involvement in public policy both in the United States and in Britain. In the last 3 years we've had graphic examples of Keynesian economics in attempts to resolve credit crisis after credit crisis. We're aware of the "feuding" philosophies of Keynesians and the Austrian School of economics. However, never in our economic courses in college did we cover the topic of JMK as an investor. Why is this even important to us as investors? One good reason is that Keynes was resolutely known as one of the greatest investors of his time. Considering that if you halved the investment performance of Keynes during the period from 1927-1946 and compared it to the British stock market performance, he still would have beat the market by 600%.
The following is the first of (hopefully) many excerpts from books and journals on the topic of Keynes as an investor.
More bad news, this time from wall street in late March, brought another slump in health for Maynard, who still had 'a huge American position'. Lydia took it philosophically: 'it is quite natural after so much work, change of weather, the world situation, Wall Street and life in general'.
In the last fortnight in March he sold $40,000 to $50,000 worth of securities, steadily reducing his debt to Buckmaster and Moore, while preserving most of his liquid resources. In the year of 'terrific decline' which had started in the spring of 1937 he lost nearly two-thirds of his money. His net assets fell from $506,222 at the end of 1936 to $181,244 by the end of 1938, with his gross income cut by two-thirds, from $18,801 in 1937-8 to $6,192 in 1938-9.
The institutions who's investment policy he largely dictated- his College, the Provincial Insurance Company, the National Mutual- had also suffered heavy losses, and Keynes was driven to justifying his philosophy of 'hanging on for a rise' in lengthy letters and memoranda. To Francis Curzon, who chaired the weekly meetings of the board of the National Mutual in his absence, he wrote on 18 March: 'I feel no shame at being found still owning a share when the bottom of the market comes…I would go much further than that. I should say that it is from time to time the duty of a serious investor to accept the depreciation of his holdings with equanimity and without reproaching himself. Any other policy is anti-social, destructive of confidence, and incompatible with the working of the economic system. An investor,..should be aiming primarily at long-period results, and should be solely judged by these.' Curzon and the board were not convinced, and Keynes resigned his chairmanship in October 1938, explaining to Falk, 'One naturally chooses [to give up] that part of one's activities which one finds least satisfaction.'
Skidelsky, Robert, John Maynard Keynes:Fighting for Freedom 1937-1946, Viking Press, 2000, 15
The conventional wisdom dictates that portfolios with smaller concentrations are likelier to have abnormal fluctuations in both good and bad markets. In Keynes' personal account, the decline of 66% percent possibly indicated that he held relatively narrow holdings (undiversified.) The same could be said for the funds that he managed for the university. Another possible explanation for the wide disparity in the losses in the period mentioned could lie in the selection of companies. A portfolio full of speculative, less than "investment grade" companies are prone to larger declines as the market trends lower. Finally, another explanation probably lies in the attribute that was not unusual for Keynes' investment style and that was with the use of large amounts of leverage. This explains why Keynes had to reduce his debt with Buckmaster and Moore.
I suspect that when Keynes said, "An investor,..should be aiming primarily at long-period results," what he meant was that the soundness of an investment approach should be judged based on the results over a long period of time and not based on short term losses or gains. By this I mean that Keynes might not have intended for investments to be held for extended periods of time, basically forever as most people seem to think today. As proof of this possibility, we reference the following material:
By the 1930s, though, Keynes had learned some existential lessons, for example, that it takes 'abnormal foresight' and 'super human skill' to buy and sell at the correct time. It is better to choose a small group of carefully selected securities (which Keynes refers to as 'pets') with the idea of holding them 'through thick and thin', perhaps for several years till they have fulfilled their promise or proven to be a mistake. On other occasions he recognized 'time and opportunity' did not allow one to have adequate knowledge of more that[n] a very limited number of investments, that 'continuous and anxious work on the telephone' (not half an hour in bed) is 'none too good for health', and that one is liable to lose one's 'sense of proportion' when he is absorbed in market quotations.
Mini, Piero V., John Maynard Keynes, St. Martin's Press, 1994, 89
Let me re-emphasize that JMK was specific in that stocks should be held for "...several years till they have fulfilled their promise or proven to be a mistake." In this context we can see that it is possible that Keynes never intended to hold a stock for an indeterminable period of time down the road. It is quite possible that Keynes literally meant that after 3 or 4 years, if the stock performed as expected, the stock should be sold and new ventures should be pursued.
This loose interpretation of JMK's thinking would fly in the face of most investors who say that they are invested for the long term only to find that the stocks they hold are "duds." To compound the bad decision of buy-and-hold for the long term, investors cannot justify selling a stock that they previously felt that they would hold forever. Finally, when the investor does end up selling the stock, far earlier than expected, they are forced to deal with the conflict of their investment strategy and its implementation. As an alternative, most investors tend to say to themselves, "I'm just going to invest in quality companies and forget about it until my retirement." This approach seems to be the preferred method for coping with a failed strategy.
Again, it is my view that JMK intended that the investment strategy or philosophy that is employed should be judged on it's long term performance. This is opposed to the idea that stocks individually should be held for a long period of time. I believe that new, as well as experienced, investors should have as a primary goal the appropriate selection of an investment strategy. Because we have an extended history of investment stategies and philosophies, we as investors should be selecting and testing those that have performed best in both bull and bear markets. This may explain why Warren Buffett selected JMK's philosophy and applied it to the Graham and Dodd method for selecting individual stocks. In the case of Mr. Buffett, it was his early adoption of the Keynes method which sets his investment performance apart from the rest.

Hundreds of volunteers were honored recently for the time and services they provided in the past year at the city's 15 Human Services Department senior centers.
This year, 711 volunteers logged 121,949 hours, equaling $2,699,945 worth of services. Through the city's senior programs, volunteers provide support services for older adults such as greeting participants, serving meals, assisting office staff, facilitating activities and planning trips.
The city also celebrated the senior centers involvement in the FitPHX program. More than 600 seniors completed more than 2,100 hours of health and fitness-based activities implemented to increase nutrition and health awareness, physical activity and mental fitness.
The city's senior centers provide people 60 years and older and adults with disabilities with services, including nutrition programs; congregate meals; home-delivered meals; educational opportunities; recreation and social activities; information, referral and advocacy; and transportation. A calendar of events is available at each center.
The luncheon was hosted by the city's Human Services Department funded through private donations. For more information about the city's senior programs, call (602) 262-7379 or visit phoenix.gov/seniorservices.

Between purely active and passive ETFs there is a gray area of funds tracking quantitative indices that codify techniques used by active managers in a rules-based benchmark.
One example is Van Eck Global recently partnering with Morningstar to launch the Market Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (NYSEArca: MOAT). [New Van Eck ETF Leverages Morningstar Research]
The fund is designed to track a basket of companies with strong competitive advantages in the marketplace.
"MOAT is an ETF that provides investors with exposure to 20 equally weighted, mostly large-cap domestic firms that have wide economic moats," according to Morningstar analyst Robert Goldsborough. "The index uses Morningstar's proprietary methodology to identify companies with long-term, distinct, and sustainable competitive advantages, or 'economic moats,' which allows the company to earn sustainable excess economic profits."
The companies hold competitive advantages like high switching costs, cost advantage, intangible assets, and/or network effects.
"The index contains the 20 most discounted companies that Morningstar's equity analysts deem to have wide moats, which means that it generally contains firms that have been beaten down," Goldsborough added.
According to Morningstar data, the underlying Morningstar Wide Moat Focus Index, which is a rules-based equal-weighted index that tracks 20 of the most attractively priced companies with sustainable advantages, has historically outperformed the S&P 500, generating 15.3% from September 2002 through March 31, 2012, compared to 8.1% in the S&P 500.
Advisors or investors interested in a more in-depth analysis of the fund may want to listen in on the webcast "Why Moats Matter: Companies with Competitive Advantages."

Hypnobirthing versus Calmbirth
Before my baby was born I attended a Hypnobirthing class and later before my second I attended Calmbirth. Personally I saw little difference between the two. But lately I have heard a lot of woman claiming one is better than the other.
What are your experiences of each? Have you tried both? Was either more useful than the other?

Citigroup has upgraded
The miner's March quarter ore shipment of 1.22 million tonnes was largely in line with Citigroup's estimates, although realised prices of $US114 a tonne were lower than its expectation of around $US130 a tonne due to lower grades.
But Citigroup believes that 2012 is likely to be as bad as it gets for Mount Gibson, as infrastructure construction constraints and the impact of bad weather wash through.
The broker has downgraded its earnings per share forecasts by 33 per cent to 17.5¢ for the year to June 2012 and by 15.8 per cent to 29.0¢ for 2013, due to infrastructure bottlenecks; but it has lifted its 2014 forecast by 11.8 per cent to 34.6¢ due to higher forecast iron ore prices.
However, Citigroup said that the lack of a chief executive and restoring the independence of the board will be critical to attracting renewed investor support and a re-rating of the share price.

Forgotten for decades, a trove of post-war photographs from 1945 has recently been unearthed. The snapshots illustrate the devastation of the German capital and capture the desperation of the city in the weeks after the end of World War II. They also show glimpses of Berlin's resilience.
The soldier with the Iron Cross on his chest lies in the middle of the street. His steel helmet has rolled away. The Red Army soldiers are turning him onto his back and cleaning their weapons. They take no notice of the photographer kneeling to take the picture. He's already taken dozens of shots today -- this time he's just chosen a corpse for the foreground.

While this blog tries to stay focused on LSAT-related material, I couldn't help but pass along this post from the ABA Journal. It crunches some numbers on the rate of return for a legal education in terms of salary. While the post itself is interesting, take a minute to read the comments.
The legal field is just beginning to come to terms with the problems of the job market. Short take: a law degree is no guarantee of riches.

Copenhagen (AFP) Jan 14, 2011
A summit gathering some of Iraq's top religious leaders ended Friday with an agreement on a joint decree condemning violence against Christians and other religious minorities, organisers said.
"This fatwa ... condemns all atrocities against the Christians ... and also said this is totally against the Koran," Andrew White, head of the Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East (FRRME) and vicar of St. George's Church in Baghdad, told AFP.
Participants at the three-day closed-door meeting listed 13 recommendations calling among other things for "the criminalisation of sectarian and religious incitement and the spreading of a culture of hatred", according to the declaration obtained by AFP.
The eight religious dignitaries called on the government in Baghdad to "put the issue on the agenda of the next Arab Summit" to be held in the Iraqi capital in March.
The emergency summit at a guarded Copenhagen hotel, organised by FRRME and the Danish foreign ministry, comes on the heels of a string of attacks on Christians in Iraq, as well as in neighbouring countries.
In the worst such attack, militants stormed a church in central Baghdad on October 31, leaving 44 worshippers, two priests and seven security force personnel dead. Al-Qaeda's local affiliate, the Islamic State of Iraq, claimed responsibility for the assault.
Danish Foreign Minister Lene Espersen, who took the initiative for the meeting, hailed "the religious leaders' will to reach reconciliation", calling on the Sunni, Shiite and Christian representatives to "translate their commitments into actions".
"These leaders have taken a great moral responsibility and have shown that religious groups are united and working together to fight religious violence," she said in a statement.

Hans Christian Andersen's First Fairy Tale Found2012-12-14 4 Share Tweet
Here's a treat for fairy tale lovers out there, a copy of what is believed to be Hans Christian Andersen's first fairy tale was recently found in a private archive in Denmark.
The artifact found was a 190-year-old, six-page copy of the original manuscript written in ink, and is believed to be written when he was a schoolboy.
Entitled The Tallow Candle, the story depicts the story of a candle that is left dirty and forgotten, but eventually finds its inner beauty again with the help of a tinder box.
The original piece was dedicated to Madam Bunkeflod, a vicar's widow that Andersen visited regularly and borrowed books from. The copy of the manuscript was found last October in the private archive of the Plum family, and has been in the hands of experts for the past two months so it could be studied and validated of its authenticity.
"It's like a high to be able to work with his first attempt at a fairy tale," says Andersen expert, Ejnar Stig Askgaard of the Odense City Museum, to the Danish newspaper, Politiken. "It was a great experience to read it for the first time."
Hans Christian Andersen lived from 1805 to 1875 in Denmark. He had penned a multitude of poems and stories that have been translated into more than a hundred languages. He is most known for his fairy tales such as The Little Mermaid, Thumbelina, The Ugly Duckling, The Snow Queen, and The Steadfast Tin Soldier.

Vermont Bowl and Board is a subsidiary of John McLeod Ltd., a privately owned company located in Wilmington Vermont. With very few exceptions all the wooden bowls (aka "wooden salad bowls"), wooden cutting boards, and related serving pieces or kitchen tools which you will find on offer in our website are manufactured right here in our own facility. Our craftspeople are both men and women, young and old, with the longest serving having been with the company for over 30 years. We have been producing fine wood products since 1967 when John McLeod first started in a borrowed workshop just months after emigrating from Scotland.
John worked for a number of years as an individual craftsman. The business went through all the traditional stages of borrowed workshops, house basements, tiny converted gas stations and property purchases finally followed by five factory extensions and the development of two attached retail stores.
No other company produces a range of wooden bowls in production quantities to equal that of The Vermont Bowl Company. Because of our earlier years of individual craftsmanship a tradition of standards was imbued into the company which has translated into a reputation for quality and integrity in company policy and in product which is the envy of the industry.
Almost without exception whenever you see the "Made in Vermont" logo on a product page it will mean that that product was created and crafted in our workshop right here in Wilmington. We are very proud of our position and history in Vermont and it is particularly gratifying to know that we are carrying on a centuries old tradition of fine woodworking here in the mountains and forests of Vermont.
who we are
John McLeod is one of that small group of people who have had the good fortune to have made a dream for life come true. John started wood turning when he was 10 years of age after his father gave him a birthday present of a small treadle wood turning lathe.
Retirement? No way! With Vice President Tommy and a dedicated group of seasoned employees to back him up and to take the daily pressures off, the business is just too interesting and too exciting to leave. There are new wooden cutting boards to design, there are new wooden bowls to be introduced, there are new customers, there's new technology, there's new challenges and problems to be solved. It's all exciting.

Youngsters take part in last week's Jr. 'Toppers Fundamentals Camp at Griffith Gymnasium.
Richard Thompson III had the best prediction of the week at the Atomic City Roadrunners' Pace Race Tuesday night.
Thompson, on the 1-mile course, finished the Pace Race with an adjusted error of 12 seconds, finishing three seconds ahead of John Rees, the best predictor on the 3-mile course.
This week's race was run on Powerline Road, just south of White Rock. In all, 34 participants took part.
Except for Thompson, all the top predictions came from the long course runners. Isolina Viloria was off by 18 seconds and Alexander Romero was off by 19 seconds.
Romero was the fastest finisher on the 3-mile course with his time of 21 minutes, 33 seconds. Nikol Strother was the fastest finisher on the 1-mile course (8:09).
Competitors kick toward the finish line of the running leg at the 2011 Los Alamos Triathlon. The Los Alamos Triatomics multi-sport club will host the first Splash 'n' Dash of the year June 27. The Splash 'n' Dash is for participants wanting to prepare for the Los Alamos Triathlon in mid August. Registration for the Splash 'n' Dash is limited to 75 participants. Visit triatomics.org for more information.
For those kids who need to get off the couch this summer, they can do so with Justin Black next week.
This summer, Black, a physical education teacher, will be hosting summer school PE This course isn't for those who need to improve their grade, but for those that might want to sharpen skills, learn something new or just spend more time in physical education.
There will be plenty to do and to learn during the PE course.
"Any student that has an interest in improving their skills in throwing, catching and kicking with different size balls, dodging tag, speed stacks, (Dance Dance Revolution), Xbox 360 with Kinect, tumbling, log rolls, and somersaults," Black said.
Sunday, the oldest bike race in the southwest will get a little older.
The Tour de Los Alamos is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year and it could be celebrating with a big turnout.
Tour organizers are anticipating somewhere close to 200 riders for Sunday's race, which includes eight separate competition categories. The race, which started in 1973, is well known throughout the region but owes much of its success to the Los Alamos biking community.
"It's very traditional and we're very lucky to be able to use the traditional route," race official Dave Zerkle said. "The backbone of this race has always been the locals. They make this thing click."
Here are the results from the local Hershey's Track and Field meet. Finishing marks were not given.

A local bowling team picked up first place in its division at the state open championship tournament last month.
The Lobos bowling squad rolled a total of 3,613 pins at the state tournament, which earned it the men's Division I title, but without much room to spare.
The team, comprised of locals Tim Ellis, Jeff Brown, Bryan Fearey, Travis Turner and Kerry Coffelt, slipped past the Throw Togethers, a team from Roswell. Throw Togethers tallied a combined 3,598 in the tournament.
One of the initial organizers of the YMCA's fundraising golf tournament was there in spirit Saturday.
Just a little less than a year after his death, the YMCA renamed one of its biggest fundraising events of the year for Ed Griggs. Griggs was a longtime volunteer and member of the local YMCA, but is remembered for lending a hand for anyone who needed it.
But among Griggs' many passions were golf and gardening. So when the YMCA dedicated a plaque in his honor Saturday at Los Alamos Golf Course, the most logical place was on the third tee box where he was out several times a week tending the flowers planted around it.
Cross country summer practice starts this week
The Los Alamos High School cross country program will start summer practices this week and the Los Alamos Middle School program will begin the following week.
Practice for LAHS' program starts Wednesday. The first practice will be at 6 p.m. at Sullivan Field.
Practices for LAMS' team will start 6 p.m. June 20, also at Sullivan Field.
Anyone interested in competing for either program during the fall 2012 season is encouraged to attend.

Inaccurate Information Warning about BanknotesBecause many fifty dollar notes printed prior to 2002 are still in circulation, the false information in the message has caused a number of Australians to incorrectly conclude that they have received a counterfeit note. The rumour gained even more momentum after radio host Neil Mitchell aired the bogus "counterfeit indicators" on his radio program. A December 3, 2010 article in Albury-Wodonga news outlet "The Border Mail" reports:
The Reserve Bank of Australia has become aware of claims that the authenticity of a banknote can be determined by whether it has a name printed under its portrait or by the order of the signatures. This information is false.
A banknote without the name of the person printed underneath the portrait is not necessarily counterfeit. Printed names were added to Australian banknotes from 2002. This was done to help the public identify the people that our banknotes feature. Genuine banknotes produced prior to the addition do not have printed names.
The order of the signatures on Australian banknotes was also changed in 2002. Since then, the Governor's signature has been printed above that of the Secretary to the Treasury. Genuine banknotes produced prior to the change have the Secretary's signature printed above that of the Governor.
These changes were design changes only and should not be used to determine the authenticity of a banknote. Members of the public are encouraged to consult the guide on Counterfeit Detection for an explanation of the characteristics of genuine Australian banknotes.
BORDER businesses were barking up the wrong tree after finding counterfeit $50 notes.Thus the information in the message is highly inaccurate and misleading and certainly should not be forwarded to others. Sending on such misinformation may cause unnecessary confusion and distress in the community and waste the time of police and bank staff who must field ongoing enquiries about banknotes mistakenly identified as counterfeit.
McDonalds in Lavington and Todds Tasty Treats reported suspect notes to police on Wednesday after hearing a segment on 3AW Mornings, which is broadcast through 2AY.
3AW Mornings host Neil Mitchell warned listeners after being alerted to an email that allegedly revealed counterfeit indicators.
Albury police inspected the notes and said they were authentic.

Yesterday I wrote an article about Sr. Louise Akers' talk at the Call to Action gathering held in Milwaukee over the weekend. Today a received an email from some folks in Australia who, upset by the Akers situation have started a site at which men can apologize ("An Apology to Women") to women "for the continued second class situation that women have to cope with in the Catholic church." I am told, truth be known, the idea originated with a man.
You might want to check it out - and some of you (men) might want to be part of the collective apology.

KOFU, YAMANASHI PREF. – Hopes are growing that select wine made in Yamanashi Prefecture will earn wider global recognition after a National Tax Agency decision Tuesday designated "Yamanashi" as a geographical indication for wine.
Wine brands that meet strict criteria can now be called Yamanashi wine, following the decision, which was based on World Trade Organization rules.
A geographical indication is used to identify the origin, quality, reputation or other characteristics of products unique to a particular place.
The designation is a first for a Japanese wine.
The Yamanashi Prefecture Wine Manufacturers' Association, based in Kofu, aims to capitalize on the designation to boost Yamanashi wine's name recognition here and abroad.
To be allowed to carry the name of Yamanashi, wine needs to use only limited kinds of grape from Yamanashi, including Koshu and Yamanashi Muscat Bailey A, and be brewed and bottled in the prefecture.
If approved, wine for exports can be labeled as made in Yamanashi, instead of made in Japan at present.
Other domestic products with geographical indications include Hakusan, sake produced in Ishikawa Prefecture, Kuma, a brand of "shochu" distilled spirit in Kumamoto Prefecture and Ryukyu, a kind of "awamori" alcoholic beverage indigenous to Okinawa.
In France, Champagne, as well as Bourgogne and Bordeaux wine are examples of geographical indications.
Ahead of the tax agency's designation, the Yamanashi wineries' body examined wine quality in accordance with the criteria and approved 55 brands as Yamanashi wine.

Evan Dietrich-Smith, center for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, defended quarterback Josh McCown to the press this week following a lackluster preseason opener last Friday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.[Michael Compton photo/Josh McCown]
"It's all knee-jerk reaction stuff," Dietrich-Smith said on ESPN. "Josh is a great leader. The guy's been around the league for a long time and he's been around the league for a long time for a reason, because the guy can play football. He knows what he's doing, he's a savvy guy, he knows where he's going with the ball. What happened out there was us as a front not giving him time to work. We had some positive plays that were negated by penalties on our part. That hurt us and we were never on schedule."
Dietrich-Smith believes the game against the Jaguars is not a true indication of what McCown can do on the field. McCown completed two of four passes for 20 yards in the preseason opener, was sacked twice, fumbled twice and threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown.
"To sit there and all of the sudden say that this guy can't do his job, I think is a little out of control and a little ludicrous," Dietrich-Smith said. "For me, I have complete and utter trust in the guy. I think we have great chemistry out there. He's one of those guys that you sit in the huddle and when he's talking to you, you can tell he's loose, he's relaxed. That's the kind of stuff you need from a leader."
Dietrich-Smith has also been impressed with McCown's work ethic in camp. The veteran quarterback is entering his 12th season in the NFL.
"The guy studies his butt off," Dietrich-Smith said. "He's usually the first guy in, last guy out. Just grinding film, talking to the (offensive coordinator), pulling ideas off me. I could go on and on about the guy. But I'm just letting you know that the guy is the right guy for the spot."

Some occasions call for sweatpants (Friday night Netflix marathon) and some call for a smoky eye (Valentine's Day). And while V-Day isn't really my thing, I figure it's a good excuse to help break me out of my beauty rut. I'm a makeup hoarder and love every type of beauty look but my daily go-to is pretty plain Jane, usually mascara and lip balm or maybe a bold lip. And while I've mastered the 3 must-have date night looks—bold lip, cat eye and smoky eye—over the last year or so I've gotten lazy with my makeup routine. So when a new palette came across my desk that I couldn't wait to dive into, I got inspired to break out a smoky eye just in time for Valentine's Day. Said palette is CoverGirl's Trunaked Nudes and it's my latest obsession. It's super pigmented, blends like a dream and the colour selection is on point. While some palettes remain untouched treasures in my closet from collections that have come and gone, I'll be using this little baby down to the last dust of pigment. Since for some reason people think doing a smoky eye is ridiculously complicated, here's a super simple sultry eye you can do in just 3 quick steps (I swear!).
What You Need:
- Art Deco Eyeshadow Base (or the eyeshadow primer of your choice)
- CoverGirl Trunaked Nudes Palette
- A dense eyeshadow brush
- A fluffy blending eyeshadow brush
- Mascara—lots of it
Step 1
After applying your shadow primer, use your dense eyeshadow brush to blend the dark brown shade all over your top lid, then buff into your bottom lash line. Layer the shadow to make it as dark or as natural as you want.
Step 2
With your fluffy brush, buff the middle matte light brown shade through the crease of your eye, blending the two colours together. You're aiming for soft, buffed out lines so apply, re-apply and blend as much as necessary.
Step 3
With your dense brush, apply one of the lighter shades (which ever one works best with your skintone/you like the best) onto the inner corner of your eye and lightly under your browbone to add a bit of highlight. I'm loving the satiny beige hue as it's nice and natural.
Add a few coats of mascara and if you want to bump it up a notch line your eyes with a black kohl pencil, but that's all you need! Easy right?

Frank Turner Addresses Radiohead Comments
Frank Turner addressed the comments he made about Radiohead in a new blog post.
Last week, Turner discussed why bands should play their hits at concerts. Radiohead infamously refuses to play Creep at most of their shows. Turner told Gigwise, "You are entertainers because you've charged people £40 to be here, and it's not going to kill you to take three minutes out of your setlist to play the one song that everyone wants to hear."
On his blog, Turner explains and clarifies his point.
First, he mentions a term many of his friends have for Radiohead fans. "Indie Beliebers."
Then, he addresses that his point was "lazily put." He also says that he is a fan of Radiohead's (and Creep is nowhere near his favorite song). Turner adds that bands can play whatever they want to play.
But, they're entertainers.
Turner writes:
"The point I was trying to make, however, is that bands are not just artists. When you're playing a live show and charging money for people to come, you're also an entertainer, whether you like it or not. You can handle that role any number of different ways – you can just play 'the hits', or you can play none of them; you can talk to the audience, or not; you can play for four hours (Springsteen) or roll around in glass and shit (GG Allin). It's your stage.
My frustration is with bands who see that description, 'entertainer', as some kind of slight. In some cases it's almost like the audience is an imposition on their sacred creative act. If that's how you feel, don't play shows and charge people to come to them, stick to the studio. Perhaps a better example than Radiohead and 'Creep' (if I'd taken the time to think before I speak, imagine that!) is Bob Dylan. When I saw him play it was just shit, and he was pretty openly trying to piss the audience off – shit setlist, played piano throughout, sang terribly and changed all the melody. Well, fine, but I won't be coming back again, not at £60 a ticket.
I guess what I'm saying is, there's a middle way between being slavishly populist in your set list choices, and only playing weird obscure B-sides. Dropping a song that everyone in the room wants to hear every now and again isn't 'selling out' or whatever, it's entertaining, and that's at least part of the job description."

Tundra Scores Highest in IIHS Rear Crash Tests
Page: [1]
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has released the results of its rear impact crash testing, and the new Toyota Tundra has come out on top amongst all pickups - scoring the only 'Good' rating from the IIHS.
The IIHS testing simulates a rear-end collision by ramming a stationary vehicle from behind with a steel sled, of equal weight to the test vehicle, at 20-mph.
Specially instrumented dummies in the cabin of the struck vehicle are measured to determine how well the automobile's seats managed the head and neck motion of the dummies relative to their torso and body movement. A significant differential between the two is the cause of whiplash injuries.
According to the IIHS, "The key to reducing whiplash injury risk is to keep the head and torso moving together. To accomplish this, the geometry of a head restraint has to be adequate — high enough to be near the back of the head. Then the seat structure and stiffness characteristics must be designed to work in concert with the head restraint to support an occupant's neck and head, accelerating them with the torso as the vehicle is pushed forward."
The Tundra also received an IIHS 'Good' rating earlier this year in frontal offset crash testing, though in federal government crash testing it only achieved four out of five stars for driver and passenger safety.
Scores for all the trucks tested by the IIHS are below:
The IIHS did not test the Ford Ranger or Mazda B-Series compact pickups because the geometry of their head restraints is marginal or poor. This means they can't be positioned to protect many taller people.

These are the dog days. And I'm not talking about the weather.
I'm talking about real dogs, and they really have their day in a book I have discovered titled "The Dog Lover's Companion to California" by Maria Goodavage (Avalon Travel, $24.95).
It's a huge book - more than a thousand pages. It's thicker than a lot of guides for traveling with your family or friends - which tells me a couple of things.
Maybe a lot of people would rather travel with their dog than with other people. And maybe California is a good place to do it.
Maybe both things are going on.
I know people who travel with their dogs whenever they can, and they love it. Dogs can be good traveling companions. They don't fuss and whine as much as kids do. They don't ask to stop at every fast-food restaurant they see. They don't ask for bathroom stops every five minutes. And when they do need to piddle, they don't hold up the line at the restrooms.
Whatever you want to listen to, on the car radio or stereo, is fine with them. And if you take a wrong turn and get lost, they don't start giving you looks. Lost is fine with them. In fact, if you drive in circles all day, they couldn't be happier.
The only bad thing about dogs in the car is they won't obey seat belt laws. Oh, and they slobber and drool more than other members of the family. Most other members of the family, anyway.
As it turns out, California is a great place to travel with your dog.
As a blurb for the book states, "California is a dog's paradise. Lucky dogs get to run on beaches and in the wilderness, dine at oodles of delightfully dog-friendly restaurants, and stay in hundreds of hotels."
Goodavage, the author, and her "top research assistant," Jake the Dog, have crisscrossed the state in search of the best places to "ruff" it. One of the best places, in their opinion, is the Inland Empire, with the kind of wide open spaces that dogs love.
San Bernardino County, Goodavage writes, is "the Texas of California. It's just plain big. This is where dogs can do just about everything. They can ride the rails through a ghost town, roam around off leash on millions of acres of land, herd goats in Chino, take a horse-and-buggy ride in Big Bear, ride a rented boat around Big Bear Lake, and stay in some of the most wonderful cabins and resorts this side of the Rockies."
You hear that? It turns out that dog lovers have an extra reason to love the Inland Empire, and their dogs have an extra reason to love their humans, for choosing to live in such a wonderful place.
In San Bernardino County, the book recommends off-leash hiking opportunities in the mile-high San Bernardino National Forest as well as in desert locations such as Rainbow Basin and Stoddard Valley, both near Barstow.
At Calico Ghost Town, dogs can ride the train.
Several marinas at Big Bear Lake will rent boats to humans and pooches, too.
Best park in San Bernardino County? Wildwood Dog Park in San Bernardino (Waterman Avenue and 40th Street) gets the nod.
At Prado Regional Park in Chino, there's a full-fledged dog training facility. Don't be surprised to see a dog or two herding sheep or goats.
In Riverside County, two parks earn special mention: Pat Merritt Dog Park in Riverside (Limonite Frontage Road and Emery Street) and Palm Springs Dog Park in downtown Palm Springs.
Places to visit in Riverside County include the dog-friendly Orange Empire Railway Museum trains in Perris, and the March Air Field's War Dog Memorial.
You can take your dog to the movies, too, at Riverside's Van Buren Drive-in Theatre.
Both San Bernardino and Riverside counties are loaded with inns that allow dogs, according to the book.
But let me add a personal note on the subject of pet-friendly motels. I once traveled with a cat, and I went to the trouble of finding such places. Let me warn you, though, that they often put you in "designated" rooms.
And when I say "designated," I mean "trashed."
Come to think about it, maybe I should put my experience to good use, and write a giant guide book on the subject of traveling with cats. Actually, it would be a fairly short book. The title would be, "Don't Even Think About It."

If he had the opportunity to meet Jackie Robinson, former big-league pitcher Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd says he would say: "Why'd you do this?"
Robinson broke the color barrier in the major leagues when he debuted for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. The move opened the door for African Americans to play in the majors.
GALLERY: Influential African-American MLB players
"I don't really think that Negro league baseball shoulda been broken up," Boyd says during an interview that will air tonight on ESPN's E:60, according to The Boston Globe.
Buster Olney, who interviews Boyd, then asks, "How come?"
Boyd responds:
"Because it was -- it was individuality … I'm not real thankful to Jackie at all because I'm me -- my style of baseball, the way I played it in the major leagues transpired from the Negro leagues. So that's why people found that I was a hot dog or I was flamboyant."
In the interview, according to The Globe, Boyd also discusses using cocaine as a player, which he said in February prevented him from winning 150 games in the majors. Boyd won 78.
He tells ESPN:
"I can remember -- goin' and lockin' myself up in the bathroom and smokin' some dope right there at the ballpark … And I had it under the bib of my cap, inside the crease inside of the cap. And when I was warmin' up in the ballgame -- third, fourth innin' -- it fell off my head …"
Daily Pitch is a baseball fan's destination for breaking news, emerging trends and enlightening banter.

The Effectiveness of Peer Evaluation Using Student Self-Generated Rubrics for Learning Assessment in Tertiary Chinese Writing Programme in Hong Kong
Enhancement of Chinese communication skills to meet the needs of Hong Kong society is a long term direction of the language teaching in university.

Research has shown that involving students in their own assessment is to help students to be able to assess themselves, to identify their strengths and weaknesses. They are able to become independent, lifelong learners.It is suggested that a successful assessment for learning is a process that is undertaken in collaboration with students. Peer assessment involving students in their own assessment processes is intended to help students be able to assess themselves, to identify their own strengths and weaknesses, so that they are able to become independent, lifelong learners. Moreover, the effectiveness of student self-generated writing criteria for enhancing the learning of Chinese writing is also examined. The point to observe is to see whether these arrangements could enable the students to improve their Chinese writing ability by self reflection, enhancing writing skills and promoting self-directed learning. The research focuses on the students' learning process. It is help to understand how these assessment methods could be applied in the teaching of Chinese writing in tertiary level. In order to have good understanding of the process of student's self generated writing rubrics and peer-evaluation, classroom observation is employed in the research by video recording in the class. A details observation and analysis of the process is done after the implementation.
