Revlon Luxurious Color Perle Eyeshadow Reviews
bought it, love itit can be used wet or dry, even though it does not say so, therefore it can be both shadow and liner. Nice opacity, but very wearable. — 4 years, 4 months agoLuciaonly | 9 reviews
FantasticThese eyeshadows are wonderful. They go on very smoothly, don't streak, stay well and don't crease. Easy to blend. Great for daytime as you can have colour without being too much as you would with colour and shimmer together. I wish they had even more shades as I would gladly pick up more of these. Fantastic product. — 4 years, 4 months agomissmagpie | 15 reviews
Wow!I recently bought this in Peach Sorbet because I was looking for a nice, neutral base color. Well, today I tried it, and I was BLOWN AWAY! The color goes on smooth and silky and doesn't crease. I will definitely be getting some of the other shades soon. — 4 years, 4 months agohellobob | 32 reviews

Gorgeous colors, silky feelI just got two of these in Riviera Blue and Vintage Lace. They go on so silky and smooth and are gorgeous! The colors are very rich and pigmented so what you see in the package is what you will see on your eyelid. I recommend these if you need a break from shimmer but still want something other than neutrals. These started out a little pricey for my taste but recently the price went down to $3.88 at Walmart, which isn't a bad price at all for this kind of quality. — 4 years, 4 months agoMarasy | 104 reviews

Department store shadow at drugstore priceThese are wonderful shadows. They are long wearing, blend really well, don't crease, and come in a myriad of colors. I would never bother to pay department store prices for shadow again, as long as they make this. — 4 years, 4 months agoKeyamarie | 62 reviews
Long lastingGoes on smooth and stays that way all night. — 4 years, 4 months agoTracylb | 5 reviews
My favorite eyeshadowI like this a lot - it really does stay on like it is supposed to. They could offer a few more colors but they have gorgeous basic colors - especially the khaki and cream shades. It does need careful blending as it is very matte an can seem a bit thick. It is a great value for the money too - I usually get it for less than three dollars, the maker is great to put out very good coupons. — 4 years, 4 months agoskullaria | 9 reviews

I have this app, by Mobidia, on my Galaxy S2 downloaded from Play Store. Is the reason I cannot get to correct app on the San Francisco because it only uses Market not Play Store?

About Us
Melbourne Seaplanes has been operating in Williamstown since 1997, after a lengthy process of gaining approvals from relevant authorities.
Unbeknown to many, seaplanes were operating in Williamstown as far back as the 1930s' and during World War II there were permanent moorings set up by the Harbour Trust for Catalina flying boats. After the war seaplanes use dropped off as bigger landbased aircraft took over from expensive to operate seaplanes.
Melbourne Seaplanes charter is to revive seaplane flying in Williamstown to allow Australians and overseas tourists the opportunity to view our great city skyline and surrounding bays and coastal beaches from the air.

Melbourne Seaplanes is operated by local husband and wife team, Rod and Leonie Gunther. Rod with over 30 years flying experience is chief Pilot taking care of flying and training while Leonie manages the terminal and bookings.
Rod says seaplane flying is a combination of boating and flying, two of his life long passions and the opportunity to share this with other people is fantastic.
Over the years Melbourne Seaplanes has built up and improved the facilities for our customers and introduced different services to cater for all kinds of experiences.
The aircraft used are designed in the factory to have float landing gear fitted. They feature a powerful 520 cubic inch (8.5 litre) motor producing 300 horsepower or 224 kw.

The Internal Revenue Service is looking for taxpayers who are missing more than 279,000 economic stimulus checks totaling about $163 million and more than 104,000 regular refund checks totaling about $103 million that were returned by the U.S. Postal Service due to mailing address errors.
"People across the country are missing tax refunds and stimulus checks. We want to get this money into the hands of taxpayers where it belongs," said IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman. "We are committed to making the process as easy as possible for taxpayers to update their addresses with the IRS and get their checks."
Stimulus Checks
Taxpayers who may be due a stimulus check are encouraged to update their addresses with the IRS by November 28, 2008. By law, economic stimulus checks must be sent out by December 31 of this year. The undeliverable economic stimulus checks average $583.
The IRS provides a Where's My Stimulus Payment? service on its Web site where taxpayers can check the status of a stimulus check and receive instructions on how to update addresses. Taxpayers can also call the IRS at 866-234-2942 to provide change of address information.
Regular Refunds
The regular refund checks that were returned to the IRS average $988. These checks are resent as soon as taxpayers update their address.
Taxpayers can use the IRS's "Where's my refund?" service online to check the status of refunds. The taxpayer must submit his or her social security number, filing status, and amount of refund shown on the 2007 income tax return. The tool will provide the status of their refund and in some cases provide instructions on how to resolve delivery problems.
Taxpayers checking on a refund over the phone will be given instructions on how to update a mailing address. Taxpayers can access a telephone version of "Where's My Refund?" by calling 1-800-829-1954.
Taxpayers not sure of which type of check they may be due should check on a potential economic stimulus check first because of the looming deadline.
For Most People
The IRS reports that the vast majority of checks mailed out by the IRS reach their rightful owner every year. Only a very small percent are returned by the U.S. Postal Service as undeliverable.
Through September 2008, the government distributed 116 million economic stimulus payments with only about 279,000 checks being undeliverable. Meanwhile, the IRS has distributed more than 105 million regular refunds this year with only about 104,000 being undeliverable. In both cases, well under one percent of refunds or stimulus checks were undeliverable.

SAN DIEGO - A small pickup slammed into the back of a commercial truck parked near a freeway offramp in Clairemont Mesa today and burst into flames, killing the woman behind the wheel, police said.
The driver was exiting south Interstate 805 at Clairemont Mesa Boulevard around 4:45 a.m. when her pickup veered across all lanes and slammed into the back of the larger vehicle, according to San Diego police.
What caused the motorist to lose control of her vehicle was not immediately clear. However, speed appeared to have been a factor, San Diego police Sgt. Max Verdusco said.
Evidence at the scene suggest the woman was going at least 60 miles per hour, Verdusco said.
The pickup burst into flames upon striking the larger vehicle, police said, and the woman was pronounced dead at the scene, having suffered what Verdusco described as severe blunt force injuries.
The off-ramp was closed until 9:55 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol.

Mayella Ewell Quotes
What quotes in To Kill A Mockingbird describe Mayella Ewell's personality and hardships she faces?
I need page numbers with the quotes and they can be spoken by anyone from the story. Thanks for the help. I am writing a paper comparing and contrasting Elie Wiesel in Night to Mayella Ewell in To Kill A Mockingbird.
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
In chapter 17, during Scout's narration to readers, she reveals an oddity about Mayella:
One corner of the yard, though, bewildered Maycomb. Against the fence, in a line, were six chipped-enamel slop jars holding brilliant red geraniums, cared for as tenderly as if they belonged to Miss Maudie Atkinson, had Miss Maudie deigned to permit a geranium on her premises. People said they were Mayella Ewell's.
This quote might fit nicely into your paper as around this quote Scout describes the Ewell family's home. It is filthy and dirty and gross. Any humane person would long to get out, or long to have pride in something, or long for cleanliness. These red geraniums demonstrate these longings in Mayella. She wanted to escape the filth that terrorized her life every day. This might be similar to Elie's circumstances because he too longed for freedom from the bondage of the camp, he might have illustrated it in a different way.
In chapter 18, Mayella's time on the stand reveals even more about her personality and hardships:
"What did your father see in the window, the crime of rape or the best defense to it? Why don't you tell the truth, child, didn't Bob Ewell beat you up?"
When Atticus turned away from Mayella he looked like his stomach hurt, but Mayella's face was a mixture of terror and fury.
Atticus was asking Mayella who really beat her. The "mixture of terror and fury" demonstrates that she was angry with Atticus for attacking and asking, but the terror shows that there may have been a more than likely chance that he was completely correct to make the assumption he did. It would be quite a hardship to endure defending a man who hurts you.
Moments later, Mayella reveals her strength even in the midst of weakness:
Suddenly Mayella became articulate. "I got somethin' to say," she said. Atticus raised his head. "Do you want to tell us what happened?"
But she did not hear the compassion in his invitation. "I got somethin' to say an' then I ain't gonna say no more. That nigger yonder took advantage of me an' if you fine fancy gentlemen don't wanta do nothin' about it then you're all yellow stinkin' cowards, stinkin' cowards, the lot of you. Your fancy airs don't come to nothin-your ma'amin' and Miss Mayellerin' don't come to nothin', Mr. Finch."
She yelled at the audience declaring how things are going to be (strength), but she can't see Atticus' manners for what they are worth. Therefore, she demonstrated her simple-minded inability to identify common courtesy. She used mean names to present herself as tough, but she came across as weak.

I finally bought a 520 stoker.... Jack Ryan down at Mahanoy City fixed me up excellent. Thanks for the leads on his shop.
Will be putting this thing in a 10 by 14 shed behind the house, and pumping the hot water into the basement. This old farmhouse has a basement built by midgits (no offense if your a midgit).... and no way to put that thing down there. Just not enough room. I know some folks insisted I try it but I am going to give this shed thing a shot and see how it works. I know I will loose out on the radiational heat through the floor but this may be my only option.
Also getting coal into the shed will be alot more simple than putting in basement.... because I can just carry it up the driveway from the coal yard with the loader and dump it in through the door... (shed is high)
shed gets insulated.... pipes get insulated....
Its an S-20 stoker ... with a Kurland boiler.... not an EFM boiler. However it is exactly the same size as the EFM boiler, and Jack adapted the base to allow the boiler to fit the burner. It sure is a heavy built boiler!
Anyone know about these boilers? Where were they made? Sure is a heavy setup.
Jack Ryan is a fine man to deal with also. I think this stoker is really going to work well.

About One Stop Australian Green Shop
One Stop Australian Green Shop was created to promote selected Australian green companies that sell high quality natural, organic, and eco-friendly products that are kind to our animals, our environment, and to people. We want to keep australians working who share our core values in sustainability and help make a difference in people's lives by having an influence in their shopping choices. Furthermore, it is also the place to find useful information to help you discover the benefits of living a healthy green lifestyle.
It is widely known that people are becoming more aware of the benefits of 'going green' or having an 'eco-friendly' lifestyle. This is seen when people
implement earth-friendly practices such as recycling, reducing printed material, using solar energy, buying organic foods that are grown without toxic pesticides/herbicides, using biodegradable products, reuse cloth bags rather than plastic bags, using non-toxic materials to manufacture products, and water conservation. These activities help reduce our 'carbon footprint' on the planet. Carbon footprint literally means the total amount of greenhouse gases (in the form of carbon dioxide) emitted from our activities that contributes to global warming.
It is a concern that there are companies that use the terms 'natural', 'organic', or 'eco-friendly' in their marketing campaigns to appeal to the ecologically conscious consumers, which may not be authentic. We call this 'greenwashing'. Avoid buying 'greenwashed' items by educating yourself on what is authentic from those that are not. For example, for any 'organic' claims, you need to look for independent certification logos such as Australian Certified Organic (ACO), International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM), or United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
One Stop Australian Green Shop presents you with a variety of non-toxic and eco-friendly products for your daily needs, including personal care products, green gifting, baby clothing, and reusable laundry balls. Start your cleaner, greener lifestyle now by checking out what these businesses have to offer.

Back in the fall, when it was announced that the latest incarnation of Thin Lizzy had plans to hit the studio, many fans wondered if they would record under the Thin Lizzy moniker.
The band made clear in October that they would not record using the name out of respect for late Lizzy bassist Phil Lynott, who passed away in 1986.
Now, it's been made official that the band will hit the studio next month with producer Kevin Shirley (Aerosmith, Rush, Iron Maiden) to record their debut album as Black Star Riders.
"We are all very excited about the music that we have created for Black Star Riders,"says vocalist Ricky Warwick. "The synergy between the five of us has been phenomenal and I can't wait for the world to hear these songs."
The lineup is rounded out by bassist Marco Mendoza, drummer Jimmy DeGrasso and guitarists Scott Gorham and Damon Johnson.
The debut album from Black Star Riders is expected in 2013 via Nuclear Blast Records.

WACO - The No. 2 Baylor Equestrian team (5-1) pulled off the 12-11 upset of No. 2 Texas A&M (7-1) Friday afternoon at the Willis Family Equestrian Center. It marked the first win over the Aggies since defeating them for the Big 12 Championship on March 27, 2010.
"This win means a lot because Texas A&M is such a great team," head coach Ellen White said. "It was a nail biter until the end, but what a great day to beat an undefeated A&M team."
The competition began with a 3-3 tie in Fences. Lisa Goldman (85) earned MVP honors with Kara Fergusson (79) and Taylor Brown (77) picking up points.
Baylor took a two point lead after a 4-2 win in Flat. Lisa Goldman (85), Taylor Brown (80), Kara Fergusson (64) and Melanie Appel (61) all earned points for the Bears.
Texas A&M pulled within one with a 3-2 win in Horsemanship. Meghan Murphy (74.5) and Parris Rice (74) garnered points for BU.
Needing nothing more than a tie, Baylor pulled it off in Reining, earning a 3-3 tie. Amber Mooney (73) recorded MVP honors and Ellie Powell (70) and Olivia Rogers (67) rounded out the scoring for the win.
Baylor is finished with fall competitions until Feb. 3 at home against New Mexico State.

AAUW book sale makes a home at SOC
Ann L. Fouty Features Editor
write the author
September 26, 2013
In the 369 boxes there is a great read, a good movie and a memorable song.
Every one of those books, DVDs, CDs and albums, donated by community members, are all on sale during the 50th American Association of University Women annual used book sale Thursday through Saturday, Oct. 10 through 12. Thursday and Friday hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday hours are 9 a.m. to noon during which customers can purchase a bag of books for $8.
This is the first year the three-day sale is to be held at Services for Older Citizens, 158 Ridge, Grosse Pointe Farms.
"We wanted to form a partnership with a community organization," said Sandy Stanley, the sale's co-chairwoman.
AAUW members took note of three positives in approaching SOC to use its facility: spaciousness, location and regular customers.
SOC members are readers, she said.
Heidi Uhlig SOC's director of volunteer services, agreed saying the seniors are anxious to look over the collection of books because they read all genres.
Another plus for the AAUW volunteers was being inside. In the past, AAUW members have sorted and marked the hundreds of books under the trees in a member's driveway and stored boxes in a large garage.
Stanley said members are pleased with the venue. "We can do everything in one place. It was a nice arrangement for SOC and be in a community location. This is a good sharing of resources."
Uhlig agreed it is a good use of the newly-renovated basement space.
Books are collected for six weeks in the summer.
They are boxed and moved to the SOC basement. AAUW members go through the books, categorizing them and pricing each. The books are divided into 29 categories, including signed books, cookbooks, novels, best sellers, mysteries and children's books. The sale includes boxes and boxes of hard and soft covered books, CDs, DVDs and albums.
This year, the AAUW will realize a savings from past years and increase profits. Instead of paying movers to transport the boxes from the garage to the sale site, the AAUW uses the Lake Shore High School football team to the boxes from the basement to the third floor.
Sale proceeds benefit the AAUW's scholarship program. Scholarships have been awarded to Macomb Community College students.
"We usually make $9,000 to $12,000 net profit," Stanley said.
What books don't sell, the SOC staff will donate to the Veterans Administration hospital, she said.

PolitiFact Florida: Aronberg questions Gelber's ties to BP
If Florida winds up suing BP over the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, a newly elected Attorney General Dan Gelber may have to sit the case out, according to his rival for the Democratic nomination.
Dave Aronberg says that Gelber could be disqualified from representing the state in a case against BP because the private law firm he worked for until recently, Akerman Senterfitt, signed BP as a client in oil spill matters.
"I'm not angry at my opponent," Aronberg wrote to supporters recently. "He and I served in the legislature together. The fact remains, however, that his employment by BP's law firm could disqualify him from representing Florida against BP as Attorney General."
PolitiFact Florida decided to take a look at Aronberg's claim. Is it true?

Well Being
Fat Talk Is Less Popular Amongst Aging Women…Because They Move On To 'Old Talk', Says Study
And the award for Depressing Research goes to…a study that says as women age, fat talk yields to 'old talk'. Ugh. It's not really surprising that our attitude towards growing old is damaging to women's self-esteem, but the fact that most women just never grow out of talking trash about their bodies and looks is a disturbing revelation. So much for 40 being the new 30 (or whatever the latest adage is that's supposed to make us feel better about aging).
Led by Carolyn Becker, Ph.D. and coauthor Phillippa Diedrichs, Ph.D., the study surveyed one thousand women between the ages of 18 and 87. 'Fat talk' and 'old talk' (defined as "speech that reinforces the thin-ideal standard of female beauty" by Psych Central) weren't exclusive to specific age groups, but surveys showed that fat talk diminished with age, and old talk increased with age.
And if the idea of constantly making self-deprecating comments, or hearing them from friends and family doesn't upset you enough, here's the rub: Both fat talk and old talk are related to poor body image, which is known to be an indicator of physical and mental health problems.
The authors have some not-so-surprising suggestions, including that the media should reign in the amount of fat talk and old talk directed at women:
"This study suggests 'old talk' may have similar negative effects on women. It also indicates that we should begin to explore the effects of media driven 'old talk' and 'fat talk,'" said Diedrichs.
"Overall, our results suggest that researchers need to broaden their understanding of body image and eating disorders to include 'old talk', particularly when studying midlife and older women," Becker said.
But as much as we hate misogynist comedians like Seth MacFarlane and misogynist publications like The Daily Mail, the most realistic place to start is probably just refusing to parrot their nasty discussion of women's looks. That just so happens to be the basis of anti fat talk campaigns; now we just need to start thinking through the damage we cause by cutting down ourselves and other women for things besides just weight.

CLEVELAND - The White County Fire Department had a active day Thursday fighting several fires.
"Along with two reported brush fires, and a heavy equipment fire, the volunteers responded with a report of two structure fires," White County Public Safety Director David Murphy said.
He said the first structure fire was reported at approximately 4:00 p.m. at 378 Jenny's Cove Road. Upon arrival, firefighters found an outbuilding and about a half acre of woods on fire.
Firefighters from stations 6 and 5 with automatic aide from the city of Cleveland responded to the blaze. No injuries were reported. The cause has not been determined.
The second structure fire was reported at 10:21 p.m. Thursday night in the 1100 block of River Bridge Trail. The first arriving unit reported a cabin fully involved in fire. Firefighters from stations 3 and 7 and mutual aid from the Helen Fire Department, Habersham Fire Department and fire brigade from Lee Arrendale Institute responded.
The American Red Cross responded. Murphy said a state fire investigator was requested to look for the cause. According to Murphy, fire units remained on scene to extinguish hot spots until after 5:00 a.m. Friday.

Gov. Terry Branstad declares disaster proclamations for 15 counties
Wed, 08 May 2013 18:09:36 GMT —
Low-income households in the 15 counties can apply for grants to help cover the cost of home repairs or other expenses.
Gov. Terry Branstad issued a disaster proclamation on Tuesday for 15 Iowa counties due to storms and flooding, one being Wapello County.
On Tuesday of next week, a team from FEMA and from Homeland Security will come out and review the countyâ??s damage assessment.
There was severe damage in Ottumwa on 90th St. where the culvert washed out. That alone will cost several hundred thousand dollars to repair.
â??And if it meets a certain plateau as far as monetary damages that will be referred to the president and then the president will declare it a disaster. And if he declares it a disaster then a team from FEMA will come in and review and it opens up all kinds of avenues for funding for individuals and for government that have sustained damage as a result of the rains on I think it was April 17,â?? said Jerry Parker, Wapello County Supervisor.
Counties covered by the proclamation are Appanoose, Clinton, Davis, Decatur, Des Moines, Jefferson, Keokuk, Lucas, Marion, Monroe, Ringgold, Van Buren, Wapello, Warren and Wayne.
Low-income households in the 15 counties can apply for grants to help cover the cost of home repairs or other expenses.

He did what others told me was impossible. Thank you for giving me my life back!
Expert in Liposuction - Beverly Hills, CA
He did what others told me was impossible. Thank...
I had liposuction done years ago, and that doctor had ruined my body. Long story short, he no longer has his practice, but I was stuck with his mistake. I tried getting it fixed but most doctors told me that it will never be the way it was. It's not something I could ever get used to. Then I saw Dr. Amron on the Today Show and decided to look him up. He is not only an expert in his field but he has a proven track record of fixing botched liposuctions. I decided to give it one last try and he has surpassed all of my expectations. He was very knowledgeable and honest. He explained in detail what he can do and what results to expect. He didn't give up on me but he was also realistic. After I had completely healed I am finally happy with my body. He is the best in the field.

In a test-crazed age, this one matters most to the roughly 5,000 Savannah-Chatham County Public School students whose academic futures now depend on it.
For the first time this school year, Georgia's fifth graders have to pass the reading and math portions of the Criterion-Referenced Competency Test in order to move on to the sixth grade. Third graders had to pass the reading portion of the test to be promoted starting last year.
More than 90 percent of Chatham County's third graders rose to the challenge, according to the preliminary results the district released Wednesday.
That's a slight improvement from last year.
Fifth grade scores also improved from last year, but 13.09 percent of the 2,696 students tested failed to meet state standards on the reading test. Eighteen percent of the 2,709 fifth graders tested failed to meet the standard on the math test.
Students in first through eighth grade take the skills assessment in a range of subjects. The tests in grades three through eight are mandated by the federal No Child Left Behind Act and their results are used to measure the annual academic progress of the state, district and individual schools.
Sam Light, the district's chief accountability and assessment officer, said the district showed gains across all grades except first.
He added that the fifth grade math results exceeded the system's expectations.
"You can tell by looking at that fifth grade sheet, there are some schools that struggled and some that didn't," Light said.
Students at Haven, Spencer, Garrison and Thunderbolt Elementary Schools struggled the most, with the percentage of students failing fifth grade math ranging from 30.36 at Thunderbolt to 48.65 at Haven.
Haven's current fifth graders fared nearly as poorly on the math CRCT as fourth graders last year, while last year's fifth graders posted much stronger scores.
May Howard, Marshpoint, Bloomingdale and Georgetown elementaries led the district's fifth graders in math, with fewer than 6 percent of the students failing at each school.
Gadsden Elementary principal Delma Pollen said she was pleased that her school showed improvement from last year's results.
Twenty-one of 103 fifth graders, or 20.39 percent, failed math while 9 out of 103 failed reading. 14.42 percent of its third graders failed reading, compared to the 20.79 percent who failed last year.
"I think our after-school tutorial helped a lot," she said. "The classroom teachers would let the tutorial teacher know what standard or objective the kids had not mastered and that tutorial teacher would begin to work on that standard or objective."
The third and fifth graders who failed the test will have the opportunity to attend summer school beginning June 6 and can take the test again June 23.
Principals have until May 30 to mail letters to parents whose children failed one of these gateway tests. The letters will inform parents of remediation options.
If students fail the third grade reading or fifth grade reading or math test the second time around, they will have the opportunity to appeal based on their academic progress during the year.
A committee consisting of the school principal or principal's designee, the student's parent and the teacher in the content area the student failed on the CRCT handle appeals. The committee must reach a unanimous decisions in order to promote a student who failed the test.
Next year's eighth graders will have to pass the reading and math CRCT to be promoted to ninth grade.

Lopez Continues Commitment To Farm Families
Helps pass bill expanding health care for farm families
October 13, 2007
Assemblyman Pete Lopez (R,C,I – Schoharie) has announced a new opportunity to provide self-employed farmers with greater access to the Family Health Plus program. "With the struggles that upstate farmers have been facing, I am eager to see more farm families gain affordable health insurance," said Lopez. "Currently, many farmers are not eligible for the Family Health Plus program because of the way income is calculated. This bill will correct those calculations to ensure a fair and more accurate measure of farm family income." According to the current system, farm families' income must be below 150 percent of the federal poverty level. Many farm families are realistically below this threshold, however, they are deemed ineligible because they must factor in farm machinery as part of their family income. This legislation, which passed both the Assembly (Assembly Bill A-01301) and Senate (Senate Bill S-1108) during this year's legislative session, has been signed by the Governor and will become part of New York state law. It will remove depreciated farm business assets from family income when calculating income for the Family Health Plus program. "Health care remains one of the highest costs of doing business in New York," said Lopez. "By helping more farmers to utilize the benefits of Family Health Plus we can lighten their financial burden and strengthen our upstate economy."

Hoarding and Most EconomistsNews at Home
In the papers these days there are such headlines as this: "Credit Pinch Drives Banks In Europe to Hoard Cash." Now that the epicenter of the crisis has shifted to Europe, we in America might have a more dispassionate view of the issues. I would like for the reader to focus on this one word: "Hoard."
From Moses to Locke, everyone knew about hoarding. Ever since Adam Smith, nobody does. Worse, since the days of Smith, economists are under formal obligation not to utter the word hoarding. Their economic models do not, and indeed cannot, include hoarding. Their models say that all wealth that is not consumed is saved—and saving equals investment. Therefore, there is no room for hoarding in their models. Hence, economists have to maintain that hoarding does not exist.
M. L. Burstein, one of the sharpest minds in economics of the last century, once called me the "Hoarding Maven." In fact, more than forty years of research and publication—twenty-seven of them assisted by the late Nobel laureate Franco Modigliani and twenty-three years assisted by Professor Burstein—have led me to a conclusion that is different from the one reached by most economists.
Rather than jettisoning hoarding from our purview, we must jettison all those mainstream economic models that, as it is widely acknowledged, have left us unawares and contributed to lead us into the current crisis. I have indeed replaced those models with a set of more realistic models that include hoarding in their framework of analysis. These models can be found in The Economic Process, as well as in articles published in numerous scholarly journals and in the nineteenth volume of Progress in Economics Research, edited by Albert Tavidze.
What is hoarding? As Burstein recognized, hoarded is all wealth that at the moment of observation has a zero-use rate. Hence, banks can and do hoard cash.
And while banks at times hoard cash, individual human beings, as well as all other businesses, at times hoard not only cash but also real wealth.
When hoarding is put in relation to investment, as in the well-known Lorenz diagram below, one can make three fundamental observations: The more hoarding, the less growth; the more hoarding, the more inflation; the more hoarding, the more poverty.
More hoarding clearly equals less investment—hence less economic growth. Again, the relationship between hoarding and poverty is of immediate comprehension: more is accumulated by the few, less is available to the many.
The explanation of why when there is more hoarding there is more inflation resides in this simple fact. When one buys property and keeps it in a passive state, the money used to buy that wealth remains in circulation and creates an imbalance with the amount of wealth that is for sale in the market. Hence, prices rise. That is the seed of inflation.
The difficult nature of hoarding is revealed by this simple fact. At times, as at present, when financial and industrial corporations hoard cash, hoarding performs a deflationary function. This is a peculiar function that, apart from few aberrant cases (and the general case of economies with insignificant financial institutions), occurs only at the bottom of the crisis and is quantitatively miniscule when put in relation to the value of the economic system over the entire business cycle.
Rather than remaining on these fascinating issues, which are treated at some length in my book, I would like to stress the key conclusion that I had to reach on the basis of my work. Dr. Michael Emmett Brady, one of the clearest minds in economics these days (full disclosure, I am the junior author of a paper we published together), points out in his review of my book that the phenomenon of hoarding is not new. Hoarding is at least four thousand years old. In fact, Professor Brady highlights, "Keynes states this on pp. 241-42 and 351-52 but does not emphasize it for his economist audience. G[orga] emphasizes it and convincingly identifies it as the main problem" of "a destabilizing boom-bust business cycle over time."
The key conclusion of my work is this. Do not try to fight hoarding head-on. You will lose, because hoarding is rooted in an essential human characteristic: the instinctive search for economic security. Fight, instead, all those institutions that increase economic insecurity and compel human beings to hoard wealth in order to find some personal, individual sanity in a crazed world.
The complexity of the issues is revealed by the circularity of events: the more people hoard, the more destabilized the economic system becomes. But the individual, alone, is left with no rational alternative. It is society as a whole that creates insecurity, and society alone can break the vicious circle.
How? Here's a hint: By running the economy to the tune of justice.
To admit to the existence of hoarding and to include this phenomenon into macroeconomic models is the easy part. After that the discourse shifts on to economic policy, which we must reserve for another time.

In my opinion, the real issue is bigger than hoarding. For 10,000 years, we have been controlled as a species. Our DNA is not one of a free species at this point. Eventually, we had the rise of banking syndicates and the central banks. The Federal Reserve is not really public. It is private, operating in a sphere outside of democratic accountability. We cannot live freely and be in debt simply for using currency. That is not freedom.
That, to me, is the real issue. Politicians want to focus on gays, foreign countries, the flag, what offends whom, and various wars on drugs, terrorism, fat, smoking, et al. These issues may be important, perhaps, but the real issue is something more insidious. If we owe money on money printed, then we are in debt simply by existing. Depressions and recessions become certain.
Some will argue that the bad old days of nineteenth century panics were caused by lack of central banking. I argue that we can have effective planning that is also democratic and accountable. We are not forced in to a choice between economic anarchy and elite control. Another choice is possible. We need to make it.
Bill R. Collier - 8/13/2010
This is sage advice for individuals and for the nation in general. I linked to this from freedomist.com our news blog and I hope others do as well.
What you are saying is simple- hoarding takes wealth out of the picture so it can't work for us, but when times are uncertain, or the environment (legal or regulatory or economic) is uncertain people tend to hoard.
If economists and talking heads on TV considered this, what would that conversation look like?

I am on the mini (progesterone only) pill for the second time since giving birth to my now 15 month old daughter and I am having some rather unbearable emotional effects from it and I was wondering if anyone else has dealt with anything similar?? I am feeling extremely depressed and the slightest thing that my husband or daughter does makes me sooooo irritable. I am being very bitchy and irrational and crying all the time. I am completely aware of how irrational I'm being but feel that I have no control over my own body/emotions. I can't think clearly and my memory is terrible, for example I left an entire cart full of groceries in the parking lot of a store after loading my daughter in and driving off without them. They were stolen:/....I took the mini pill for the first time when my baby was a few months old and stopped taking it for this very reason. I recently suffered a miscarriage that was a result of an unexpected pregnancy that occurred while my husband and I were using a combination of the withdrawal method and condoms. So to not risk another unplanned pregnancy I thought I'd give the mini pill another shot. I am still breastfeeding so this type of bc pill is the only one I can take. My husband is allergic to spermicides so any bc method requiring the use of them (such as diaphragm) is out of the question as well. And IUD's just creep me out. So I am also wondering if anyone has any alternative bc options that I am not thinking of?........I stopped taking the mini pill 2 nights ago and am still an emotional wreck. Does anyone know when my emotions/hormones will go back to normal? Any advice or stories of similar problems greatly appreciated! Thanks ladies:)
Sorry to read that you are having such a hard time. Do you have a health care provider that you can talk with about the side effects?
I do have an obgyn (who prescribed the pill). I will ask him about it when I go in for my annual at the end of the month. I have been off of the pills for 2 weeks now and am feeling much better, however I am now concerned about getting pregnant. I already spoke to the nurse in my obgyn office and she pretty much said that since my husband is allergic to spermacide and I am nursing then this mini pill or condoms are our only options. Condoms can be rather expensive and inconvenient so I was hoping for a 3rd option. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions because this nurse has given me incorrect information in the past so I don't exactly trust her word.
I would suggest a diaphragm but it is not nearly as effective without spermicide. I'd really think about what exactly bothers you about the IUD because really, the copper (paragard) seems pretty perfect for your situation.
That was something I was seriously considering. I guess it just scares me a bit to have a piece of metal inside me. I have heard some scary stories about them moving or shifting and causing infection or puncturing internal body parts and such. My husband is also freaked out about it and afraid he would feel it when we are intimate. I told him that was not the case but to be honest I am not really sure.....I considered the diaphragm but the nurse told me it was useless without spermacide. I thought it has to be better than nothing though. It is statements like those that cause me to not trust this nurse. I asked her if a diaphragm combined with the withdrawal method would be more effective and she said no that we may as well just use withdrawal method. She confused me very much so now I am not sure what to think:-/
Well, it's a tough one. "Perfect use" failure rate (%of women experiencing unintended pregnancy within first year of use if they use it every single time they have sex, exactly correctly) of the diaphragm WITH SPERMACIDE, is 6%. "Typical use" failure rate, which includes human error, inconsistent use, etc, of this method is 12%. So I'm thinking diaphragm WITHOUT spermicide must be more like 12% failure rate at best. Women using no method of contraception have an 85% chance of conceiving in one year, everything else being equal.
The copper IUD has a typical use failure rate of .8% in the first year. There is a 1/1000 risk of uterine perforation.
Those are some numbers to chew on.
Thank you very much for those stats. That really helps a lot. I think I may reconsider the copper iud again and try to convince my husband. Or perhaps getting a diaphragm isn't such a bad idea either. It has to be better than nothing! I will do a little more research myself. I really think the nurse that I see is a bit of a quack (if you can call a nurse that)....She also stated once that withdrawal method is just as effective as the mini pill! I know for a fact that is not true. Once again thank you. You have been very helpful in my decision. Do you know anything about hormonal imbalance? I am trying to do some research on this subject as I believe I have some hormonal imbalance issues that cause some emotional and physical distress that is always present but exacerbated by this mini pill. I am interested in any info or stories from other women who have experienced these types of problems.
I'm so happy I read your post because I know of this great spermicide alternitive called Contragel. It is totally natural, and perfect for using with a diaphram for those who are alergic to nonoxonal-9. Hormones also messed big time with my system, and I now use FAM with a diaphram and contragel. I feel like a diffrent person.
check it out here http://ethicalfamilyplanning.com/natural-contraception/contragel.html and here http://ethicalfamilyplanning.com/store/contragel-natural-spermicide.html
I hope this helps! good luck!
Thank you so much for the suggestion!!! I read the link that you posted and it sounds perfect for me! I'm not sure if I am just missing it or if it was not stated on the page but, is the contragel equally as effective as regular spermacides? and one last question, please don't mind my ignorance, but what is FAM? Once again, thank you so much for your advice! It just may be a lifesaver for me:)
I don't remember 100% what the statistics where when I was researching it, but I'm almost positive, yes, it is as effective. It works differently then a chemical spermicide, it blocks the sperm because it is sticky and the sperm can't travel through the actual gel, and because of the PH levels of the gel kill sperm. I've been using it for a few years now without any issues. But it is important to note that it is meant to be used along with a diaphragm or cap, not as birth control on its own.
FAM is short for Fertility Awareness Method. (also called NFP sometimes) There is a ton to write on the subject and a ton to learn, but in short, it is a system for getting to know when you are ovulating so that you can know exactly when you actually have a fertile egg available for the sperm. A lot of people use a similar method of tracking ovulation to increase their chances of getting pregnant when they are trying to conceive, but really, that same kind of knowledge can be transplanted to trying to avoid pregnancy. If you know when you are ovulating, then you can know your "fertility window," the time of month sex could result in pregnancy.
When using FAM, you'd be able to use a barrier method of contraception during week or so of the month that you are fertile for, and the rest of the month you are free to have sex without another method of contraception, because there is just no egg available.
There are a few ways of figuring out when you are ovulating, the most accurate seems to be through taking your body temperature - called basel body temperature. Your temperature actually rises by few points right before you are going to ovulate and is a highly reliable indicator of fertility. You can get to know the different textures of your cervical mucus, and the position of your cervix. The key is getting a good thermometer and tracking your info accurately so you can be totally confidant in the system. (I use a fertility monitor called Cyclotest that has a built in thermometer to make this all simple.)
If you click around more on that site http://ethicalfamilyplanning.com, they have a lot of info on it. I bought a bunch of stuff through them, they are really great and have super costumer service. I got Cyclotest and a diaphragm through them.
Totally feel free to ask anything else! FAM is such a great method of birth control, and in my opinion far too many women just don't know that it can be a reliable option! I'm always happy to talk about it :)
Good luck!

Senior Modern Data Architect
Senior Modern Data Architect
Location: Ongoing opportunities nationwide including Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Indianapolis, Louisville, Miami, Seattle, St. Louis, Tampa
Is Data your passion? Are you looking to become more involved with Big Data?
Centric Consulting is hiring a Modern Data Architect for our National Data & Analytics practice. In this role, you will deliver modern solutions that combine business intelligence, data warehousing, cloud and big data. You'll be involved in all aspects of design, architecture, and implementation. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to grow your Big Data skills on a variety of projects. This is a great opportunity for a seasoned professional looking to expand their skills in a new direction.
This is a senior level full-time opportunity.
What You'll Do as a Senior Modern Data Architect
You will design modern architectures involving traditional BI and big data technologies
You will implement the solutions you design, also mentoring other members of your team.
You will analyze source systems and design extract methodologies.
You will ensure compliance with the architecture through team oversight.
You will profile and analyze source system data.
You will continue to learn Big Data methodologies and technologies, applying them to client projects over time.
You will build client relationships and participate in business development and proposal work.
What You'll Bring
Creating unmatched experiences, for both clients and employees, is what we do. You should revel in doing the unexpected and extraordinary for others.
The fun part about consulting is that no two days are the same. You should have a learning mindset, ready to experience new ideas and situations regularly.
Consulting experience is strongly preferred.
We want someone who likes to solve problems. Clients don't come to us when the problem is easy. You should enjoy taking on the hard stuff.
And because we work with clients, excellent communication skills are important – both written and verbal. Translating technical concepts into layman's terms is an essential skill.
You should be someone with the spirit of an educator and thus gets excited about mentoring and knowledge sharing.
Do you like to travel? Good, because we need someone who likes being on the road. Expect up to 75% travel.
A passion for Big Data is a must. You do not need to be a seasoned pro in this space, but you should be enthusiastic about getting there!
Last but not least, you will, of course, need to be a solid Traditional BI Architect. Since we tend to do a lot of Microsoft projects, we would prefer if you had that background.
Why Centric?
- Supportive environment – We expect a lot from our Data Architects. But you won't be asked to do it alone. You will have the full support of the Data & Analytics team and everyone at Centric. We love to help people succeed.
- Special culture – Hands down, the people are the best part of Centric. But you shouldn't take our word on it – check us out on Glassdoor, Facebook or Twitter to get a glimpse inside what makes us different.
- Network of technology champions – There's no fun in being the only geek in the room. Centric celebrates all things tech. For example, we hold a yearly gathering called Camp I/O. In the vein of TEDx talks, Camp I/O is an opportunity for technology-minded people across Centric to get together and show off what they can do when not constrained by client requirements and platforms. Check out some of the innovative presentations from last year.
- All-company (paid!) vacation trip – Who doesn't want to go someplace warm in the winter?
Centric believes the best solutions come from diverse teams. We strive to have an environment where everyone has an opportunity to be successful regardless of their race, color, religion, gender, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, military or veteran status, sexual orientation or gender identity.

Marla Allison's paintings captivate me.
Art that grabs me tends to initiate a dialogue about identity as a product of internal self and external place. It may also simultaneously or exclusively unleash my imagination, prompting me to ask what my tastes teach me about my self and my place, on the way to expanding my understanding of reality.
Allison's "Blue Innocence," for example, shows a little girl holding a birdcage in the shadow of a tree. She looks toward the horizon, which blends into the foreground, suggesting perhaps that time and place, measured in distance, are one.
The strong sense of place and tradition in Allison's work might be expected of a Native American from Laguna Pueblo, but Allison examines the scene through the modern lenses of Pablo Picasso and Paul Klee, piecing it together from variously hued blue blocks.
"The more you look at something, the more it becomes broken up pieces of something. It's pixilated, in modern terms," she tells me over the phone. "But if you step back, it becomes a full form."
On her website, Allison describes such pieces as mosaic paintings that force viewers to put the squares back together, visually blending the edges "as a way of putting themselves and their past into it in the process."
My dialogue with Allison's work takes off with those words. When my mind goes back to my hometown in the Rust Belt—wondering still how that environment has shaped my understanding of reality—I tend to feel hopeless, unable to recall much more than suburbs cut by post-industrial decline.
Allison pulls subject matter from her "line of sight" or influential stories from the past, then applies the color separation she learned from Klee, adding her own hues, like silver, to his reds and browns, which in turn returns her to some of the traditional ways of the pueblo.
"Playing around with those ideas pushed me to reconnect with pottery design," she says, "taking geometric shapes, the broken pieces…and changing it into a pottery form."
While her work—which joins that of more than 130 other Native artists at the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts' Winter Indian Market—describes life on the pueblo, the themes that interest her also seem to come from a deeper genetic knowledge. "If I'm driving home from the studio, and I see this giant elk on the side of the road—something of that magnitude—he's telling me, 'I need to be in a painting.'"
Even just the technical aspects of the elk as a figure in the dark—its dark neck and light body—send her back to the studio, excited to experiment with form and color. She wonders at the associations the mind makes with certain brush strokes. A stroke of color in one context might be a lightening bolt in the sky; in a different context, it might be a landscape feature.
"I try playing with everything I can," she says. "That's the excitement of being an artist—the chance to explore. If I don't like it, I don't show it to the public. I just try my best to make something exploratory and challenging."
This reminds me of something the Idaho author Kim Barnes told me once. She said, "In the action is grace."
If I interject this idea into my conversation with Allison's work, I might consider breaking my hometown into pieces—what hasn't already been disassembled by the automobile industry—to see where I fit in the spaces between.
Of course, that also means being willing to accept whatever I find out about myself. And I've been looking from a distance for so long that I'm not sure I want to get close enough to see the cracks anymore.
Winter Indian Market

Alliance Insurance Group Enrollment Services are as unique as your business, and can involve several different methods for achieving the same basic result of communicating what benefits are offered, educating employees of the features and advantages of each benefit relative to their individual tolerance for risk, and enrolling the employee in the desired benefit.
Enrollment Services; however, are far greater in scope than the description above and involve several steps both prior to actually making that first contact with an employee, as well as after the employee has authorized their coverage.
We take pride in building a long-term relationship with our clients and understand that to deliver on our promise, we need to fully understand not only our client's desired outcome for their enrollment, but any potential situations which could impede our progress along the way. Each client group is unique and our approach is to spend more time up-front than what is typical of our competitors, or of our industry in general. Steps all successful enrollments require are clear goals and expectations, contingencies for unforeseen circumstances, and post-enrollment follow-up and follow through.
Clients may wish to have pre-enrollment materials distributed to employees, to include collateral and quotes or "group presentation meetings" with questions & answers either during the meeting or afterwards. Clients may have their own internal election forms on which our Benefit Counselors will facilitate enrollment, or require only a spreadsheet of deductions following the enrollment. We have delivered it all, and we can deliver for you.
We have the capability to enroll "one-on-one" using either a paper-based enrollment booklet method which is well suited to less tech savvy employees, or with automated laptop, e-signature authorization for employees comfortable with technology, but who still prefer personal interaction. Enrollment can be quick and efficient with either method. For diverse locations we can provide "call center" enrollment capability and are partnered with the industries' leading and most innovative Benefits Administration Systems which can provide our larger client companies comprehensive benefits administration and enrollment, with on-going analyses during and after Open Enrollment allowing self-serve enrollment of new hires autonomously.
We have our own full time staff of qualified Benefit Counselors available nationally, for around the clock enrollments, who will verify and correct employee data, communicate the value of the benefits you offer, and ensure that all enrollment and post-enrollment processes are completed as expected, allowing quicker implementation with vendors and carriers. Call us and establish a timeline for your next enrollment.
