Dermoplast spray drug information
This article is about dermoplast spray drug information for dummies like me, don't read from drug.com or Wikipedia, you won't understand a single paragraph. Those website don't go straight to the point, they make something simple and make it sounds too complicated.
In this article I'm going to tell you everything I know about dermoplast, I'm not going to writes a 5000 words article like Wikipedia, this will be short and simple. Maybe 500 words or shorts.
What is dermoplast?
Dermoplast is a pain relieving spray that may help in any type of skin irritation, such as itchiness, after piercing, after having a tattoo, for perineal tear, for labial tear, for episiotomy, after labia plasty surgery, c section stitches, vaginal tear, circumcision, diaper rash, after waxing, genital herpes and a lot more.
Dermoplast is best for minor cuts, minor burns, minor injuries, minor wounds, stitches, after surgery and so many more, it numbs the pains within seconds after spraying it on yourself.
How safe is this spray?
100% percent safe, hospitals are giving this for free to women after having a baby to use it on their vaginas to heal the stitches faster after surgery.
If the doctors and hospitals are giving it for free to women to use it on their private parts that tells you how safe it is. This product was approved by the FDA to be used on sensitive areas as well.
Some male's uses this after circumcision to ease the penis pains and also protect it from bacteria's that may delay the healing process.
Can you use this on your baby?
Yes you can, the FDA also approved this spray to be used by children under the age of two, even a 9 month old have a right to use this spray for any type of rash.
Some women even use this on their toddlers if they develop diaper rash. And hospitals approved that as well.
Do you like my dermoplast spray drug information? If yes then carry on reading, I have some few points I want to tell you about.
What is the difference between the blue spray and the red spray?
Not much, both sprays can be used for the same thing, but using the red dermoplast for too sensitive areas like on a vagina or penis is never recommended, you need to use the blue spray for such situations.
The blue spray
The blue dermoplast spray is the original formula of dermoplast, it is the first spray they created, and it can be used for numbing pains in any part of the body, except eyes or mouth.
The red spray
This is the second version of dermoplast, some people call it the upgraded version, and since it a second spray this spray is very strong, it stronger then the blue spray.
The red dermoplast spray was added with some new ingredients to improve dermoplast, these ingredients are for making the healing process much faster and also protect your skin or wounds from any bacterial that may delay your healing process.
Which spray should you use?
It depends on what do you want to use it for, read what Dr. Durbany had to say about whether to use the blue one or the red one.
Dr. Durbany
Well, we only recommend using the blue spray if you want to use dermoplast for sensitive areas like on vagina, penis, lager wounds and huge scars. We don't recommend using the red spray for sensitive areas because it much stronger and it stings very hard and sometimes it makes the pain worse by burning it.
Use the red spray only for minor cut, buns, skin itchiness, skin irritations, bee sting, jelly fish sting and stuff like that.
What is in dermoplast?
There is something called "Benzocaine" this is what numb the pain, according to drug.com , benzocaine is used to reduce pains and discomfort caused by skin irritations, sore throat, sunburn and stuff like that.
What are some other ingredients beside benzocaine in dermoplast?
Well i don't know, dermoplast won't say. Why? Because it their secret recipe. If they tell people than their competitors will know and use that against them.
I hope you liked my dermoplast spray drug information, if you would like to know more about dermoplast then go to our Dermoplast frequently asked questions and I'm positive that all the info you may need about dermoplast is there. If it not then contact us and we will answer you within 8 hours.

The Russian hackers indicted by the US special prosecutor in July have spent years trying to steal the private correspondence of some of the world's most senior Christian Orthodox figures, The Associated Press (AP) has found, illustrating the high stakes as Kiev and Moscow wrestle over the religious future of Ukraine.
The targets included top aides to Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, who often is described as the first among equals of the world's Eastern Orthodox Christian leaders.
The Istanbul-based patriarch is mulling whether to accept a Ukrainian bid to tear that country's church from its association with Russia, a potential split fueled by the armed conflict between Ukrainian military forces and Russia-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine.
The AP's evidence comes from a hit list of 4,700 e-mail addresses supplied last year by Secureworks, a subsidiary of Dell Technologies.
The AP has been mining the data for months, uncovering how a group of Russian hackers widely known as Fancy Bear tried to break into the e-mails of US Democrats, defense contractors, intelligence workers, international journalists and even US military wives.
In July, as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 US election, a US grand jury identified 12 Russian intelligence agents as being behind the group's hack-and-leak assault against former US secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign.
The targeting of high-profile religious figures demonstrates the wide net cast by the cyberspies.
Bartholomew claims the exclusive right to grant a "Tomos of Autocephaly," or full ecclesiastic independence, sought by the Ukrainians.
It would be a momentous step, splitting the world's largest Eastern Orthodox denomination and severely eroding the power and prestige of the Moscow Patriarchate, which has positioned itself as leading player within the global Orthodox community.
"If something like this will take place on their doorstep, it would be a huge blow to the claims of Moscow's transnational role," said Vasilios Makrides, a specialist in Orthodox Christianity at the University of Erfurt in Germany. "It's something I don't think they will accept."
The Kremlin is scrambling to help Moscow's Patriarch Kirill retain his traditional role as the head of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and "the more they know, the better it is for them," Makrides said.
The Russian Orthodox Church said it had no information about the hacking and declined to comment.
Russian officials referred the AP to previous denials by the Kremlin that it has anything to do with Fancy Bear, despite a growing body of evidence to the contrary.
Ukraine is lobbying hard for a religious divorce from Russia and some observers have said the issue could be decided as soon as this month.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in April flew to Istanbul in an effort to convince the patriarch to agree to a split, which he has described as "a matter of our independence and our national security."
Kirill last week flew to Turkey in a last-ditch bid to prevent it.
Hilarion Alfeyev, Kirill's representative abroad, has said that granting the Tomos could lead to the biggest Christian schism since 1054, when Catholic and Orthodox believers parted ways.
"If such a thing happens, Orthodox unity will be buried," Alfeyev said.

Sound Healing is one of the oldest forms of healing known to mankind and has been used the world over to attune, invoke, and transform consciousness. Sound produces powerful vibrations and, as we are vibrational beings by nature, our very structure is transformed by its movement. Every organ, bone and cell in our body has a resonant frequency and when our bodies feel sluggish, uninspired or unhealthy, sound can reset and re-tune these subtle energy fields. Singing bowls create both pure tones and harmonic overtones which have the ability to shift brain waves, enhancing relaxation, creativity and healing.

Sound Healing Can Produce:
• Relief from stress and anxiety
• Enhanced creativity
• Improved concentration
• Brain hemisphere balancing
• Restoration of equilibrium in the endocrine system (stimulation of the pituitary gland)
• Relief of sinus congestion and headaches
• Induction of Theta brainwave activity or deep meditation
• Movement of the cerebrospinal fluid
• Chakra and aura balancing and cleaning (and corresponding organs and glands)
• Heightened access to intuition and higher consciousness
• Space Clearing

This week we continued our series in the book of Proverbs by looking at what the book of Wisdom says about making plans for the future. Inherent in any discussion about making plans is a discussion on the sovereignty of God; the two topics can go somewhat hand in hand. It helps first to just know this: God is sovereign. He is in complete control. He is all-powerful. He knows everything; has known everything and will continue to know everything; He can do anything, and He is everywhere all the time (Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent).
We all think about the future in one way or another and make plans of some sort. The thing is, none of us have any ability whatsoever to ensure that anything we plan will actually go as planned! But Proverbs says that God's purpose always prevails. There is a comfort in knowing that in spite of the fact that our plans fail and our circumstances change almost constantly, God always has a plan. His plan can never be thwarted and He is establishing our steps. We DO come to forks in the road where we have to make decisions and plans for the future. The challenge then is to make WISE decisions and WISE plans. Ultimately, it comes down to this: Wise planning starts with wise living and wise living starts with a relationship with the One who is wise.
Jesus calls us to follow him and be his disciples. That means learning from Him and becoming like him. He also calls us to trust him and make everything we do in life first and foremost about him! It means making decisions the way he would make them; thinking about things the way he would think about them; treating people the way he would treat them; trusting him for everything that either happens or doesn't happen in our lives. It starts with the small things. This is how we live wisely and ultimately is how we become people who make wise plans – plans that the Lord will establish.
It can be hard to trust God completely for everything because we usually think that no one can make better decisions for us than we can. But God is trustworthy because not only is He sovereign, He is also good and He is working all things together for OUR good.
Questions for going deeper:
- There is a huge emphasis in the Bible on remembering the things that God has done for us. In what ways can you look back at your life to this point and see how God has brought you to the place you are now?
- What things can you do each day to have a deeper relationship with Jesus and become more like him?
- How should your plans for the next week/yeah/5 years/10 years change in light of the fact that God is sovereign and Good and, so, trustworthy.

Setlist for the week was:

SUBWAYS ARE FOR SLEEPING at The York Theater (Musicals in Mufti) - New York City Article
SUBWAYS ARE FOR SLEEPING at The York Theater (Musicals in Mufti) Follow @nyccitiview
"Subways Are for Sleeping": A Musical by Jule Styne, Betty Comden, and Adolph Green
The York Theater Company at St. Peter's
619 Lexington Avenue, 935-5820,
through March 4
Not exactly a cult show, but one that musical theater geeks have been inordinately curious about ever since it closed (following 205 performances) in 1962. It turns out that Subways is far from a bad show, but a strangely inappropriate one - in which the cheerfulness and earnestly optimistic nature of both the music and the book are almost diametrically opposed to the actual subject matter, which is a tale of the homeless in New York. You could say that, well before La Cage Aux Faux, this is the first musical about an alternative lifestyle: those who choose to live off the grid. The show was inspired by a well-received book of the same title from 1957, and though it was composer Jule Styne's idea, the whole production bears the stylistic signature of book and lyric writers Betty Comden and Adolph Green. They had already written four successful shows about New York, two with Leonard Bernstein (On the Town and Wonderful Town) and, more recently, two with Styne (Bells are Ringing and Do-Re-Mi) and were clearly determined to come up with a decidedly different kind of Metrocentric musical.
Here's the final result: everything is great about Subways Are for Sleeping except the basic idea of the show itself. If you can somehow get beyond that - the overall premise of the whole thing - Subways is a show for seeing, especially for the outstanding score by Styne, Comden, and Green. Some numbers, like its best known song, "Comes Once in a Lifetime" (which soon entered the repertoires of both Tony Bennett and Judy Garland), are essentially traditional upbeat show tunes. Other numbers, however, such as "Swing Your Projects" and "I Was a Shoo-In," are more like fully-developed musical monologues, in a way that presages more contemporary work by Jason Robert Brown, Adam Guettel, Richard Maltby and David Shire. Another good reason to catch this "Musicals in Mufti" production is that no one is likely to ever stage this show again, and the York's cast, especially three-named leads Eric William Morris and Alyse Alan Louis, is excellent.

There are literally hundreds of website building tools out there. Most of them are complicated, and most of them are big. Those that aren't don't seem to work as well. What I needed was something that was standards compliant, totally free, wholly Java based and small enough to run on a commercial webserver for not too much money. The list quickly narrowed to zero and got filled instead with things that looked like they were free, but weren't.
'Free' Software Honeypots
There are lots of free Content Management Systems and portal products out there but they are not really free. They are just a free front end to a basically commercial product. They offer something quite fancy for nothing, but once you start to use it you realise that the free version doesn't have all the features you want, and for that you have to pay. Or they use a proprietary plugin architecture, which is not standards compliant. Once you develop your plugin or portlet for that platform, you are locked in. Sooner or later you need support or something more or they start charging and wham! you are caught in the trap. Or the company goes out of business, or decides to change everything overnight and your project is wrecked. The naïve young programmers fall for this every time, but us old mice have been caught by the tail once too often.
Jetspeed 2
I wanted something that was really truly 100% free, and I eventually found Jetspeed 2. It's not as fancy as some other portal offerings but it doesn't have any strings attached. I don't know at this point if it is really right for my needs but it is based on Pluto, which is the reference implementation of JSR 286, the Portlets 2 standard. Hardly any commercial products adhere to this yet, but Jetspeed does. There's no hidden commercial product behind it, and it's not too complicated. Best of all it seems to run (not sure yet) in 64MB of VM memory, so it might be deployable on a commercial webhosting site. My only worry is whether users will be able to easily update HTML type content. But to find out I have to use it first. The old Catch-22.
So this blog is really a document for me and for anyone else who wants to know how to set up their own first class customisation of Jetspeed. That's the ambition anyway. Let's see if we get there. Heh heh. :-)

Caption for Items 1 and 2: Relationships Between Soil Moisture and Rainfall
Item 1: Soil moisture plays an important role in summer rainfall, particularly in transition zones between very wet and very dry climates. The warm, moist air rises until it encounters colder air high above the Earth's surface, leading to afternoon rainshowers. The water remains in the ground through the cool night, and the cycle repeats the next day.
Item 2: Dry soil has the opposite effect on rainfall. As the temperature rises during the day, the air near the Earth's surface heats up and rises, but does not contain enough moisture to form rainclouds. As each day passes more moisture is removed from the ground, enhancing the effect. Credit: Earth Observatory, animations courtesy Susan Byrne, NASA GSFC

The bars in the insets show the individual results for each of the 12 climate models, called Atmospheric General Circulation Models (AGCMs), averaged over the indicated regions. According to the insets, the models clearly do not show perfect agreement in the "strength" of the hot spots. Still, many independent models place the hot spots in the same place. The results pertain to Northern Hemisphere summer months, June, July and August. Red areas show the highest connection between soil moisture and rainfall.

August 19, 2004 - (date of web publication)
While the Earth is moistened by rainfall, scientists
believe that the water in soil can, in turn, influence
rainfall both regionally and globally. Forecasters, water
resource managers and farmers may benefit once this
connection is better understood.
A NASA researcher led an effort that used a dozen computer
models to locate "hot spots" around the world where soil
moisture may strongly affect rainfall during northern
hemisphere summertime. The results appear in the August 20
issue of Science Magazine.
The "hot spots" appear in the central plains of North
America, the Sahel, equatorial Africa, and India. Less
intense hot spots show up in South America, central Asia and
China. These hot spots are, in a sense, analogous to ocean
areas where sea surface temperatures strongly affect climate
and weather, the most famous example being in the eastern
tropical Pacific, where El Ninos occur.
Item 3
"The study arguably provides the best estimate ever of the
areas where soil moisture changes can affect rainfall," said
Randal Koster, a researcher at NASA's Goddard Space Flight
Center in Greenbelt, Md. Koster led the international
computer modeling effort in collaboration with Paul Dirmeyer
and Zhichang Guo of the Center for Ocean Land Atmosphere
Studies, Calverton, Md.
In the Global Land-Atmosphere Coupling Experiment (GLACE),
Koster and colleagues duplicated the same experiment using 12
different computer models from around the world. With each
model researchers compared the rainfall behavior in two sets
of simulations: one in which the soil moisture differed
between the simulations, and one in which all simulations saw
the same soil moisture. Any increase in rainfall agreement in
the second set of simulations shows an impact of soil
moisture on the rainfall.
Although the model results differed, the simulations also
shared certain common features. By averaging together all the
findings, the researchers identified the common features, or
"hot spots" where soil moisture influences rainfall the most.
Item 4
Click on image to enlarge.
Click here for higher resolution image.
If soil moisture is assumed to affect rain locally, the hot
spots tell researchers who study land and atmosphere
interactions where to focus their measurements. NASA helps in
the design of satellites and instruments to measure soil
moisture. Currently, the Advanced Microwave Scanning
Radiometer for EOS on NASA's Aqua satellite measures the
moisture in surface soil down to a depth of a few
centimeters. In 2009, NASA plans to launch the Hydrosphere
State (HYDROS) mission that will provide the first global
view of the Earth's changing soil moisture down to 5
However, even if researchers could observe global soil
moisture levels at depths greater than a few centimeters, it
would be very hard to tell from the data alone how this
moisture contributes to precipitation. There are too many
factors involved. "Computer models are notorious for their
limitations. Still, given the overwhelming difficulty of
finding the hot spots through direct measurement, our study
provides the next best thing: a multi-model estimate of their
locations," Koster said.
Item 5
In general, the hot spots have one thing in common: they
occur in transition zones between wet and dry regions. This
was expected. In wet climates, the Sun's energy and
cloudiness play a bigger role in determining evaporation
rates than soil moisture. In dry climates, the limited water
leads to limited evaporation rates, that are simply too small
to have a large impact on the atmosphere. The fact that
satellites cannot measure soil moisture through very dense
vegetation is therefore less of a problem. Dense vegetation
appears in wet regions, where the hot spots are typically not
Understanding soil moisture levels and their connection to
precipitation has important implications. It may improve
seasonal forecasting of rainfall vital to water managers, as
well as improve the accuracy of short-term weather forecasts.
Interest in the study is therefore high at national weather
centers, like the National Centers for Environmental
Prediction (NCEP), Camp Springs, Md.
"At NCEP, we are working on ways to specify soil moisture
accurately, in order to take advantage of the type of
connections examined in GLACE," said co-author Kenneth
Mitchell of NCEP. NCEP's soil moisture estimation project,
known as the Land Data Assimilation System, is run in
collaboration with scientists at NASA. Institutions from the
United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, and
Australia each funded use of their own model.

Last night's episode of Riverdale was truly epic. Not only did Molly Ringwald and Luke Perry remind us why they ruled the '80s and '90s (more on that in a second), but Betty declared her love for Jughead and we got our biggest clue yet about Jason Blossom's killer. Is your head spinning? Good, because things are about to get even more mind-blowing.
At a recent panel at the Paley Center for Media, creator and executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa revealed that the killer has been planned from almost the beginning. "It was really early on," he revealed to the sold-out audience. "Three weeks into the writers' room, we pitched [the outline] for season one. [Studio executives] said you can't go into the season without telling the writers who killed Jason. We had three possible suspects, and one of those people who we talked about is the killer."
The Riverdale cast, however, didn't find out until they sat down at the table read for episode 12 (which airs on May 4). On the red carpet, Marisol Nichols (Hermoine Lodge) told us she couldn't believe who it was at first. "I didn't see it coming," she said. "But then in hindsight, I went, 'Oh! OK…' Then I had to re-read the script again because when we do reveal it, it goes through so many twists and turns. I was like, 'OK, is this the killer? Are we sure now?' It's really good. Juicy!"
Nichols' on-screen daughter, Camila Mendes (Veronica Lodge) had a similar reaction: "I was terrified and shocked! But I had expected it in some way. We all had our suspicions. We'd all considered this person before, but we didn't know for sure because it's Riverdale. Anyone could have done it. When I read it for the first time, it made sense, but it was still shocking. It ties everything together."
Of course, in last night's Riverdale, most of the town is led to believe that it's Jughead's father, FP Jones, who's the culprit. But by the end of the episode, Archie and Veronica realize their best friend's dad was framed. So, did the episode foreshadow the real killer? "I don't think people will figure it out just yet," K.J. Apa (Archie Andrews) told us. "I really don't think so." Apa's co-star, Madelaine Petsch (Cheryl Blossom) thinks otherwise. "A lot is foreshadowed," she said. "A lot."
Surprisingly, Apa is ready for the story to wrap up, even though it was fun to guess whodunit. "I don't even really care about the Jason Blossom murder anymore because something happens in our very last episode that is the craziest, most mind-blowing thing," he teased. "It involves Archie…"
But before we get ahead of ourselves and try to figure out what might happen to Archie, the question still remains: Who killed Jason Blossom? Betty's parents—Hal and Alice Cooper—seem to have one of the biggest motives, considering their daughter Polly was in an unhealthy relationship with Jason. "Even if she is the killer, I know there would be a way to examine that and explore it and find out why," Madchen Amick (Alice Cooper) explained. "I don't put it past her to have a very gut reaction and taking somebody out. By the end of season one we're going to find out that there's an even deeper, darker secret to the Blossoms and the Coopers, and it complicates things even more."
Speaking of dark secrets, the Blossom mansion continues to put Disneyland's Haunted House to shame now that we've seen Clifford Blossom's eerie collection of red wigs. "Wasn't that insane?!" Madelaine Petsch said. "I wasn't allowed to touch them because the props department is very particular about them, but we had to mention it because the wigs just got more and more extreme as the episodes went on. Like, 'There's no way he can grow hair like that!' We just had to comment on it, and I'm so happy we did. Honestly, it was my favorite scene of any part of the show."
In real life, Petsch is having a good time bonding with her fake family. "Nathalie [Boltt] plays my mother and is so funny and super hippy-dippy," she said. "She's the complete opposite of Penelope Blossom and super wild and care-free. And Barclay [Hope], who plays my dad, Clifford, is very straight-laced. They are both so sweet and really great actors to work with."
Speaking of great actors—if you grew up a fan of 90210 or John Hughes movies, then there was nothing better than seeing Luke Perry and Molly Ringwald walk arm-and-arm into Riverdale High's school dance. For Aguirre-Sacasa, there was so much material to work with that he had to leave some of the best lines on the cutting room floor. "It's so funny because in that sequence when they walk in together, there were even more slightly meta lines," he told us. "At one point Molly says, 'Gosh, do you remember what it was like to be in high school? Saturday detention? People forgetting your birthday?' I loved that! The episode [just started] to run too long. We'll have to save it for the DVD."
Of course, one priority in the episode was exploring the deepening romance between Jughead and Betty, with Betty telling her mom that she loves him. But is Betty really in love with Jughead or is it more of a loving friendship? "I'm not too familiar if they are too distinct," Cole Sprouse (Jughead Jones) said. "I think it is genuine. The end of the season deals with that quite a bit. I think that's also one of the discussions that in talking to the writers is going to be a focus. We're also directly confronting the age-old love triangle of the Archie Comics, which of course is going to reappear and complicate quite a bit."
According to Lili Reinhart (Betty Cooper), there's plenty to root for. "I think she's in love with him," she said. "She says, 'I love Jughead,' not 'I'm in love with Jughead,' and I think there's definitely a difference between those two things. But I do think that at that point in time, she's falling in love. I really love them together, I really do. Some people either love them together or hate them together, but they make each other happy, you can't deny that."
So what is it about these two beautifully complicated souls that have set fans into a frenzy? "They have a connection, unlike all the other characters where their darkness kind of intertwines, and that's beautiful," Reinhart explained. "When they can still love each other through the darkness, that's amazing. How he kisses her hand was actually my idea. I was like, 'That just shows the love. When you show someone such a vulnerable side of yourself, when they physically can kiss it to show you they love every part of you, that is love.'"

'Bout them Germans...
Hi Ulrich, I just finished reading a review of Michael Lewis's book "Boomerang," which discusses the current financial crisis country to country. The reviewer made this comment, which for me rang very true, admittedly based on my very short stay of two years in the country:
"There was no credit boom in Germany," an official told Lewis. "Real estate prices were completely flat. There was no borrowing for consumption. Because this behavior is totally unacceptable in Germany."
I don't know if you can address the prices of real estate to verify the unnamed official's accuracy, but what do you think about the claim that "borrowing for consumption" is totally "unacceptable." My personal experience is that Lewis got this right, and this is one very good reason the Germans continue to do well while all around them are in despair.
Loved your latest drawing. Heika

I did not post anything about the current Euro crisis b/c I do not understand the technicalities sufficiently enough to feel comfortable making any comments. But the "German national character" is another matter. So, @Heika, let me make a few comments regarding your question.
I have to take the the article's claim that there was no real estate bubble in Germany at its face value. I have no knowledge to the contrary, except that real estate prices have increased in Germany over the years--I do not know to which extent and what the consequences were. But why was there no bubble?
My take is that Germans are extremely risk-averse. I wanted to say that I know nobody who went personally bankrupt because of high-risk speculation, but that is not entirely true: I know of some people who fell victim to a Ponzi scheme, but they seem to be rare exceptions.
This aversion to risk has its benefits, as the crisis in other countries shows, but it also has a downside: a lack of initiative when it comes to planning your own life. It is far less common for Germans to found their own company than it is for instance in the US. In the overwhelming majority of cases, Germans expect to be employed by established enterprises, public or private. One of my brothers, who did found his own, now mid-sized and hugely successful, company is the exception. Imagine where Germany would be with just a little bit more daring and less fear of failure on the part of her citizens?

...and I am puzzled, to put it mildly, by the claim that Germans are obsessed with excrement (the reviewer seems to be puzzled, too). Yes, I have seen claims that Germans (and Japanese) are particularly fond of scatological jokes, but I can't even confirm this b/c I find these types of jokes tedious (unless I'm dealing with children, who seem to love them), and I forget them as soon as I hear them.

And here is a take on the same situation from the American right. I consider it an instant classic as an illustration of the big-government paranoia combined with an abysmal ignorance of what is going on in the rest of the world that is characteristic for those people. And do not miss the comments--they top the piece itself, difficult as it may seem!

Well I am not alone in my interest in the European situation as described by Michael Lewis, clearly this SNL skit was based on Lewis's "analysis," and again the Germans are described as being content with so little--is it half a cup of milk and a sausage? --that they never got caught up in the credit crisis. I hope you can see it here
- November 24, 2011 at 8:48 AM
Banal as Lewis's analysis sounds--it's a bunch of national stereotypes--I think he is on to something. I just read Ann Enright's The Forgotten Waltz and she describes in fiction the world Lewis also references, an Irish economic crisis not fueled by the kind of corrupt banking practices that fueled ours, but by the country's astonishment at suddenly being awash in money from buying and selling property. People just didn't know or forgot that even real estate booms end and suddenly there they were with property they couldn't sell and no liquidity.
From my perspective, given how disgusting I find the big banks' behavior in this mess and government's cooperation through deregulation, I prefer the explanation Lewis gives for the Irish-- greed, excess and stupidity-- as opposed to what fueled our current mess, a corrupt banking industry aided and abetted by a Congress that looked the other way, rather than alienate big contributors.
I get mad just thinking about it. On a happier note, I too loved your latest drawing.
If you have any German readers out there--someone used to be living there now I think--I would love to hear what they think about Lewis's explanation.

@Heika: A funny clip, yes. But I have to say that I never met a German who would be happy with "a carton of milk and a sausage"--a beer and a sausage would be more like it.
@Marlene: I'm not blaming the banks--they behave like banks behave--one cannot expect a lion to become a vegetarian on moral grounds. I'm mad about the politicians who allow bankers to call the shots or, as the Germans say, let themselves be chased through the village by bankers. "Too big to fail" is a recipe for disaster--it also flies in the face of everything the free-market apostles have been telling us--but no politician seems to dare to suggest cutting the banks down to size. Well, according to Lewis, Iceland is an exception--they did, in fact, let the banks go broke and are coming out of the crisis with the social fabric intact.

Here's another article that's relevant in the current context. It explains why Germans and other Europeans hardly ever borrow for consumption and why saving rates are so high (around 10% currently, as opposed to 4% in the US, which is in fact an improvement over the 0% prevalent before 2008). I, for one, always pay the full balance of my credit card at the end of the month, i.e. I do not allow the company to hit me with the usurious interest rates they charge for unpaid balances, which makes me a 'deadbeat' in the words of one credit card executive. Once in a while, I leave a balance for one month or so, but never for more than two months, never in my life! Acquired habits die hard...

I thought you might be interested in an outspoken admirer of Germany, the Irish novelist, Colm Toibin, writing on the economic crisis in Ireland, specifically mentions the Germans as a model to imitate:
"The EU did not merely pay for roads and other necessary infrastructure in Ireland, it opened the country up to the world around it. The more I found out about contemporary Germany, for example, and the more I travelled there, the more I came to admire it and the more I came to hope that some of its best qualities could come to influence and affect Ireland."

Well, Marlene, our thread certainly bucks current trends. I spent a depressing portion of yesterday looking at one blog after another in which the Germans were bashed--in connection with the current Euro crisis. Even the Germans bash the Germans, or more accurately, their government.
Most of the comments are naive (when they assume that all the problems would be solved if only the Germans would go around and give money to everybody, no strings attached), or self-serving, if not outrageous (like when Greeks or Italians lambast the Germans for not being willing to pay for the mistakes their own governments created), or outright racist (when old stereotypes are being dug out). As I said before, I do not feel confident to go into technical details, which are far more complex than most commentators and bloggers acknowledge. I only know this: There is no 'good' solution--like in the case of the hiker whose hand was caught under a heavy stone in a remote canyon a few years ago: Since he could not call for help, his only options were starve to death or cut his hand off. That's the situation in the Euro zone right now: Whatever will be decided, it will unpalatable for a lot of people.
The Germans strongly believe that it is not fair to ask them to carry the biggest burden when, in fact, they are not at fault (yes, there are conspiracy theories out there that claim it's all a German plot to take over Europe--right: It was the Germans who made the Greeks and Italians live beyond their means--ridiculous). One could say, however, that the Germans are a bit too moralistic about it (I find it interesting in this connection that Merkel is the daughter of a Protestant pastor). Their case can be made on purely technical grounds; i.e. they want to make sure that the money they contribute will actually help solve the crisis and not disappear into a bottomless pit.
Enough for today!

@Ulrich: one thing I have heard is that the North/Western European countries' banks were too willing to lend money to Greece, Italy and Spain, thereby digging the hole deeper and deeper.
The Dutch are very similar to the Germans, and are also in better shape. They don't spend what they don't have. A good piece of news: my two sisters in Holland, who had lost quite a bit of money in a sort of Ponzi scheme, recently were reimbursed. The bank had been required to have insurance for this sort of situation!
- November 30, 2011 at 11:06 PM
- Ulrich said...
mac: Your sisters are lucky that their insurance wasn't swapped with an outfit that became insolvent.
Actually, the Germans ARE living beyond their means, too: National debt now stands at 81% of GDP (it's 64% for the Netherlands) and the last time I checked (two years ago or so), interest payments on the debt was the second largest budget item at 16% (social services at 25% was the highest). Since only 18% of the debt is held inside Germany, those interest payments are for the largest part nothing but a capital export. Reduction of new debt (actually, a balanced budget, but that's just not in the cards right now) should be a top priority, and that is, I think, the reason many Germans (and German economists) are AGAINST the tax cuts decided upon by the governing coalition--imagine!
Just some numbers for comparison's sake: National debt as percentage of GDP: Greece 162%; Italy 120%; Ireland 108%; Portugal 101%; Belgium 97%...

It's time to pack away your pool noodles, dry your swimsuits, speed-read the rest of your beach reads, and pull out your sales fliers. We're going back to school.
Last year, back-to-school shoppers spent over $75 billion, making this time of year the nation's second-busiest shopping season, and parents, teachers, and students are all on the hunt for the best prices.
We all know it's a good idea to compare online and in-store prices to scavenge the best deals. You can save a ton of gas and legwork by doing a quick Google search. The cheaper those pens, pencils, and rulers, the better; with students constantly losing and loaning out these items, stockpiling is a virtue.
For those who prefer to hit the stores, you've probably seen that office supply stores are selling many school supplies for 25 cents, or even a penny. Other retailers like have followed suit with similar sales.
Yet even the best sales won't put school supplies within the reach of our neediest students. And budget cuts in many districts have emptied supply closets. Teachers across the nation spend an average of $1,000 per year to fill in the gaps and provide for their students.
You may have heard about the Oklahoma teacher earlier this year who actually panhandled for school supplies. And a teacher in my home state of Utah is asking that guests to her upcoming wedding, instead of buying gifts, purchase school supplies and clothing items for the more than 100 homeless students at her school.
"I registered for tennis shoes and Converse and backpacks and winter coats," says Copper Hills High School teacher Rickee Stewart. (She's even integrated her idea into the business and finance classes she teaches. Retail students will learn about arranging items in the school's pantry in an appealing way, while finance students will learn about giving to charity on a budget.
There are other ways to help students in need as well. Many organizations and stores are holding school-supply drives. Ask your friends and family members to grab a few extras when they're back-to-school shopping.
But the bottom line is that donations, while helpful, can never make up for what school budgets don't cover—nor should they have to. We must keep advocating for the opportunities that our students deserve, including all the resources and materials that are part of the overall learning experience.
The Every Student Succeeds Act could be a vehicle for finally measuring whether our students have the tools and supplies they need, no matter where they live. The NEA has created this checklist to help you figure out what your schools are doing to support students, and what potential may be there as well. The list covers broad categories such as curriculum and school climate, but you can personalize it for your school and circumstances.
Find out more about ESSA, what it means for our students, and how you can have a voice in it here, and join the NEA edCommunities to share ideas and experiences with educators across the nation.

When the question is "Where do the most beautiful women live", the answer most likely would be "In Russia and Ukraine". Beautiful Slavic girls have always been considered one of the most beautiful. Hot Russian girls with symmetrical faces, nice cheekbones and bright eyes, can easily drive any man mad. Not only the faces are pretty, but also stunning, slim bodies of Russian ladies are mind blowing. Today girls from Russia and Ukraine have conquered the world of fashion as models, and television as world known actresses. Let's see who gets the title Miss Universe this year!
Miss Universe 2013 will be chosen in Moscow, Russia. Prestigious pageant will be held in the concert hall Crocus City Hall. Beauties from all over the world will fly down to Russian capital – Moscow – on the 9th of November.
The first one and so far the only one representative of Russia that won Miss Universe pageant in 2002 was a television presenter Oksana Fedorova.
By the way, in 2005 the pageant Miss Universe was won by Natalie Glebova – a Canadian of Russian origin.
This year an 18 year old beautiful Russian girl Elmira Abdrazakova, who won Miss Russia 2013, will compete for the title.
Donald Trump is very excited to finally have the pageant to take place in Russia: "I'm sure that it will be the biggest and the best Miss Universe contest that we have ever seen."
Today the title of the most beautiful girl in the world belongs to American Olivia Culpo.
This year the pageant will have girls from 90 countries of the world. Up to this moment, the local beauty contests, whose winners will participate in Miss Universe, has already taken place in 42 countries. The latest one was held in the USA on the 16th of June, where a 25 year old Erin Brady of East Hampton was crowned Miss USA 2013.
The rest of the local contests will be held latest in September. Who do you think is going to win this year's Miss Universe?

Apartment Rue Sainte-Anne - 182
"Great location and lovely little apartment to come back to after a day sightseeing - we cooked basic meals in the kitchen most nights and enjoyed our stay here. Tracey" (Australia) July 2014
Apartment Rue Dussoubs - 893
"My stay was great. All was very good: the Apartment, the people were friendly.I played a lot of boule (petanque), and the people there were friendly too.I think I will come back soon. Unfortunately the Josephine Baker swimming pool was out of order (near Bercy). I love the bridges, and the ice cream from Berthillon (Ile St. Louis) is really good. The language course at accord was interesting. The Grévin costs a lot, but it`s worth the money.regards Sabine" (Allemagne) June 2014
"It is my pleasure to write a review of my stay in Paris. I got home late Sunday after a wonderful two week stay in your beautiful city. First of all, I want to thank Marie. She was the person at your agency that I was in contact with and helped me find the apt. at 20 Dussoubs. She was very prompt in her replies and very accommodating with my requests. Because of her, I decided to book with Paris Be a Part of It. Next, the apartment was PERFECT. I could not have asked for anything better. It was comfortable and included amenities that I didn't think were important but ended up to be very much appreciated. It was a pleasure coming 'home' after a long day of sight seeing or shopping! The area was amazing. Not knowing Paris well, I believe that I got lucky in choosing my apt. in the area that I did. There were so many restaurants and shops very close by and the Seine was a short, lovely walk away. For the first few days in Paris, I did not use the metro system and chose to walk everywhere; to les Invalides, Eiffel Tower (on St. Bastille Day), Jadin du Luxembourg and area, Bastille area, etc. I loved walking and found many beautiful parks with interesting events going on (group of young people giving a concert, bocce ball, table tennis, etc.) that I would have missed had I taken the metro. But, there is so much to see and do in Paris one must get from place to place quickly and your metro system is fantastic; so easy to negotiate. I will not list the highlights of my trip as it was all a highlight. I recommend all of the sites listed in any tour book of Paris. I do recommend getting off at a metro stop or two ahead of your destination and walking. You will find hidden treasures. I have no recommendations as to how you could improve your customer service. As far as I am concerned you could teach other agencies how to do business. Thank you for your part in a fantastic Parisian holiday for myself and my daughter. Sincerely, Mary Anne" (Canada) July 2014
Apartment Rue d'Argout - 52
"We had a splendid time in the appartment... every thing was very ok. thanks for very good service. I will recommend this for other people too... Linda & Siren" (Norway)
Apartment Rue Beauregard - 84
"We had a wonderful time in Paris. What we loved was being close to Rue Montorgueil. Every morning it was so enjoyable walking down that street to purchase fruit, cheese, wine, cidre, bread, whatever we needed. The apartment was very cozy and quiet, it had everything a man or woman could want. The metro was very conveniant to the apartment. Also the restauraunts were very good and affordable near the apartment Thank you, Mia and Adam" (USA)
Appartement Rue Richelieu - 967
"Hi, My Parisian stay was great. Thank you very much for your help finding this place for me. It's a good option for short stay in paris. Location is great , it's 15 min walking distance to the louvre And I found at least 4 organic food cafés in neighbourhood. I really enjoyed my stay. For sure I will recommend my friends your agency. Kind regards Natalia" (UK)

When it deals with change management, the design phase of the transformation is crucial. It is therefore important to visualize operations, as well as army generals do with the representation of the operations theater or directors with the storyboard.

Master Esthetician Kathie Conn Boosts Client Confidence And Success Through Improving And Maintaining Healthy Skin.
Businesswoman Kathie Conn makes it her goal to improve her clients' lives by enhancing and beautifying their skin. A master esthetician, Conn is well-versed in the benefits of healthy skin and her clients are reaping the rewards.
Kathie Conn
Kathie Conn, of Skin Sense ~love your face…get a facial! (www.skinsense4u.com) is a master esthetician with a passion for helping clients put their best faces forward.
A noted skin-care expert, Conn, based in Montclair, Virginia, is personally invested in helping clients take good care of their skin. With proper attention and skin care techniques, their natural gifts shine through.
By keeping up with the latest techniques and trends in beauty and skincare, Conn is able to give her clients personalized care, including facials, hair removal, product recommendations, and specialized treatments that benefit the skin.
While some may hesitate before booking their first appointment with Conn, if her rapidly growing roster of over 100 clients is any indication, that resistance is fleeting at best.
"I had a client who had never had a facial. She was ready to step into a new experience. At first she was a bit nervous but the cleansing and the skin typing she felt safer," Conn says. "When it was time for the facial massage within a few minutes all I heard was snoring. She woke up twenty minutes later and could not believe the service was over and she felt so relaxed."
Healthier skin and practicing good self-care bring Conn's clients more than a glowing complexion. Conn's techniques, regimens, and special services help her clients gain an inner glow as well.
"I love working with the skin and seeing how each client is amazed by the process. It was painless, comforting and they felt the difference immediately," Conn says. "They have a brighter, softer complexion. Best part they feel good about themselves. That brings me joy!"
Licensed and insured, Conn makes it a practice to listen to her clients and respond to their needs by providing educational materials on their individual skin concerns, recommending products to help rejuvenate and maintain healthy living skin, creating a custom skin care regimen, and developing an individualized plan for healthy skin care success.
Conn's commitment to helping others look and feel their best means that she is constantly pursuing new professional certifications and looking to master new techniques. She is a PCA Professional Skin Chemical Peel Professional and an Alexandria Professional Sugaring, Oncology trained esthetician. In addition, she has served her community as a facilitator of Death Café Northern Virginia workshops.
"When clients begin to like themselves because they have the knowledge to really take care of their skin its empowering," Conn says. "They like what they see in the mirror and they smile. Can't get better than that."

After the last couple of weeks it feels impossible to return to "normal". I'm not even sure what that even is. It just feels wrong. But it has to be done.
Yesterday, my mom and I went off for a little while to just get out of the house. We did a wee bit of shopping and went to dinner. I absolutely LOVE TJ Maxx. I get in trouble every time I go there, nearly!
This time, I bought snacks! Never shop when hungry, right? Well, I was JUST this side of starving ALL DAY yesterday. Do you ever have days like that?
Well, Walkers Shortbread sent me a giftcard to get some snacks with and I was starving so BAM!
These are the absolute best cookies to enjoy with a cup of coffee at night while blogging! They are light and soooo buttery! I will guarantee if you don't choose a couple of cookies and leave the box in the kitchen, you will eat them ALL! (don't ask me how I know that!) I have put what we didn't eat up for a beach day Saturday! I have to make a conscious decision to FORGET they are in the kitchen or they won't last that long!
The week of my grandma's service was nothing but eating food that was provided by friends and churches. There is nothing healthy about that kind of food. Add in a person who is a stress eater and that is a recipe for disaster!
I tried to return to normal eats and moves last week but wasn't very successful at it. I am trying again this week. So far, so good.
For breakfast, I had a shakeology, lunch was some bbq pork and greenbeans with trailmix and grapes for an afternoon snack. Dinner was a little less healthy with shrimp alfredo and broccoli. I took zero food pictures!
I DID, however, take pictures of the workout I did today. That's right! I MOVED!
I did the Shiftshop workout from Beachbody. That was a GREAT workout! I was a sweaty mess. I do NOT like to sweat so that is saying something!
Obviously, I didn't set the app correctly before beginning, I needed to select a higher active calorie burn. Live and learn, right?
Have you tried the new Beachbody workout?
What new workout have you done lately?

At Warby Parker Readery inside the Brookfield Place mall in downtown Manhattan, you can not only shop for glasses and read books stocked in the 1960s-style-newsstand location, you can also pick up free postcards, featuring sketches such as a bespectacled woman waiting for a train at a nearby subway station by artist Jason Polan.
While those postcards are not adding directly to the company's sales, the illustrations of local scenes give the store a personal touch and illustrate why Warby Parker, since its 2010 launch, has resonated with many consumers. With such initiatives as a home try-on program, it's made a name for itself as a retail industry disruptor and a so-called unicorn, reportedly valued at $1.2 billion and counting big-name investors including American Express Ventures, T. Rowe Price and Tiger Global Management.
After building on the promise of cutting out the middleman to sell eyeglass directly to consumers online, mostly at $95 a pair, a price it said is far below the $400 to $500 a traditional designer pair would have cost, Warby Parker also has opened physical stores.
With more than 50 stores currently, this year Warby Parker plans to open 22 stores, said its co-founder and co-CEO, Neil Blumenthal, in an interview in June. Its retail ambition isn't limited to big urban markets like New York or Los Angeles. New store openings this year included its first forays in states including Kentucky and Alabama.
"We are excited about our brick-and-mortar presence," Blumenthal said in the interview. "We are not sure what our store count will be. We try to make each environment special to the community, whether it's through original artwork or through some partnerships."
And while he concedes that it's hard to measure the sales impact of stores that are customized for local markets, "we think it's important for our brand to create authentic relationships with our customers."
The Omnichannel Experience
Speaking at a retailing conference hosted by the Wharton School in June, he said the idea behind opening its stores isn't just about "raising ecom awareness." The stores allow Warby Parker to demonstrate its glasses "are equal if not better quality" than other designer glasses, he said.
The stores complete an omnichannel loop: Warby Parker uses the location of its online consumers to gauge potential opportunities for opening brick-and-mortar stores. (Over 75% of customers who buy at its stores have browsed and done research on the company's website first, he said.) Similarly, in-store shoppers can become online browsers and buyers: Each Warby Parker store employee is outfitted with an iPad and can email consumers pictures of themselves trying on different glasses in stores so that they can show friends and family and make an online purchase later.
"We are experience-focused and medium agnostic," Blumenthal said at the conference.
He noted that that the stores offer full-length mirrors so shoppers can see how they look, a simple practice that's not "rocket science," but something that other retailers weren't providing.
Thanks in part to those innovations, Warby Parker is outpacing the retail and eyeglass market. Warby Parker is expected to increase its US sales 20% this year, on top of a 28% growth in 2016, according to market research firm 1010data. In comparison, industry giant Luxottica, maker of Ray-Ban sunglasses and owner of LensCrafters and Pearle Vision, is expected to see US sales decline 3% this year following a 1% gain last year, 1010data projects.
"Customers are looking for unique experiences to engage with retailers/brands," Michelle Malison, retailing analyst at Euromonitor International, told eMarketer Retail. "Glasses/sunglasses are products that have always required a degree of customization/personalization, but the shopping experience Warby Parker offers is quite unique. The key is to create a personalized experience that offers shoppers an opportunity to emotionally engage with the brand."
Warby Parker also sits in the sweet spot of a growing retail market. Euromonitor estimates global eyewear retail sales are growing at an average of 4.6% a year to $126.2 billion this year, up from $101 billion in 2012 globally. In the US, the annual average growth rate of 4.4% the past five years will translate to 2017 sales of $36.6 billion, according to Euromonitor.
