My love for NUANCE Salma Hayek products continue. I hosted a party on behalf of the brand a few weeks back (post coming soon) and now I've gone from liking the brand to being totally obsessed. I mean, what's not to love? The products are affordable, easy to find and they are preservative-free. This CVS-exclusive brand has quickly become one of my favorite brands and it's because their products always feel high-end.
Like this gel cleanser…
Man, this stuff is fantastic. I've been using it for a month now and it is absolutely wonderful. I spotted this at one of my CVS's (but haven't seen it at any others) and I can't believe I waited so long to try it. Both oily and dry skin lovers can get behind this because it's hydrating, soothing and cleansing. I know people are suspicious about cleansers that don't foam up but you really don't need suds to thoroughly cleanse the skin.
And yeah, I can be a lover of the suds too but this cleanser is just ridiculously refreshing. Especially on these too hot to think Florida days.
-It feels cooling. If you've got sunburned skin, this will feel so good on your skin.
-A little goes a long way.
-The woodsy fragrance is niiiiice. And because of that, men may like this cleanser too.
-It thoroughly cleanses the skin. I checked by using a makeup remover after using the cleanser.
-Great and gentle enough for acne prone skin.
-The lack of suds may have you questioning if your skin is really cleansed.
-It is not suitable for cleaning off waterproof makeup. You'll need a makeup remover for that.
-May not be available at your CVS.
-It's a tad bit pricey for a drugstore face cleanser.
Cost– $9.99
Where To Buy – CVS stores and CVS.com.
Do I recommend it? – Yep, I think it's fantastic!
Have you tried any of the Nuance skincare products yet? Oh! And if you haven't checked out the cleansing wipes, ooooohmiiiigoodness, you better get on it. Stat!

The big headline number from Wednesday's Congressional Budget Office report is a jolting shot of bad news: a budget deficit this fiscal year of close to $1.5 trillion, or 9.8 percent of gross domestic product (GDP).
That's nearly as big as 2009's shortfall, which was the highest in nearly 65 years. The $1.5 trillion deficit would be a nominal record, but not quite as big as the 2009 deficit when measured as a percentage of the economy.Story: CBO: U.S. budget deficit to hit $1.5 trillion
More bad news: CBO's forecasters don't see employment returning to anything like normal before 2016.
Look inside the 190-page report and you'll find facts, figures and forecasts that could help Republicans make their case that deficits and debt must be cut now. But you'll also find other data that can aid President Barack Obama and Democrats in making their budgetary arguments — especially on the fiscal rationale for not repealing the health care law.
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Christie acknowledges federal subpoena
- Obama says Fox News's O'Reilly 'absolutely' unfair in extended interview
- Christie security officer hit with shoplifting charges
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
More politics
Wednesday's report carries political weight. Even though congressional Republicans have heaped abuse on the CBO for reporting last year that the health care bill that Obama signed into law would reduce the deficit, CBO still remains the neutral, professional budget scorekeeper. It sets the terms of the debate.Chart: Interactive: U.S. budget deficits continues to soar
Arguments for cutting spending and debt
For Republicans, the CBO report supplies powerful arguments for cutting spending and reducing debt.
The CBO's new estimate of the deficit for 2011 is $414 billion larger than the one the office produced last August.
The new report uses the word "unsustainable" to describe deficits and debt in the years ahead.
It warns that interest rates — which it says are "very low by historical standards" right now — will go up and will drive up the cost of paying off the debt. Interest payments on the debt "are expected to skyrocket." CBO projects that the government's yearly net interest spending will more than triple between 2011 and 2021.Video: McConnell: Obama's spending cut proposal 'inadequate' (on this page)
As if that weren't frightening enough, the CBO warns in unusually stark language — as it has before — of the potential for a sovereign debt crisis. The report uses the words "Greece" and "Ireland" only once but it spells out a scary scenario in detail.
Other political news of note

Risk of 'a sudden fiscal crisis'
The growing debt, it says, "would increase the probability of a sudden fiscal crisis, during which investors would lose confidence in the government's ability to manage its budget and the government would thereby lose its ability to borrow at affordable rates."
It warns that "as other countries' experiences show, investors can lose confidence abruptly and interest rates on government debt can rise sharply and unexpectedly. The exact point at which such a crisis might occur for the United States is unknown, in part because the ratio of federal debt to GDP is climbing into unfamiliar territory. ... There is no way to predict with any confidence whether and when such a crisis might occur and no identifiable tipping point of debt relative to GDP."Video: Obama to Congress: Let's 'move forward' together (on this page)
With that kind of risk being discussed by somber, nonpartisan numbers crunchers, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell's response to Obama's State of the Union speech sounds more compelling. Obama's call for a freeze on some types of federal spending falls way short, McConnell said.
"To freeze spending at this astronomically high level that we've achieved over the last two years really is totally inadequate." McConnell said on MSNBC Wednesday morning.
Why taxes must go up
But then there's data in the report that give Democrats ammunition for arguing that the tax increases that Obama called for Tuesday night on upper-income Americans must be part of any deficit solution.
"To keep annual deficits and total federal debt from becoming unsustainable, lawmakers will need to increase revenues as a percentage of GDP significantly above historical levels, sharply decrease projected spending, or pursue some combination of the two approaches," the budget office said.
It's not the CBO's job to recommend what combination of spending cuts and tax increases would do the job — but it does imply that tax increases are inevitable.
Due to so many Americans not working, tax revenues have fallen. The government is forced to borrow partly because tax revenues are so low by historical standards. In 2011, for the third consecutive year, "revenues would be just under 15 percent of GDP; levels that low have not been seen since 1950," the report says. Over the past 40 years, total revenues have averaged about 18 percent of GDP.Video: Deficit to hit record high
Democrats could use this to rebut Republican arguments that Americans "are not under-taxed."
New revenue gained from health care law
And CBO reminds Congress that the health care law does have tax increases and new revenues in it: For example, $91 billion will be collected through 2021 from a new fee on health insurers set to begin in 2014.
And CBO does not back away from its estimate that the health care law, largely due to its cuts in future Medicare spending, will reduce future deficits.
But there's a warning to both parties from CBO director Doug Elmendorf in his blog post on the report.
Deficits should shrink to about 3.6 percent of GDP, starting next year and for the next several years, he said. But that will occur only if Congress does three things which both Republicans and Democrats are reluctant to do:
- Allow the alternative minimum tax to bite more and more middle-class people. (Congress has repeatedly passed one-year AMT "patches" to keep the tax from affecting the middle class. It has a big impact especially on taxpayers in relatively high-income states with high state taxes, such as Maryland and New York.)
- Raise taxes on upper-income people by reverting to the pre-2001 income tax rates. (Obama and Congress agreed to a two-year postponement of this tax increase, but Obama renewed his call for the tax hike on Tuesday night.)
- Curb the annual increase in Medicare's payment rates for physicians, to bring them into line with the inflation rate in the wider economy. Again, Congress has repeatedly passed temporary "doc fix" bills to shield doctors from these cost curbs.
If Congress can't find the will to do those three things, Elmendorf said, deficits from 2012 through 2021 would average about 6 percent of GDP and debt would rise to a level not seen since right after the Japanese signed the instrument of surrender on the battleship Missouri.

This is a flashcard application written in PyGTK for learning words, sentences and other factual data. It supports UTF-8 and has been successfully tested with Japanese, Arabic and Devanagri (Nepali and Hindi) characters. It also runs on all desktops and laptops that have PyGTK installed. For download, see package at OPKG.org and project at SourceForge.
To get to the source, see SVN or download the opk file and do an 'ar x pyflash.opk', then you will get a bunch a files. One of them is a .tar.gz which holds the source code. for the moment, this is the only way to get to the source.
Note that the 'Open' button is disabled in fullscreen mode, because the popup will be in the background and user is unable to control the dialog that has the current focus.
At the moment the following flashcard sets are available inside the pyflash package:
- kanjidic. This is a set of 6356 kanji flashcards. It is generated from the kanjidic collection which is shipped with the gjiten package. This set is superseding the Remembering the Kanji flashcards part 3. At the moment the application will load this set when it is started from the desktop launcher.
An example of the versatile format based upon Remembering the Kanji is given here:
口;N868 U53E3;S3 G1 F284 口:mouth:コウ、ク、くち
日;N2097 U65E5;S4 G1 F1 日:day|sun|Japan:ニチ、ジツ、ひ、-び、-か
癒;N3081 U7652;S18 G8 F1667 疒:healing|cure|quench (thirst)|wreak:ユ、い(える)、いや(す)
The part before the first : is the question. There, the characters before the first ; is the actual question. e.g. 口 or 日. Other characters of that part form the explanation of the question. Extra ; in there will trigger a new line in the explanation as can be seen in the screenshots. The part in between the middle two : is the answer and the part after the last : is the explanation or pronunciation of the answer.
Note that the answer and pronunciation will only appear after tapping the text area of the application. Here the explanation of the question is used to flood the screen with all sort of data, e.g. U53E3 is the unicode ID and the kanji at the end is the radical used for quick look up in dictionaries.

Tolerance isn't good enough for the Body of Christ.
WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING IN SPANISH OR geared to the Hispanic community here. We simply don't have any Hispanics, my pastor told me. Are the Rodriguezes, the Lopezes, and the Garcias that I know in this neighborhood Polish? I asked.
"No; but they have been here for so long, they'd rather attend the regular Mass."
Regular? And what, exactly, is regular within the Body of Christ, I wonder? Like Saint Paul once said: Is the foot better than the hand? Who has decided what must be the norm in worship and expression of faith?
For all its expressed commitment to the ideals of reflecting multiculturalism, instances like this show just how far the Catholic Church still needs to grow.
Another example: A parish council composed of people of different nationalities meets. A member of one of these ethnic groups comments: "We came here and adapted to the culture here. We accept the fact that Hispanics need their things in Spanish for a time; but of course, we expect them to learn English and do things like the rest of us." In other words, Spanish was something to be tolerated for the time being--not something that would be acceptable in the end.
Never mind that most Hispanics either do know English or are more than willing to learn it. But the fact remains: culture is much more than language, and gospel values have an altogether different language.
There was a time in this country when minority groups were not allowed to speak their own language in worship. Or, at the most, they would be given the opportunity to worship in the church basement. There was a time when immigrant groups set up their own national parishes and tried to show--through their establishments, churches, and schools--that they were civilized, peace-loving people, worthy of taking a place in American society.
Looking back, they might have been trying to earn some tolerance. And it would seem that in a society where waves of immigrants in the past were forced to integrate into the dominant culture, tolerance of minorities should be quite a step forward.
And perhaps it is.
But I--and a number of people I have been talking to recently--don't want to merely tolerate, and we are not asking for tolerance in return. We don't like the word or the concept. Touting tolerance as a triumph for church or culture places one group of dominant people in a good light, encourages complacency, and doesn't really acknowledge the true value of the "other." Tolerance places the tolerant, "normative" person or group in a position of superiority. Tolerance is almost like saying: "You are inferior; you bother me. I don't understand your values or your culture. I don't like you, but, because I am a big person--or group--I, or we, will tolerate you." It is condescending and annoying to people on the receiving end. And by encouraging complacency--tolerance calls for merely cosmetic and painless changes, after all--it breeds indifference. It leaves the dominant culture as dominant and only grudgingly makes room for the different.
A tolerant parish, for instance, will finally--often after there has been a public outcry for a number of years--acknowledge the presence of a minority group in its boundaries and schedule a Mass in Spanish (or any language other than English, for that matter). But it will be at a time when it least inconveniences the Anglo congregation. The message here is loud and clear: The "white" church is the real one, the important one, but we will do a good thing by tolerating; we will show some charity to those who are darker, or speak a different language, until they learn English and our ways, becoming like us.
A tolerant parish will occasionally hold a celebration including the foods of other countries, a touch of their color, and perhaps even some distinctive music. Staying at the level of folklore is, of course, quite safe. A tolerant diocese will set up an Office of Ethnic Ministries, throwing all colors in it as if the dominant culture did not belong to any ethnic group and were colorless. (Naturally, it does not need special attention, because it has all the attention in the world.)
TOLERANCE IS NOT LIMITED TO ANGLO CONGREGATIONS. A tolerant Hispanic community will look condescendingly on the other communities who "don't understand anything about community or fiesta." Members of a tolerant Hispanic community will not think twice about translating the offensive message on a T-shirt: "Family: you wouldn't understand. It's a Hispanic thing."
Tolerance might be a good thing to strive for in society, but it is not good enough for the Body of Christ. Come to think of it, as applied to the church, the concept is preposterous, even schizophrenic. Could a heart ever "tolerate" a leg? Or a finger tolerate a liver? In medical terms we hear the word referring to transplanted organs: liver tolerance, heart tolerance. Here, the organ is an alien, a guest in the original body.
But there are no aliens or guests in the Body of Christ. The Body of Christ was not originally Anglo--with Italians, Hispanics, Asians, or African Americans later transplanted to be rejected or accepted by the host organism. They belong there. Likewise, minority groups do not constitute the Body of Christ on their own. They have no right to tolerate--or to reject--Anglos.
While it is true that most businesses are moved by financial rather than spiritual interests, many have done better than some churches in demonstrating that we can do more than tolerate. There is an ad for Continental Airlines, for instance, that claims: "We don't translate; we think in Spanish." Translation is the language of tolerance. But the church should have a language of its own, beyond translation, and therefore beyond tolerance.
Those of us who speak more than one language know very well that translations are often treacherous. Syntax, word order, rhythms, or lack of understanding creep into a translation and change at the very least the flavor, at worst the whole meaning of a text. In order to really know the language, one must think in that language, not merely translate. Tolerance is translation, and a poor translation at that. Being the Body of Christ means thinking in the language of the other.
WHAT WOULD A CHURCH THAT DOES NOT TOLERATE, does not merely translate, look like? In liturgical terms it would be a church where worship would enjoy all the solemnity and the reverence of the Anglo ritual together with the warmth, color, and sense of celebration and implication of the body of the Hispanic one.
It would be a church where a powerful spirit of community wouldn't overwhelm the sense of individuality and a personal relationship with God.
It would be a church were the spirit of sacrifice for others often overcomes the sense of personal convenience, but also where the pain of death always looks in hope to the Resurrection.
It would be a church where Hispanics would learn to think in the language of efficiency and affirmation of their own individuality, while Anglos would learn to give more prominence to the language of community and family as a much larger reality than pure blood lines.
It would be a church where an Anglo culture that has been hard at work trying to deny pain and difficulty, and even death, would learn to face it calmly and in hope. Where a Hispanic culture that has been oppressed for ages would shake off, to a certain extent, its sense of fatalism and resignation to sorrow--engaging as well in the affirmation of rights and the change of "what has always been" because "ad es la vida."
It would be a church where the search for a culturally welcoming church community does not become "parish hopping" and where Hispanics learn a sense of responsible stewardship.
Tolerance would be unheard of in such a community. The concept itself would not be understood. After all, we don't need to tolerate ourselves.

19 Jun, 2017 – Era Organics' recently launched Amazon product Natural Face Washis gradually emerging as a preferred natural alternative to get rid of acne, dermatitis, psoriasis, and eczema. Suitable for dry, oily, sensitive, and damaged skins, this product is very close to achieving the milestone of five hundred Amazon reviews. Era Organics is an established name in the skin care market with an impressive range of products manufactured using natural and organic ingredients backed by the latest research. Available in 4 ounce and 8 ounce bottles, Era Organics Natural Face Wash is available in Amazon for $19.87 and $24.97, respectively.
Repeated use of chemical laden soaps can very easily disrupt the natural skin pH of 5.5. Use of alkaline bleaches and soaps can quickly increase the skin pH to a higher level. Once the skin pH becomes alkaline, it takes around twelve hours to restore the same. Natural Face Wash from Era Organics nourishes, heals, and restores the skin with each wash while maintaining its natural pH balance.
The manufacturer claims that the unique capabilities of their Natural Face Wash can be attributed to Organic Aloe Vera and Manuka Honey, its two most important ingredients. A number of scientific studies have established that Manuka Honey works extremely well for eczema and acne patients. Rich in antioxidants, it also heals burns and wounds. On the other hand, Organic Aloe Vera is extensively used in the health and wellness industry for its high potential to fight aging, accelerating the healing of wounds, lighten blemishes, reduce acne and infection, moisturize the skin, and much more.
The formulation is sulfate-free, and contains no harmful chemicals, alcohol, mineral oil, paraben, or fragrance. Moreover, no animal testing has been done while manufacturing this product.
A satisfied user of Era Organics Natural Face Wash mentioned in her Amazon review, "I bought this a little over 2 weeks ago and wanted to wait to write a review. I have to say this face wash is wonderful. I wish I had taken before and after pics. My face has cleared up, my skin also feels smoother. I bought this along with the exfoliating product and moisturizer. I would recommend this product."

US futures rising ahead of factory, jobs data
Stock futures rose Wednesday ahead of a flurry of job market data coming out this week.
Dow Jones industrial futures rose 47 points to 12,980. The broader S&P futures have added 3.5 points to 1,409. Nasdaq futures tacked on 2.25 points to 2,666.75.
The crucial monthly jobs report will be released by the Labor Department on Friday, but investors got a peak at job market conditions as payroll provider ADP released its monthly report Wednesday. ADP said that private employers added 118,000 jobs in November. That was short of most estimates, partially due to the devastation of Superstorm Sandy. The report didn't put a dent in the upward trajectory of U.S. futures markets, or trading overseas.
In Europe, Germany's DAX rose 0.3 percent rate to 7,455.38. The CAC-40 in France rose 0.3 percent at 3,591.
The Labor Department released its productivity report for the summer and said that productivity grew at an annual rate of 2.9 percent from July through September. That's the fastest pace in two years and up from an initial estimate of 1.9 percent. Labor costs dropped at a rate of 1.9 percent, more than the 0.1 percent dip initially estimated.
The Labor Department releases its weekly unemployment claims report Thursday, though that can be volatile, so most investors are awaiting the monthly jobs report Friday.
Later on Wednesday, the Commerce Department is expected to report that orders to U.S. factories rose modestly in October, thanks to a solid gain in demand for machinery and equipment.

Turkish Almond Cookies
(Acibadem Kurabiyesi)
1 cup ground almond
2 tbsp graham crumbs
1 2/3 cup powder sugar
3 egg whites, lightly whisked
8 almond halves
Place all the ingredients in a medium sized pot. Stir constantly and heat it up with just under medium heat. Do not boil! To measure that the temperature is right is to dip your pinkie in it. It should be warm but shouldn't burn.
Take the pot from the heat and pour it into a heat proof dish. Let it cool down. Meanwhile oil eight 5 cm diameter paper baking cups (I used spray oil). Spoon out the mixture equally into the oiled paper baking cups. Place the almonds on top. Then place the cups on an oven tray.
Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Then turn down the heat to 240 F (120 C) and put the tray in the oven. Bake for about 45 minutes without opening the oven door. If you open the oven door, The Almond Cookies will droop! Let them cool down before serving traditional Turkish Almond Cookies.
Makes 8 Almond Cookies.

The war has officially ended, but the streets are still a battleground--for food, for shelter, for protection. Felix is in hiding to stay safe, but has been left holding the baby--literally. Feliz vows protect the infant, just as a few incredible people saved him from the Holocaust. This immensely affecting story will move readers of all ages and will be welcomed by the many Holocaust educators who use Once, Now, Then and After with upper primary and lower secondary children.
Morris Gleitzman grew up in England and came to Australia when he was sixteen. After university he worked for ten years as a screenwriter. Then he had a wonderful experience. He wrote a novel for young people. Now, after 36 books, he's one of Australia's most popular children's authors. Visit Morris at his website: morrisgleitzman.com

Hymn 667 of the Trinity Hymnal, "To God Be the Glory", reads "And opened the life-gate that we may go in." I grew up singing "that all may go in." How was the hymn originally written? Thank you.
Fanny Crosby's original hymn, published in 1875, reads: "And opened the life gate that all may go in."
It was apparently the editors of the original Trinity Hymnal (1961) who changed the words to "And opened the life-gate that we may go in." (It is possible, however, that they were using the wording of an earlier hymnal.)
Furthermore, though you do not mention it, the line in verse 2, "The vilest offender who truly believes, that moment from Jesus a pardon receives" was altered to "forgiveness receives."
These changes were clearly marked: "St. 1, line 4; st. 2, line 4, alt." (though the marking does not specifically state "alt. 1961," which would attribute the change specifically to the Trinity Hymnal). The revised Trinity Hymnal (1990, hymn 55) retained the changes. Orthodox Presbyterians singing from these hymnals use the altered words which are jarring to those who are used to Fanny Crosby's original.
Why did the editors make these changes? They clearly move in a Calvinistic direction.
With regard to the first change, they apparently wanted to safeguard the doctrine of limited atonement: the doctrine that, while Christ's death on the cross for sinners was sufficient for all fallen sons of Adam (all the human race with the exception only of himself, the perfect one), it was intended only for the elect (those whom the Father had given to the Son before the foundation of the world, John 17:2, Rev. 17:8).
The second change is a bit perplexing because "pardon" and "forgive" are linguistically related ("pardon" is from the Latin per- [for] + dōnāre, to give).
It is this writer's opinion that the changes were unnecessary. The term "all" can be sung with the sense "all for whom he died"that is, the elect ("all" as opposed to the one who died, 2 Cor. 5:14). The vilest sinner who truly believes in Jesus Christ does indeed receive pardon, forgiveness of sins and remission, as well as the imputed righteousness of Christ which alone qualifies him for heaven.
At the time of the publication of the original Trinity Hymnal, OPC minister, theologian and musician E. J. Young wrote several articles about the project in The Presbyterian Guardian, explaining the committee's rationale behind the choice and wording of the hymns included. The articles are available at the links below. Scroll through the pdf file to find the page.

"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

The roll-out of Anthony Weiner's midlife crisis-cum-mayoral campaign has gone about as well as the candidate could have hoped. He announced it via video, beating the tabloids' print deadlines, evading eponymous puns for one precious day. When he met the press, he juggled questions about his younger and more vulnerable days without a droplet of flop sweat. "People may decide they want to come forward and say, here's another email that I got or another photo," he yawned in a radio interview, repeating a stock line. "I'm certainly not going to do that."
Good for him and better for us, but there's still something amiss with that schlocky launch video. Weiner runs through the highlights of his 12-year congressional career, and claims he "led the campaign for real health reform, that regular people can afford."
There's no citation, not even some footnote crediting a roll call vote or a Center for American Progress blog comment. What was "real health reform?" Weiner's campaign didn't clarify for me. Luckily, having been awake for much of 2009 and 2010, I recall the congressman as a frequent cable news advocate for a bill that didn't pass—single payer, Canada-style, cradle-to-grave care. Weiner even introduced a Medicare repeal amendment and dared Republicans to support it, to prove that they wouldn't "stamp out the scourge of government-run, government-administered, single-payer health care."
So Weiner was good at wrangling press. We knew that. "Who's better?" he told a reporter in 2010. "Like, why do you even walk around the room? I'll give you your money shot and you can go back and file." That's a skill, sort of, when most members of Congress are Bergman-movie-boring. Being flashy and ineffective—actually, bragging about how flashy and ineffective you are—is strategically sound, from campaign to campaign, as long as those campaigns are directed at voters who hate Congress and don't pay a ton of attention to its mechanics.
Exhibit A: Weiner on health care. The ideal Weiner bill never got a vote, and Democrats dropped it before their November 2009 passage of the "public option" package. The debate moved to the Senate. There, liberals were attempting to add a "Medicare buy-in" to the bill, letting people under the retirement age pay to enter the system. Weiner endorsed it. "Extending this successful program to those between 55 and 64," he said, "a plan I proposed in July, would be the largest expansion of Medicare in 44 years and would perhaps get us on the path to a single-payer model."
Liberals fumed, because Weiner—for what, a spot on a TV show?—had given away their blueprints. Within a week, Sen. Joe Lieberman (who'd backed a Medicare buy-in during his 2004 presidential campaign) bailed, telling reporters that "Congressman Weiner made a comment that Medicare-buy in is better than a public option, it's the beginning of a road to single-payer." He was spooked. Perhaps Lieberman, whose final term was a symphony of dyspepsia, was always going to cut the rug out from under Democrats. But Weiner's grandstanding didn't help.
But grandstanding serves a purpose. Legislating? Tougher to say. One of the only other semi-competitive elections in America this year is the special Senate election in Massachusetts. Democrats, after some trauma and trepidation, nominated a 37-year veteran of the House, Rep. Ed Markey. Republicans passed over two relatively experienced candidates and nominated Gabriel Gomez, whose ads remind us he's a "businessman, Navy pilot, Navy SEAL," and promise to support a three-pronged reform plan of term limits, "no budget no pay," and banning members of Congress from ever becoming lobbyists.
Two of these ideas, in practice, are hilariously useless. Republicans passed a version of "no budget no pay" this year, which prompted the Senate to pass "a budget," which the House didn't move on. The "ban" on congressmen becoming lobbyists for at least two years after their term ends is easy enough to evade if, like Scott Brown, you merely join a lobbying firm and don't register as a lobbyist. Doesn't matter: Gomez contrasts his agenda with the fact that Markey hasn't passed a bill of his own in a while. "If you're saying the longer you're down there the more effective you're going to be," he told a TV interviewer, "well name me one [piece of] legislation that Congressman Markey has sponsored in the last 20 years that's become a bill."
This was brilliant jujitsu. As a Republican strategist triumphantly pointed out to me, even a reporter debunking the story had to admit that the "assertion, read narrowly, is true." It was true because Markey merely influenced and shaped bills that ended up being passed, with new names and bylines, in the Senate. Sure, Markey's used the telltale phrases "fought for" or "campaigned for" to beg a little credit for bills that didn't pass. But Gomez is asking voters to deny him credit for anything that doesn't bear his name, a wise bet predicated on a general disinterest on the mechanics of our hated Congress.
That's sort of the point, though. Voters absolutely hate Congress. They have hated Congress for decades, with a brief, troubling pause after 9/11 when they felt a terrified flutter of jingoism. Partisans, the people who vote in primaries, react more strongly to grandstanding than to dull details like "whether the bill passed or not." This is the phenomenon haunting Senate Republicans. They've watched Sen. Ted Cruz and Sen. Rand Paul run ahead of party strategy, get defeated, get derided, attack the rest of the party for "squish" tendencies, and end up punished with more grassroots amour and media attention. "Mr. Obama is betting the GOP keeps running into his fixed bayonets," sighed the Wall Street Journal's Kim Strassel, "shouting 'repeal!' with their last, spent breath." RedState's Erick Erickson pronounced Strassel the "Senate GOP's stenographer."
Weiner isn't running for Senate. If he wins the mayor's office, he has more executive power than most governors or presidents. (There's no City Council filibuster to worry about.) In his 64-bullet-point manifesto he dreams of New York as a "single-payer laboratory," fulfilling that crazy dream smothered by his MSNBC mid-day hits. He failed so spectacularly that he's bound to succeed. You might not believe it. You're not the average voter.

So, I'm curious. Both the opinions given in this poll have been stated often in the last few weeks; I'd like to get some idea of how the numbers stack up on either side. If you feel my poll questions are way too restrictive and arbitrary, by all means tell me so in the comments.
I'm asking about the sexual relationship between the two women, but I've worded the question to include the build-up to it and the aftermath once they broke up as well. Also, I'm not asking about whether you enjoyed reading the story, but whether you thought it was credible and played a part in the overall season arc, or if it was just pure fanservice.
When a few people have answered I'll edit this post to look at how the answers and the demographics correlate.
ETA: Updated Statistical analysis as of 19:50 on 4 May. I'll update again if and when more people answer the poll!
People who think the story was realistic include 43% of the women who are attracted to women, 67% of the heterosexual men, 33% of the other humans and 50% of the penguins.
No women who are attracted to women, no straight men, and no penguins thought the story was purely pandering to fanboys. 28% of the other humans thought it was.
(Everybody else went for the 'neither' option.).

By now, just about everyone in the country is aware of the federal deficit problem, but you should know that there is another financial crisis looming involving state and local governments.
It has gotten much less attention because each state has a slightly different story. But in the two years, since the "great recession" wrecked their economies and shriveled their income, the states have collectively spent nearly a half a trillion dollars more than they collected in taxes. There is also a trillion dollar hole iln their public pension funds.
The states have been getting by on billions of dollars in federal stimulus funds, but the day of reckoning is at hand. The debt crisis is already making Wall Street nervous, and some believe that it could derail the recovery, cost a million public employees their jobs and require another big bailout package that no one in Washington wants to talk about.
The Next Financial Meltdown
The day of reckoning is at hand. Steve Kroft tells us what we need to know about the looming financial crisis that almost no one is talking about.
Full Segment: The Day of Reckoning
Extra: New York State's Budget Woes
Extra: How It Got So Bad
Extra: Can NJ's Finances Be Fixed?
"The most alarming thing about the state issue is the level of complacency," Meredith Whitney, one of the most respected financial analysts on Wall Street and one of the most influential women in American business, told correspondent Steve Kroft
Whitney made her reputation by warning that the big banks were in big trouble long before the 2008 collapse. Now, she's warning about a financial meltdown in state and local governments.
"It has tentacles as wide as anything I've seen. I think next to housing this is the single most important issue in the United States, and certainly the largest threat to the U.S. economy," she told Kroft.
Asked why people aren't paying attention, Whitney said, "'Cause they don't pay attention until they have to."
Whitney says it's time to start.
California, which faces a $19 billion budget deficit next year, has a credit rating approaching junk status. It now spends more money on public employee pensions than it does on the state university system, which had to increase its tuition by 32 percent.
Arizona is so desperate it sold off the state capitol, Supreme Court building and legislative chambers to a group of investors and now leases the buildings from their new owner. The state also eliminated Medicaid funding for most organ transplants.
Then there's New Jersey. It has the highest taxes in the country, a $10 billion deficit and a depressed economy when first-year Governor Chris Christie took office. But after looking at the books, he decided to walk away from a long-planned and much-needed project with New York and the federal government to build a rail tunnel into Manhattan. It would have helped the economy and given employment to 6,000 construction workers.
Gov. Christie acknowledged that's a lot of jobs. "I canceled it. I mean, listen, the bottom line is I don't have the money. And you know what? I can't pay people for those jobs if I don't have the money to pay them. Where am I getting the money? I don't have it. I literally don't have it."
Asked if this is going on all over the country, Christie told Kroft, "Yes. Of course it is. It's not like you can avoid it forever, 'cause it's here now. And we all know it's here. And the federal government doesn't have the money to paper over it anymore, either, for the states. The day of reckoning has arrived. That's it. And it's gonna arrive everywhere. Timing will vary a little bit, depending upon which state you're in, but it's comin'."
And nowhere has the reckoning been as bad as it is in Illinois, a state that spends twice much as it collects in taxes and is unable to pay its bills.

Dina & Eddie Engelbrecht
I was introduced to the business in 2010. At that time I was a full time mom with 4 boys. My boys were ages 3, 4, 8 and 9 years old. I loved the fact that I could be with my boys all the time, although I felt I could do more with my time and talents.
My husband wanted me to start a Guest House, but I did not want to because of the long hours that go into that business, and it would rob me of too much time with my kids.
I went to a Nu Skin presentation and just loved the science behind the company, products and the Bio-photonic scanner.
My dream in the beginning was just to be able to buy the best supplements for my children and my family. I also wanted to be financially independent and to have time and money freedom.
My biggest motivation is to help other mother's achieve financial freedom. Nu Skin has transformed my life in the sense that I have financial freedom because of re-occurring income. My husband and my children are healthy. I have seen this business transform so many other families' lives: financially and in their health.
My most memorable moment with Nu Skin was with one of our Success Trips in Morocco! Hundreds of Nu Skinners out in the desert with 5-star treatment and wining and dining! Fireworks in that star-lit night sky!
Goals are extremely important, because this is what keeps me and my team on track when times get tough. Our goals are all different, and that is why it is so important to find out what each of my Executives' own goals are. This makes achieving their goals possible. Putting goals in writing makes them concrete and we can reflect back on them. It helps us to keep our focus on what we set out to achieve.
Keeping my goal in focus daily was easy because I absolutely LOVE what I do! I love seeing families' lives changed for the better! I always say, "How can I change the world? One family at a time".
Challenges are part of life. I had two major setbacks in my past 7 years, when quitting seemed to be an option. Both times, perseverance and the deep desire within me to not give up helped me not to quit. Also the sincere support that I had from my upline Nicolas van Rensburg, was one of the anchors that kept me going when times were tough.
I always did my utmost best to attend any Nu Skin events or meetings. Living far away from the big cities where the Nu Skin meetings were held, made this a bigger challenge for me. But I believe in the end this was my saving grace. After one such event I went home determined to start weekly meetings with the "Magic Show" being one of the focus points. This led to new people attending, which led to new recruits which eventually spiraled into the amazing group of enthusiastic leaders we are today. People have always been my passion, and this has just grown and grown. The Lord has truly blessed my business and given me the most amazing team of people to work with. We work hard, we laugh together, we cry together and support each other. I believe people have the need to belong, and we have the perfect vehicle to fulfill this need. I absolutely love what I do, and the financial freedom is life changing. I am truly thankful to the Lord for this opportunity and will always be grateful to Nu Skin for changing my life for the better.
I am ever grateful to my husband who has supported me all the way! He has always believed in me, and seen the ability this company has to enrich people's lives.

Samsung's getting into direct retail with a bang. Today, the company announced plans to partner with Best Buy to open 1400 so-called ' Experience Shops,' which are Samsung mini-stores set up within existing Best Buy locations.
Samsung expects to have 900 of these store-within-a-store spots set up by May, where the company will be showcasing its range of smartphones, tablets, laptops, cameras and accessories.
Six pilot Samsung Experience Shop have been operating at Best Buys since mid-February, and the expansion was anticipated by reports last week. The Samsung shop areas inside Best Buy will vary in size with the largest set to be around 460 square feet, the companies said. While only Samsung products will be front-and-center in the Experience Shops, Best Buy will also continue to sell Samsung devices alongside offerings from other manufacturers in the store's normal mobile sections.
This store-within-a-store concept at Best Buy isn't new. The retailer also carries dedicated Apple kiosks where people can try out iPads, iMacs and MacBooks. Apple has kiosks in 740 Best Buy stores, or roughly half as many as Samsung will be located within. Apple, however, has its own network of more than 400 stores around the world, where the iPhone maker earns more money per square foot than any other retailer.
Samsung's Best Buy shops will focus on mobile devices—particularly smartphones and tablets—and the initiative appears to be timed with the launch of the Galaxy S4 smartphone. Given the plethora of new features Samsung packed into its phone, Samsung needs this sort of presence to explain how they all work together.
The dedicated Samsung stores inside Best Buys will also have so called 'Experience Consultants' who will be on hand alongside Best Buy blue shirt sales associates for product demos, account set-ups, and warranty registrations. More importantly, they will help customers buy and activate their Samsung smartphones on the carrier of their choice before leaving the store.
Manufacturers bet big on retail
For Best Buy, having these Samsung stores could be a win, as more experienced and helpful sales reps would give it an edge over online retailers like Amazon or rivals Wal-Mart and Target.
Samsung's store-within-a-store approach gives it a toehold in retail while mitigating some of retail's huge financial risks, which bit other electronics manufacturers five years ago when the likes of Sony and Nokia opened flagship stores, only to shutter most of them shortly thereafter.
It also gives the Korean company an edge over rival smartphone manufacturers such as HTC, BlackBerry, and Motorola, none of which have such a strong, dedicated retail presence.
That could change as time goes on, however. The allure of direct retail sales seems to be swaying electronic manufacturers into physical shops yet again. In addition to Apple's widespread presence, Sony still has 22 stores in the U.S., and Microsoft has opened 31 stores selling Windows software, computers, and phones since 2009. Microsoft also bolstered its retail ranks by opening another 30 pop-up stores around the country to help push the launch of Windows 8 and the Surface tablet line.

MetalCenter is a metals processor and distributor of commercial aluminum, aerospace aluminum and stainless steel located in the Southern California area. MetalCenter is a division of Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. (NYSE:RS), one of the largest metals service center companies in the United States, and is an ISO 9001:2015 (view document) certified facility.
MetalCenter - History
The roots of MetalCenter were founded in 1980, when the non-ferrous operations of the Reliance Steel Company were moved to Cerritos, California and called Reliance MetalCenter. At the time, the 75,000 square foot facility had just one leveling line and one shear. The division specialized in just commercial aluminum and stainless flat-rolled products. In 1981 Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. made two acquisitions that were combined with Reliance MetalCenter - Cerritos. The first was West Metals in 1981 and the second was Circle Metals in 1983. The combination of these companies gave Reliance MetalCenter - Cerritos additional depth, increased the customer base and added leveling capacity, as well as an entry into the slitting business. By 1984 sales for Reliance MetalCenter - Cerritos had doubled. In 1986 the company name changed to MetalCenter and in 1990 the division moved to a state-of-the-art 142,000 square foot facility in Santa Fe Springs, California. Then in 1993 Eureka Metals was acquired which specialized in aerospace aluminum products.
MetalCenter - Today
Today, this division is widely recognized as a leader in the aluminum and stainless product arena. Its diverse product depth, processing capabilities and superior quality are unmatched in this metals segment of the industry.

Another layout inspired by sketch - same as these 2 layouts: (Ready, Set, Go! & Corn). The extra challenge this time was Birthday...
I immediately started to look for birthday pictures, and found few.
This picture was taken on July 2008 - Mor was having her 2nd birthday at the kindergarten.
This layout was made (again) using the counterfeit kit - and I'm so pleased I persist using the kit and trying to maximize the scraps. Other layouts: Nice To Meet, Kite, Twist Car - and the 2 above (Ready, Set, Go! & Corn)).
This is the sketch:
What do you think?
Would LOVE to read your comments :-)

"For this reason, A Companion to JamesMadison and James Monroe should find a home in every academic library in theUnited States." (Journal of American History, 5 November 2013)
"Leibiger's volume manages to be at once authoritative and innovative. It brings together a remarkable roster of experts to present a trove of original, often pathbreaking essays on our fourth and fifth presidents. The juxtaposition of Madison and Monroe¯neighbors, colleagues, sometime rivals¯is a canny editorial choice, destabilizing old assumptions and providing unexpected insights into the founding era."
– Robert P. Forbes, University of Connecticut
"These finely-crafted essays can be read either as two complete biographies or as thirty-two beacons illuminating the political thought and private and public lives of America's fourth and fifth presidents."
– John Kaminski, University of Wisconsin
"This superbly edited collection of essays by noted scholars provides state-of-the-art assessments that illuminate their topics, make original arguments, and will become the starting point for future work."

I want to say that maybe (probably) the word 'layer' is not the correct one, but I believe it gives the correct idea of what I want to do.
I am using a SurfaceView wich implements SurfaceHolder.Callback.
I am working on a canvas. I am drawing a quite complex set of points. I have the canvas translated, rotated and scaled (translateX and translateY are variable that changes when the user interacts with the canvas):
canvas.translate(0, 0);
canvas.translate(translateX, translateY);
canvas.scale(scaleX, scaleY);
My next step is to add text and images on top of this canvas. Both the text and the images should not be scaled nor rotated, only translated (they should follow the canvas).
For this reason I was thinking about having some sort of 'layer' or something similar transparent which only follows the canvas movements and does not change on zoom in or zoom out or on rotation [think them as some sort of UI which stay over the whole canvas].
Here is a snippet:
@Override public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) { try{ pt.setColor(Color.BLACK); canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE); canvas.drawText("HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO", x, y, pt); pt.setAntiAlias(true); canvas.save(); canvas.rotate(-90, 0, 0); canvas.drawText("HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO", x1, y1, pt); canvas.restore(); } catch(Exception e) {} }
I have been wasting a lot of time here lately.
I could fix this by finding the way of converting my cartesian-like points into pixel coordinates. I have figure out that it should be like this:
Cartesian points: X, Y
Pixel Points: X, MaxValueGraph - Y
The problem is that I cant find the way to get the maxValue. I tried to use getHeight() but nothing.
I find it ridiculous that it is not possible to rotate a text/image directly. The only way I found so far is to rotate the whole canvas; seems legit...
Thanks in advance.
