A charge card is a card that provides a direct debit payment method enabling the cardholder to make purchases which are paid for by the card issuer, to whom the cardholder becomes indebted. The cardholder is obligated to repay the debt to the card issuer in full by the due date, usually on a monthly basis, or be subject to late fees and restrictions on further card use. Charge cards are distinct from credit cards in that credit cards are revolving credit instruments that do not need to be paid in full every month and a balance may be carried over, on which an interest is paid. Charge cards are typically issued without spending limits, but credit cards usually have a specified credit limit that the cardholder may not exceed.
In 1914, Western Union opened the first charge account for its customers and provided them with a paper identification. There were many larger department stores which opened store charge accounts for their customers with paper identification, enabling the customer to make purchases on credit provided by the store. However, these accounts could be used only within the store which issued them. In 1950, Diners Club began opening charge accounts with paper identification cards, directed at the travel and entertainment markets. The novel feature of these cards was that the charge card could be used in a large number of stores. These stores had to enter an agreement with Diners Club, and pay a fee to the company. For the fee, Diners Club carried the cost of setting up accounts, authorizing each transaction, processing transactions and collections, bore the financing costs and assumed the risk of cardholders defaulting. The new system was especially appealing to smaller stores in competition with the larger stores but who could not justify setting up their own charge account facilities. Eventually the larger stores began accepting these cards, testifying that the fees charged by the card operator were lower than the store's cost in running their own store accounts. In 1957, American Express also entered the field, and in 1959 was the first company to issue embossed plastic charge cards to ISO/IEC 7810 standards.
In Europe, the MasterCard-affiliated Maestro brand (which is a debit card rather than a charge card) replaced the European Eurocheque brand for payment cards in 2002. Many Eurocheque cards, particularly in such countries as Austria and Germany, were charge cards branded with the Eurocheque logo. In addition, the European Eurocard, issued as the competitor for American Express was, and in some countries (such as the Nordic countries) still is, a charge card. Therefore, the majority of MasterCards in these countries still are charge cards. Visa charge cards are also available in Europe.
The user of the charge card has to pay the balance of their account at the end of each month and the charge card company, unlike a credit card, does not charge interest. A charge card company's main source of revenue is the merchant fee, which is a percentage of the transaction value which typically ranges between 1 and 4%, plus an interchange or minimum fee.
Many charge cards have the option for users to pay for some purchases over time. American Express charge card customers, for instance, can enroll in the Extended Payment Option (internally referred to as ExPO) to be able to pay for purchases over $200 over time, or in Sign & Travel to be able to pay for eligible travel-related expenses over time.
Most charge cards also have a feature called No Preset Spending Limit (NPSL). While consumers often take NPSL to mean that their cards are without limits, NPSL really means that a card's limit changes, often from month-to-month, based on factors such as consumer charging and payment history as well overall economic trends. According to a CardHub.com NPSL study, the way NPSL charge cards are reported to the major credit bureaus varies by issuer and can lead to artificial increases in credit utilization, thereby lowering one's FICO Score.
Governments and large businesses often use charge cards to pay for and keep track of expenses related to official business; these are often referred to as purchasing cards. Some retailers and banks issue charge cards to customers (ex. British Petroleum, Speedway, Shell Oil Company, ExxonMobil, ARCO, Sinclair Oil Corporation, Kwik Fill, Kwik Trip, Silicon Valley Bank, Sunoco, FleetCor Technologies, Inc., U.S. Bank, Lloyds Bank, World Fuel Services, Casey's General Stores, Edenred, 7-Eleven, Chevron Corporation, Valero Energy, MAPCO Express, Inc., Citgo, Lukoil, Phillips 66, Alon USA, Holiday Stationstores, PNC Financial Services, Citibank, Gulf Oil LP, Murphy USA, GetGo, Kum & Go, Meijer, QuikTrip, Sheetz, Wawa, Inc., Marathon Petroleum, Circle K, CEFCO, EZ GO Stores, Petrol Plus Region, Mansfield Energy Corp., Simonson Station Stores, ASAP Energy Inc., Daigle Oil Company, Riggins Inc., P-Fleet Inc.). Some American Express and Diners Club cards are charge cards, rather than credit or debit cards such as VISA and MasterCard. WEX Inc. issues 13 charge cards (all fuel cards). The SELECT Black Card is a charge card.

Today Gucci Mane unveiled the music video for the song "Make Love" that features Young Money's own Nicki Minaj. While the barbs showed their love & support for the visual & basked in all of it's glory, one bitter betty just had to chime in with negativity. Famed NY DJ Funk Master Flex took to his social media accounts to bash Nicki & even questioned her title as the queen of rap. Some of his followers agreed with his opinion & some didn't. After seeing Flex's blatant & bold display of hating Raw Hollywood's owner/writer Virgil Wilson decided to respond to him.
Yoooooo??? Rhyming on a plastic air bunny???? Wow! This verse is Dumpster juice marinated in dinosaur piss!!! America this is your queen of rap! Ps. Just calling it as I see it! Just an opinion! @nickiminaj don't be tight! Just my opinion!
Ever since Remy Ma released her "Shether" diss record that was in response to Minaj throwing subliminal shots at her Flex has obviously been team Remy, but why is exactly does he dislike Nicki so much?
@funkflex why you so mad at @NICKIMINAJ? Too many haters & not enough supporters. She grinding so let her live.
@funkflex it's a difference between opinion & truth but obviously you don't know the difference.

Ephesians 5:22-24 "Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
While this is the Word of God and is true, as men we must not look at this as a right or privlege. Rather this is a great repsonsbility given to us by God. We need to provide and protect our wives, loving them at every moment.
Ephesians 5:21-33 "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing[b] her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”[c] 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband."
God's plan for marriage is that we become one flesh. It is no secret that men and women are different. Wives can offer us their wisdom that helps us see our shortcomings. A marriage is supposed to be about seeing our spouse's perspective. As men we must respect our wive's thoughts and ideas. If we truly cherish our wives this is what me must do.
Harold Mcmillian (a British politician born in 1894) was quoted as saying.
We as men and husbands should be thankful for the gift of marriage. We need to love and respect our wives. As Christians we should focus on what we need to do better (see the log in our own eye), more so than use a single Bible verse to prove we are superior.
33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband."
The New Testament in the book of Ephesians chapter 5 verses 21-33 talks about submission in marriage between husband and wife. Verse 21 (Eph. 5:21) is rarely quoted, which speaks of ‘mutual submission.’ It says, 21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. This passage goes on say that wives should submit to their husbands as to the Lord and husbands must love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. I don’t know about most women, but I would have no difficulty submitting to a husband that loved me as Christ loved the church. How did Christ treat/love his church? Jesus was a servant to his church. Jesus washed the feet of his disciples (in biblical times only servants washed the feet of their masters), he put their needs before his, he had mercy, forgiveness, encouragement, kindness, gentleness, unconditional love for his church and in the end he gave his own life for them so that they could live. Christ did not abuse his authority and headship over his church. Husbands are not to abuse their authority and headship over their wives (or children), but to daily serve them as Christ served, nurtured, encouraged, and graciously led his church. This passage ends with verse 33 which says, 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. One of the best Christian book s that I have read that describes this best is the book, Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs. I would encourage every married couple to read this book or attend one of their conferences. This will change your view of love and respect. However, this book will only be beneficial to marriages where domestic violence is NOT present. If a woman is in a marriage where there is abuse, the abuse MUST be dealt with first before anything else. Unfortunately, this means that a woman and her children must get to a safe place away from her husband. Most abusive men will not just change on their own. They usually will need their wife to take a strong stand and separate from the marriage before a man will even consider changing by getting help to keep his family together. Some men will never change to keep their wife and marriage intact. A woman must have the strength (that for me was only found in Jesus Christ) to leave and separate. If a husband’s life is not rocked by separation and the threat of losing his wife and children, the chances of him ever changing or getting help is not likely. If his behaviors are continually hidden behind the closed doors of the family household and never exposed, most abusive men have no need to get help, in that their behavior has no consequences. My hope and prayer is that every woman in an abusive relationship will have the strength to leave to safety to give herself and her children a chance for a better, safer life. God wants ALL his children to live a joyful abundant life. John 10:10 says, I (Jesus) came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
Perfect clarity! I couldn't agree more! My hope is that EVERY woman who finds themselves in an abusive relationship, mental or physical, needs face it and leave. Hopefully the generation we are raising will know not to just say they will, but to actually find the strength inside them no matter what!!!
I’ve been struggling with this... I believe my husband is verbally abusive, and threatens to use my past against me (I was sexually assaulted by my step dad who my mom is still married to, and I still have to be around, I have delt with that and it in the past, I do it because of my siblings). He says if I don’t do this or don’t do that he will blast it all over Facebook, making me a victim all over again. He tells me I don’t know how good I have it, that he’s such a great guy, and if I want to leave, then I can. But I won’t have nothing. I don’t have a job, or a car, or friends (because he doesn’t approve of them and says if I reach out and get back in touch he will leave) I’m a stay at home mom with three boys. He tells me if I do leave no one will want me because I would be a single mom with two “baby daddy’s” and that he would find someone better than me in a heart beat because he is such a good guy, who couldn’t want him. He hides the keys to the car so I can’t leave, when we argue, and told me since the car was in his name it’s his, and he would call the cops a report it missing (we only have one car) he doesn’t say it exactly but I’m not good enough for him, my patients with the kids is horrible, the house is never clean, and I’m disrespectful. We have a blended family and he is so cold to my son(from a previous relationship) and my son tells me all the time “why doesn’t he love me like my brothers” he also tells me that it will be my fault that our kids will be ruined if I do decide to leave. My parents are about at there end with them. They have told me I don’t know how you’ve put up with him this long. (There are way worse things he has done) because everything is double sided... he can do no wrong, but if I do the same exact thing he did, I get condemned. He is giving me the silent treatment now... we haven’t talked in two days unless it was absolutely necessary. I don’t know what to do. I need advice because I’m feeling torn between the Godly wife I should be, and my sanity.

All staff across the University will be encouraged to wear pink for the day.
Breast cancer survivor and VU Project Manager Renae Vojtek is organising the event with her colleagues in support of women’s cancers. Renae was inspired to launch VU’s first Pink Ribbon Day last year – established exclusively for women’s cancers – by her colleagues asking what they could do to help her. This year the Footscray campus is ‘Turning Pink for a Day’ to raise money to support breast cancer patients in the west who are undergoing treatment for breast cancer through Western Health’s Breast Services clinics. All money raised will provide practical everyday items that women suffering from breast cancer will need during the course of their treatment.

I’ve met a lot of folks who assume it’d be easy to work for the clergy. But I know of one person who would beg to differ.
She was the chapel office manager when I was stationed at a small California Air Force base in the mid-1990s. As the non-commissioned Officer in Charge (NCOIC), she ran our chapel business at a mile-a-minute, coordinating chaplain appointments, keeping our books and arranging our chapel for worship. She was a law-and-order manager, good with regulations and policies.
However, in the high-touch world of ministry, the chaplains found her too surly. She lacked the compassionate qualities required of someone dealing with tearful airmen who often wandered about our chaplain offices.
Yes, that’s a bad thing.
The survey began with a visit from the base psychologist who interviewed each staff member involved.
He asked each of us to make a choice.
You can guess which one Sgt. By-the-Book chose. She saw her job as top priority. And if you’ve been reading my heart-so-tender columns, you’ll know the get-along choice I made.
I won’t say who gave the best answer, but I do believe our staff squall gives insight into the strife threatening to tear this country asunder.
There are those of us who believe that getting along is the best way to make a peaceful world.
OK, let’s talk fences. Imagine you have a storm-damaged fence that needs to be rebuilt. As you plan your repairs, a chatty new neighbor interrupts you for a visit.
People like me will welcome the gregarious neighbor in for coffee. We’re hoping the neighbor has a better way to design the fence and will help rebuild it. Maybe we even hope that we won’t have to deal with the fence today.
Like some of you, I think this is the best approach to fence building. That’s because I believe our task must always be people. Folks like me believe our job is best accomplished through the good relationships we maintain with our colleagues, neighbors and coworkers.
There are others, like my staff sergeant, who can’t find time for people until their job is thoroughly finished. They won’t have time for the sociable neighbor until their fence is stained and the brushes cleaned.
After all, if they don't get their fence fixed, their dog will run off, burglars will have a nonstop path to their back door and the homeowners association will cite them. They will, one day, welcome the neighbor, but only by invitation.
So, back at the base, who was right? Me, the people-person? Or the task-oriented sergeant?
In the end, our base commander discovered, as will our country’s leadership, that both sides can share the truth. Both can have ways in which they are right.
Our country had a leader who was a people-person. Now we have a president who is definitely task-oriented. If our new leadership can channel both qualities, then we will accomplish the tasks ahead.
The only thing I know for sure is that the job has to get done, and we are the ones who must do it – together.

Frederick Grimke is the last person anyone – including scholars who have recounted the careers of his two sisters Sarah and Angelina in the nineteenth century feminist movement – would have suspected of having a sympathetic interest in women’s rights. An intellectual with quietly held opinions on secession and slavery reflecting his antebellum southern heritage, who spent the last two decades of his life pursuing interests in political theory, he was famous among fellow townsmen for his aversion to female company. But his affection for his sisters and his admiration for what they had achieved in their public careers inspired this essay, “The Rights of Women in a Democratic Republic,” in which he made a remarkably prescient forecast of the vocational future of American women – including married women with children – once given access to higher education.
The essay was nearly lost. Grimke himself had doubts about it, and after appealing to Sarah to help him resolve them, died in 1863 leaving an instruction that it be omitted from the edition of all his writings which his executor published in 1871, in a cheaply fabricated volume with very small distribution. Melhorn’s Epilogue reveals who the executor was, and how he came to disobey the order for the essay’s suppression.
With new research findings revealing Grimke’s influence on his sister Sarah’s writings, and the discovery of feminist issues as an undergraduate debate topic at Yale where he was educated, Melhorn’s Commentary broadens the scope of the history of women’s rights in America.

I was delighted to attend the Hampstead Forum’s unveiling of its draft Neighbourhood Plan at Burgh House this evening. Neighbourhood Plans increase protections against developments that are out of character for an area (one is already in place in West Hampstead).
I will be going through it with a fine toothcomb to make sure the plans work for residents, but from what I can see, it’s been very well thought-through and will make a significant improvement to conservation in Hampstead.
I was asked about Hampstead’s Conservation Area statement: another mechanism by which Hampstead’s character is protected against over-development. The statement hasn’t been updated since 2001, so is a little out-of-date in parts (as well as having some factual inaccuracies).
I’ve been pushing for the Conservation Area statement to be updated, as has Cllr Stephen Stark. However, the draft Plan relies on the Conservation Area statement as part of its evidence base, so an up-to-date statement is essential to ensure the Plan offers Hampstead as strong protection as it can.
As such, I will be pushing again for the statement to be updated and will keep residents updated about the outcome of that pressure.

Stanford University Computer Systems Colloquium hold live talks throughout the academic year which are open to the public and last Tuesday saw Carey Nachenberg of Symantec and UCLA CS as guest speaker presenting to an audience of mixed backgrounds and levels of experience with ‘Deep Learning for Dummies’.
The aim of the talk was to give a high level idea of what deep learning is, starting from machine learning and decision trees and how deep learning figures things out automatically.
The roadmap of this talk starts from the Ising model (Wilhelm Lenz) from 1922 which studied lattice models of atoms and the correlation (weight) between the behaviour of atoms and how pairs of atoms can be aligned so will flip depending on the correlation or anti correlation of energy between them and closely aligned atoms exhibit similar behaviour. Nachenberg demonstrates the building of a histogram with the possible outcomes of atom flips (up or down) in a system of three atoms and how the histogram allows you to then work out the probability of a certain outcome appearing and then goes on to 3d models and the building blocks of deep learning and deep neural networks.
Nachenberg goes on to talk about the work of Geoffrey Hinton and Terry Sejnowski who together pioneered the application of learning algorithms in speech and vision and talks about their experimentation in the 1980s with the Ising model (Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs)). Hinton and Sejnowski’s work centred around teaching these networks to encode a memory using a gradient descent algorithm and this talk also looks into what is happening to the correlation between atoms in examples during the gradient descent algorithm.
The eureka part of the talk for deep learning as we know it is how the gradient descent algorithm recognises the same atoms that are in the ‘on’ state across multiple images from training images and how the regularities are key in a network reconstructing training data in order to identify images.

I had so much fun making these baby pies! For some reason party food seems more fun when it’s miniature right? I don’t know what it is, but I just love it.
So, these are totally doable, they look detailed, but seriously are really easy. I snapped photos while I was preparing them to show how easy they are. I’m talking only 3 main ingredients, love recipes like this!
Peanut Butter and Jelly is one of those combinations that I could do in almost any dessert. I knew this duo would be irresistible as little pies. The kids will love these as will the adults because they are so darn cute, make some PB & J baby pies for game day and wow your guests! Enjoy.
Here you have the lovely little PB&J pies. I am in love with these!
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Unroll pie crust onto a lightly floured surface. Use a 2 1/2 inch round cutter to cut out circles in dough (I used a random little cup that worked great). Lightly press dough rounds into greased mini muffin tin. Roll remaining scraps of dough to an even thickness then use a sharp knife to cut thin 1/8 inch strips to create the lattice topping. Set aside.
2. Mix peanut butter and sugar until combined. With a small cookie scoop or teaspoon, drop a heaping teaspoon into each of the pie crusts. Do the same with the jam. Using the pie strips, form the lattice top. See pictures above for help. Cut excess dough from edges and brush tops lightly with the egg wash, sprinkle with sugar crystals (optional) and bake for 25-30 minutes or until nice and golden brown.
3. Remove and with the tip of a knife, loosen edges where jam has oozed out. Carefully remove from pan after 5 minutes with the help of the knife and let cool. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with milk!
Think we’ve got some happy taste testers! Come back soon for more game day recipes!!
WOW WOW WOW, I really want one of these…dad-gum South Beach Diet! I can tell how good they are by Brady’s face…SO funny! Miss u!!!
They make gluten free pie crust mixes. You can usually pick them up in the section with more of the ‘natural, preservative free’ stuff. They have a different texture but aren’t too bad.
what a great idea! cute little pies and testers!
The kiddos are going to LOVE these!! Thanks for sharing Jenny!
You amaze me with your creations. This sounds very simple but awesome! My kids would love these and they would love to help with them, thanks for another great recipe.
Wow, I want one now! no wait, I want like 5 now!!!
Wow those babies are adorable! Love them!
Very cute! I love PB and J too.
Jenny, these are adorable! We’ll definitely make them.
I could eat like 50 of those!
Oh my gosh I am SUPER excited to try these out on my boys! What a great afternoon snack from school 🙂 Thanks for sharing this idea!
What adorable little pies! I love that they’re made with easy, every day ingredients, but they look so awesome.
There is nothing that I love more than peanut butter and jelly. I love this and have bookmarked it! Hope to make it soon.
Those are the cutest tiny pies ever!
Sweet! I have a freezer full of those pie crusts that I got for FREE! I just put my first batch in the oven, so adorable!
These look amazing! Thanks for the recipe, and I LOVE your blog!!
o.m.g. how freaking cute are these! I love them! And the boys sure look like they loved them too!
These look so yummy and I can imagine my kids would love these as well. Your little one is darling!
How cute are these?! That is one happy boy you have – looks like a rave review to me.
Ok, you are unbelievably talented. These are amazing and would win any contest. I’m such a sucker for PB&J…and so easy too! Great job girl!
OMG!! how cute is that?! I love anything that’s bite-size!
So (I’m clueless about baking) these would work just as well with other fillings? My fiance is back here demanding tiny apple pies!
Lol! Absolutely, little apple pies would be wonderful. Should be about the same baking time too 🙂 Hope you guys love them!
Thank you so much for sharing this idea! My 4-year-old saw these this morning as we were browsing your blog together, and he immediately insisted we get to work on these “because Daddy and (big sister) REALLY NEED to try them!” And it turns out he was right! We made half with peanut butter, and the other half we subbed with cream cheese for the non-PB eaters in the family, and they were fantastic. We loved them!
Thanks so much for sharing! So glad you all loved the recipe 🙂 I bet the cream cheese ones were yummy!!
Hey! I made these last night for a couples party and used chocolate and peanut butter! They were a huge hit and I already had most of the ingredients in my pantry! Thanks for the cute ideas!
I AM IN LOVE WITH THESE! What a fun idea…I hope you don’t mind if I link this recipe – gorgeous final result (and they look SO yummy)!
I just made these with my 4-year-old daughter. Too cute!! Although mine don’t look nearly as pretty as yours. I also didn’t have to bake mine as long – they were done in about 20 minutes. Thanks for such a darling idea!! Love your site.
Tammy so glad you and your daughter loved them!! I was much more careful putting these together since I knew I was taking pictures! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you so much for this recipe to jazz up pb&j’s! Can not wait to see my girls faces when they have their own personal little pies for lunch, so much fun.
These are adorable and sound so so yummy. You are very creative that’s why I love checking out your site and testing out your recipes. You always have something different and delectable.
Fantastic Site! I wanted to ask if I could site some of your site couple of points for a term paper.
what a great idea.. I can’t wait to try it i love the fact it bpj can wait to try it. I want to try the idea with other fillings as well.
i would not mind trying them for a party could I make them a day in advance? how long do they last?
Wow, I need to make these.
I made some of them with Nutella. Yummy!! I wish I had a bigger mini muffin pan so I could make more at a time. Thank you for the fun and delicious recipe.
I made these last night for a party and they were a HUGE hit. Everyone *loved* them and talked about how delicious they were. There were even a few celebs at the party who raved about it and demanded the recipe 😉 Thanks for the help!
wow what a great idea! they look fabulous!
These look so yummy and easy I printed out to make for Easter however I think im missing something. You call for 1 Tbls of sugar, but no where does it say to add it. You have the sugar crystals for top listed in ingred also so is this a dup? or are you mixing with the pb maybe?

Sean Dyche has backed his players to bounce back at Bournemouth tomorrow.
The Clarets suffered only their third defeat of the season, in controversial circumstances, on Sunday, as Arsenal snatched a 1-0 win in injury time.
Alexis Sanchez scored from the spot after James Tarkowski was adjudged to have shoved Aaron Ramsey in the box.
It was the third-successive time the Gunners have beaten Burnley with a contentious late goal, but Dyche doesn’t dwell on disappointments, and he said: All I know is that we are continuing to improve I feel, and there were good signs of that again.
“That is the over-riding thing, but there is obvious disappointment not to get something out of the game.
“The lads are flat because it is last minute, but not flat because of the performance, and I made it clear to them that that performance is a sign that we keep moving, and that is over a season.
The first half, in particular, was as well as Burnley have played all season, and Dyche added: “There were some good performances all round – certainly you wouldn’t look at anyone as the weak-link, and I think that is where we are improving.
“It’s raising your minimum – can you raise your minimum? We all know on a maximum day, teams in the Premier League are very good, no matter if you are a top, middle or bottom side.
“It is about raising your minimum. What about the days when it is a quiet one? What about the days when you haven’t been quite as effective? Can you raise it? Can you still be productive?
“I think we are showing signs of that.

Mark Fathi Massoud, associate professor of politics and legal studies, has been elected to the board of trustees of the Law and Society Association (LSA), a global interdisciplinary academic organization devoted to investigating law's impacts on society.
Founded in 1964, the association uses methods from the social sciences and humanities to analyze legal practice and "envision social justice;" its most recent annual meeting drew about 3,000 attendees. The next annual conference will be in Washington, DC, in May 2019.
Massoud was elected to a three-year term, 2018-2021. Trustees are chosen from a slate of nominees generated by LSA members. The governance committee then puts names forward to the board of trustees, which further whittles down the list to 16 candidates, who are voted on by the full membership. The eight candidates receiving the most votes are elected to the board.
Massoud, who was born in Sudan and raised in California, studies law in conflict settings, with a focus on Islamic law and society. He teaches courses in international law, human rights, and comparative law. In 2016, he received a Carnegie Fellowship to explore the interplay of human rights and religion in Islamic states after war. He is also a Guggenheim Fellow.
In their election announcement to members, LSA President Kim Lane Scheppele and Executive Officer Steve Boutcher noted the diversity of the newly elected leaders, as well as the diversity of their scholarly interests: "We are thrilled that LSA has such a distinguished new set of leaders, and we are really proud of our members for electing such a wonderful and historic group."
Massoud is the second board member from UC Santa Cruz, following Sociology Professor Hiroshi Fukurai, who was elected in 2010 and served until 2013.

What are the best things to do in Santa Cruz?
I lived in Santa Cruz for four years. During that time, I took full advantage of the beautiful city, beach, and mountains.
Santa Cruz is one of those places that you fall in love with from the get-go. Santa Cruz is located in the hustling and bustling state of California, but Santa Cruz residents prefer a slower paced lifestyle that brushes off on you after spending some time there.
Walking or driving along West Cliff Drive, stopping to take pictures, and ending up at Natural Bridges State Beach for a picnic and fun is one of my favorite things to do in Santa Cruz. West Cliff Drive is a 2.75-mile stretch of sidewalk that runs right along the ocean. Locals generally spend sunny afternoons walking or cycling the length of West Cliff Drive. The path offers some breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and passes by some of the best beaches and icons of Santa Cruz such as the Santa Cruz Surfing Museum at the lighthouse. Catch a glimpse of seals and surfers at sea and if you're in luck and it's the season, you'll see the Monarch Butterflies at Natural Bridges.
The Mystery Spot is a gravitational anomaly that has been puzzling residents since 1939 when it was first discovered. Basically, the Mystery Spot challenges your perceptions of the laws of physics and gravity. If you’re a fan of illusions then you’ll definitely be impressed by a ball rolling uphill and water flowing upwards. Be prepared to second-guess all of your senses. Locals and tourists alike love this place due to its quirkiness and the mystery that surrounds it. It’s a great day trip for people of all ages and considered a must do if you're in Santa Cruz.
In a place that’s nicknamed “Surf City USA”, you can expect to find nothing less of the best waves in the country. And Santa Cruz locals sure love their surfing. It’s one of the favorite pastimes for residents. If you enjoy surfing yourself then you want to make your way down to Pleasure Point. It’s a world-renowned surf destination that stretches along the coast. Get a taste of the Santa Cruz surf culture by catching a wave at famous surf spots including The Hook, 26th Ave, Steamer Lane and Mitchell’s Cove. Surfing is why Santa Cruz is considered one of the best places to visit and definitely one of the best things to do.
First Friday is a recurring monthly event that celebrates the artistic culture of Santa Cruz. On the first Friday of each month you can find various happenings organized throughout town. There are numerous art exhibitions, local bands playing live and creative workshops. Locals like the event so much that most shops, museums, galleries and venues work with extended hours. First Friday has become a local tradition that isn’t going away any time soon and it's one of the top things to do in Santa Cruz if you're in town on the first Friday. Admissions are generally free so you can organize a tour around town and visit multiple venues, including the Museum of Art & History which is a First Friday must.
This is probably already on your list, but I'll mention it. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is definitely one of the best things to do in Santa Cruz. It's an oceanfront amusement park that is appreciated by tourists and locals alike. It’s the oldest amusement park in California, founded in 1907. Although one day isn’t nearly enough to see everything the park and surrounding area has to offer, it’s a good start. Take a ride on the iconic Giant Dipper – one of the oldest roller coasters in the world. Oh, and don’t forget to grab a chocolate dipped banana and root beer float from one of the food stands. You’ll love them! You can also walk to the wharf/pier from the Boardwalk and grab a cup of clam chowder in a bread bowl, yum!
A thriving neighborhood just five minutes from downtown, Westside Santa Cruz is a top destination for local wine lovers, connoisseurs of good food, and anyone looking to unwind and grab a bite to eat or a drink. Many would argue that Westside is the best place to wine and dine and with good reason. There are countless restaurants that serve anything from a simple grilled burger to a three-course gourmet meal. Dine with the locals and ask for the specialty of the house. You can’t go wrong. Westside is one of the best places to visit in Santa Cruz.
Downtown Santa Cruz is every coffee addict’s dream come true. Why? Well, Santa Cruz locals take their coffee culture very seriously. There are countless cafes just waiting to serve you a dose of freshly brewed coffee. Whether you’re looking to sit in a café that’s trendy, historical or just eccentric, Downtown Santa Cruz has the perfect place for you. The specialty coffees, gourmet sandwiches, fresh baked pastries and signature wraps are the talk of this coastal beach town. And don't forget about the delicious pizza, ice cream, or drinks at one of the signature bars. Eating and drinking downtown is definitely one of the best things to do in Santa Cruz.
I forgot to mention one very important detail. If you're a fan of hiking you are in luck. Hiking in the redwood forest in the mountains of Santa Cruz is actually the best thing to do. So if you like to hike, do some research on the different trails in the area. The best place to hike in Santa Cruz requires a 30-60 minute drive and is called Big Basin Redwoods State Park, but there are other parks and trails that are closer than Big Basin.
Have you ever been to Santa Cruz? Do you live there? Tell us about your favorite Santa Cruz experiences in the comments below.

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has conducted initial tests of autonomous transport pods under a partnership with US technology firm Next Future Transportation.
The agreement, first announced early this week, comes under the Dubai Future Accelerators programme to address challenges faced by key government organisations.
Onboard 3D and ordinary cameras help each pod avoid accidents.
“The prototypes of these units are manufactured in Italy and shipped to Dubai for trials. These pods run on a virtual pre-configured and programmed lane and are overseen by the operational system,” said RTA director general and chairman Mattar Al Tayer.
The pilot test was overseen by UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Dubai Ruler HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
Sheikh Mohammed has directed that 25 per cent of journeys in the emirate are autonomous or driverless by 2030.
On Tuesday, the RTA also launched a challenge for self-driving vehicles with $5m of prizes for entrants from international companies, start-ups and universities.

This new Martin - D-28 feels like a fresh, bold take on a beloved classic. Featuring a new bracing pattern that combines features from across Martin's legacy, the Forward Shifted X-Bracing delivers a dynamic, rich low end that we love from the Pre-War era, combined with non-scalloped tone bars for a focused, direct attack. It is a particularly responsive build with plenty of bass, without being "woofy," and loads of Rosewood high end without being harsh.
I am wanting to know more information about Martin Acoustic Guitars - D-28.

I guess the question would be whether they had more on him, but he cut a deal to take the one charge.
That would be the million dollar question.
Affirm a plea deal. Well that's a euphemism isn't it. Flowery for pleading GUILTY TO LYING TO THE FBI.
so how did the fbi get the conversation between flynn and the "russian ambassador"?
What could be worst case scenario from this?
Doubtful in terms of squealing... 1 count of lying to the FBI given the speculation on the left is a relatively minor outcome. The other thing is what did he lie about and when did it happen?
Notice the lack of charges in regards to "Russian collusion".
If I had to guess it deals with his acting as a foreign agent by lobbying and failing to do so.
and even after all of this there is the issue of his unmasking by Obama administration people which started this whole thing.
Given that Flynn wasn't around very long, I'd think the odds of him having any interesting "dirt" on Trump are pretty low.
Uh, he lied about quite a few things, I did read it. I don't know why I cant copy paste it. So why do so many of trumps team feel the need to LIE about Russia?
The #resisters must be so excited they can't sit still. First the illegal got off all the serious charges (take that DRUMPFT!!!!) and now Flynn gets charged with a minor crime. These are the type of "wins" they're reduced to taking.
How many indictments has Clinton seen yet? Oh yeah, none, but yeah this is the story that has no legs.

Tinted moisturisers are one of those products that everyone hopes to have tucked inside their make up case. It is the go-to for those summer days when you want to appear radiant and natural whilst still having something light covering your face. The Vitamin E Tinted Moisture Lotion is as it says, a moisturiser that is tinted in colour. In such a way, you can apply the moisturiser to boost your skin whilst also gaining a glow. This lotion only comes in one colour which is natural. I will be honest, quite often if is applied alone, it can be quite dark, especially for my pale skintone, as you can see from the swatch. Yet when it is rubbed in, it works and blends into your skintone really flawlessly.
However, I generally like to mix this with a light foundation, to get a moisturiser and perfect shade combination. I use The Body Shop Moisture Foundation SP15 in shade 02 – £13. If you are pale like me, when buffed into the skin with a foundation, it can leave your skin looking really lovely and dewy. It isn’t too oily either, so if you have oily skin, this could work for you also. For me with quite dry to normal skin, I find it leaves my face feeling moisturised with a subtle, dewy finish.
It is priced at £10 for the 50ml bottle, but this usually lasts me for around 2 months. I often alternate between wearing a foundation some days, to wearing this tinted moisturiser for those days I want to add extra moisture to my skin, so I manage to keep the bottle for slightly longer. And at that price, it is a product you can try once to see if you like it. I have literally recommended this product to every one of my friends and mum, and all of them now make sure they have a bottle in their collection.
I often either apply it with a brush but applying with your hands can also work, just make sure to have applied a bit of moisturiser to your skin first, as it will blend slightly nicer. It is all about what works best for you, but honestly I really recommend you give this a go.
What’s your favourite tinted moisturiser? Any you could recommend me?

Kamui Ski Link is under 30 minutes drive from Asahikawa the second biggest city in Hokkaido. It packs plenty of retro-chic as you step into the 80s when you arrive. The chair lifts give you plenty of time to faff with your gear on the way up, and they are all romantic two seaters. The main cable car is of classic vintage although they have fitted snowboard racks wide enough for fat skis. Being so close to the city it can be popular on the weekend, but never more than a small queue. Weekdays are a good call as you will be sharing the slopes with a few baby boomers and the occasional school groups which always stick to the learner slopes.
The pistes offers some steep race quality runs which are sometimes prepped for race practise. But you are unlikely to be here for the that. The posters dotted around the resort do not try to hide the fact that Kamui is all about the trees, in fact, Kamui is the home of the ‘V de Tree-omphe’. If you are planning to venture further afield, there is an arm band you can obtain from the ticket office. The normal out of bounds rules and implications apply. It is worthwhile to be self-sufficient with your own gear on your adventure.
It often feels colder in Kamui. Nothing a giant portion of tonkatsu and rice called ‘King of Kamui’ or a hot bowl of ramen can’t remedy. The canteen area is separated into two, one of which appears school canteen like. Hand your meal ticket from the machine to the chefs grab a beer from the vending machine while you wait. There is a famous ramen shop called Nobu, but at first sight it reads NOB set aside on its own away from the main building. It’s nice but not spectacular, and the toilet there is a bit pong. The café at the top is a great place for a short defrost break, or for an indoor picnic. The view is brilliant on a clear day. The toilets on the other hand is also very uncharacteristically pongy.
There are a few obvious terrain obstacles to look out for in the back and minimum navigation issues in the front. The lay of the land offers a favourable aspect to ski some wind loaded areas, although giant glide cracks are a persistent hazard in Kamui. The trees are well spaced and therefore well skied. If your turn radius can be tightened up, there are plenty of tighter tree runs which are often neglected. It is always a fun challenge to try and find an untouched boot high powder run after lunch. Nothing beats those lucky afternoons when you find the goods and drop into a zebra patterned slope with the waning sun casting shadows through the trees. Kamui is probably a one dayer, especially if you are on a mission to sample other ski areas. So if you want to maximise your fun efficiency, a day tour with Alpine Backcountry Guides is a no brainer. Check out a sample of our trips in January 2016 below.

When the 2013 NBA Playoffs began, Bulls forward Jimmy Butler had a mere four minutes of postseason experience under his belt.
That changed dramatically on Saturday during Game 1 in Brooklyn when Butler started and played 39 minutes, recording 13 points on 5-of-8 shooting. The Bulls, however, suffered a 106-89 loss which saw them trailing by 25 at the half. It’s a game that Butler and his teammates will be happy to learn from, and then promptly forget about.
Given the amount of injuries Chicago has suffered this season, facing a challenge is nothing new to this Bulls team. Butler believes that because the Bulls have played short-handed on so many occasions, it prepares them to be able to bounce back in Game 2.
Adjustments are often crucial in the postseason and Butler said there are several that can be made by the Bulls as they look to even their best of seven series against the Nets.
Butler, who along with Nate Robinson played every game during the 2012-13 season, admits he’s come a long way from playing so sparingly in last season’s first round matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was also glad to get Saturday’s Game 1, the first in which he played such a significant role during the playoffs, out of the way.
That’s certainly something Butler proved he could do in the regular season. Though his opportunities off the bench were inconsistent at the start of the year, injuries afforded him a chance to crack the starting lineup in mid-January. It was a situation he took full advantage of, averaging 14.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.80 steals in 20 regular season starts.
Though Butler admits his remarkable progress is not lost on him, he’s more focused on the task at hand right now.

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, 24 August 2015 — Whatever Thuy Trang, Vietnam’s golf tourism dynamo, lacks in stature she makes up in business skills and success.
For the past five years, since establishing Golfasian Vietnam, Trang, 35, has been the driving force behind Vietnam’s rise as a major golf tourism destination in Asia.
She and her 11 other staff – seven in Ho Chi Minh City and two each in Danang and Hanoi – built the business to exceed $US1 million turnover in 2014, a mark they surpassed in the first quarter alone in 2015.
The company booked 1500 golfers to Vietnam last year and is expecting to triple or quadruple this number in 2015. Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong are the main source markets.
Trang, the mother of two young daughters and holding degrees in computer science and maths, originally intended becoming a maths teacher like her father and sister, but made her mark in the travel industry instead.
“I studied English at night and soon realised I wanted to work with people, not computers,” she explains.
Trang has now spent the past 12 years in the travel industry. She saw the opportunity to establish a golf tourism business when she began receiving inquiries at Aurora Travel, the company where she previously worked and which is now associated with Golfasian Vietnam.
She has since travelled widely throughout Asia and to Europe to attend golf tourism events and conventions and has become the foremost authority on golf tourism to Vietnam.
Trang says Vietnam’s stature as a golf tourism destination has been enhanced by the number and quality of new courses, hotels and resorts built in the past five years, especially in and near Danang, which has become the country’s most popular city to stay and play golf.
Trang believes the tropical island Phu Quoc, off Vietnam’s southern coast near the Cambodia border, will become the country’s new golf tourism hotspot. The island already has one 27-hole course and several more are to be built in the next one to two years.
Vietnam currently has 36 courses, with at least 20 others in various stages of planning or construction.

Discussion in 'Reviews & Previews' started by Balagan, Mar 9, 2019.
Used my Evernew EBY 012 instep crampons for most of the past week whenever I wasn't using snowshoes and they were definitely worth their weight in stainless steel (212 gr a pair or roughly twice the titanium equivalents from Ruta Locura).
These are meant for use on summer snow and neves but they performed fine during an admittedly warmer-than-usual winter. The straps are simple to adjust, fast to put on or off and solid. There is no plastic whatsoever, just sturdy rubber straps with ridges that make precise adjustments possible and steel hooks.
The crampons need a modicum of heel to lock under the boot but they worked well with Salomon X-Ultra 3D mids which really have very little. One of their strengths is that you have six points (well, five really) instead of the more usual four lateral points only.
These are long enough (19mm) that your boot is going nowhere once they bite in, although that means that they are definitely not for mixed ground. The only issue was snow balling up after prolonged use. This wasn't difficult to clear but I'll be cutting up some plastic to add anti-balling plates. Evernew also has more elaborate versions with plates but these are heavier and more expensive.
Speaking of price, this is one of their major advantages: they cost a little less than £15! The downside is that they are not distributed in Europe so you have to buy them in a brick and mortar shop in Asia or order from Japan (which still works out at a fraction of Ti ones).

Luke Gilkerson is a champion among men. He is an author and one of the primary personnel behind the Covenant Eyes software. Not only that, but he was the first (and one of the few) bloggers/influencers willing to read Stronghold (He even interviewed me about it). Luke has always shown himself to be humble, kind, and compassionate—-whether in his comments on the Covenant Eyes blog or in his personal e-mail correspondence.
Nearly two years after Stronghold’s initial release, I was very glad to be back in touch with Luke, who was willing readily to participate in our ongoing In God’s Image Series.
The Writing as Worship series continues, albeit not as I would have expected.
If the internet is any indication of human goodness, then let us all now agree that total depravity is indeed the default setting of our species. On a daily basis online, I encounter things I wish I didn’t, be they words, images, or ideas. Behind a facade of seeming privacy and anonymity, folks stare at screens and act as they choose, each doing and saying whatever is right in his/her own eyes. When I am online, it feels like a digital Wild West, a land of quickly drawn verbal shootings with no regard for life or human flourishing.
I’m not much of a fan of westerns.
I first encountered Nathan James Norman during his appearance on the Strangers and Aliens podcast’s episode entitled, “What Makes Christian Fiction Good?” (also on itunes). Nathan’s thoughts were both articulate and interesting, and I listened to his conversation with host Ben Avery (who I interviewed HERE) more than once.
According to his website, Nathan James Norman is a “Husband. Father. Pastor. Storyteller. Reader. Comic Fan. Slave of the Lord Jesus Christ.” That means he and I have a great deal in common. Granted, I’ve not yet become a father, and I won’t be a pastor anytime soon (unless they stop requiring things like seminary), but other than that, Nathan James and I are pretty much on the same page.
That being the case, I was very grateful to Nathan for his willingness to take part in my In God’s Image Interview Series. Nathan’s The Untold Podcast is a very interesting and unique show that provides audio recordings of short stories that engage the culture’s imagination while also presenting truth and spiritual food for thought.
Over a month has passed since my last post. Given 2015’s track record, I think it is safe to say that I am not much of a blogger. I’d like to apologize for my failure to be more consistent. Like everyone else, I have the best of intentions, but when it comes to committing time, effort, and energy—–well, I drop the ball with the best of ’em.
This isn’t to say I’ve been sitting on my hands doing nothing (though, admittedly, I have done my fair share of that, also). I could make all manner of excuses, and truth be told, I am giving myself far more grace than usual due to some significant life events. But the bottom line is that I simply did not apply myself to my tasks. Oh, I filled my idea vault with a few new concepts, and built endless Lego mini-figures for inspirado, and even continued to work on my long-gestating fantasy timeline, but the hard work of revising Stronghold, continuing the Writing as Worship series, and preparing To Retreat from Romance for publication all fell off my plate.

Hydradermal Intensive Lift with Hydradermal Cell delivery system, activates certain genes involved in cell proliferation. Formulated with specific peptides, this formula acts in synergy to reduce the size and width of deep-set wrinkles and fine lines.
Backed by rigorous clinical studies the results have proven that deep wrinkles are minimized up to 44.9% in 60 days and fine lines up to 57% in 30 days, along with up to 19.5% improvement in elasticity and tone, up to 26.8% in superficial skin firmness, up to 33.25% in integral skin firmness, up to 26.7% in skin thickness and up to 16.67% in skin density.
AM: Smooth one or two pumps as needed onto face, neck and eye areas following the CH cleansing regimen. Allow to absorb completely before applying Moisture Lotion and Day Hydra-Seal.
PM: Apply prior to Moisture Lotion, Night Hydra-Seal and Eye/Lip Hydra-Seal.
I used this product religiously for years and loved how my face looked and felt. In an effort to save money I ventured away from the product to find something as good but less expensive. Don't waste your time! There is nothing even close to this "Magic in a Bottle" and it is worth every penny. I can't imagine my face without it!
Every time I use the Hydradermal Intensive Lift I feel 10 years younger. When I use it regularly as recommended I look 10 years younger. And I love the scent. Its citrus and sea breezes immediately transport me to Hawaii. So much in just two little squirts.

New Mexico was an astonishing place to visit… no amount of adjectives or Canon photographs is able to do it justice. What I observed from the plane, when I wasn’t nauseous from the bumpy descent, were vast plateaus, everywhere in the state, and virgin earth, untouched and unkempt—raw beauty. I found it surprising that a state like this could be inviting to a French vigneron who decided to lay it all down in the Land of Enchantment. On the second day of our visit to Albuquerque we were much closer to knowing some of the secrets behind the vision of the Gruet Winery.
We had it planned out fairly well. The four of us would drive three hours southeast, not too far from our host’s home, heading into barren land, planted in vineyards. Just nature and us. Plans are fluid and fickle for travelers though, and I was called after touching down on Friday and informed that not many, if any at all, were permitted to see the actual vineyards, this by a spokesperson from the winery. Jaded from visiting too many well-manicured tasting rooms across California, I was disappointed that we flew to New Mexico to see a tasting room. I bit my lip, and accepted our emended itinerary. I relayed the plans to my group and we crossed our fingers for an insightful and illuminating tour of the winery.
Less than a ten-minute drive from our friend’s dwelling, we arrived at the winery, the inner-workings responsible for producing some of the finest sparklers within the United States. Four in line, we spilled out of the car and filed into the tasting bar, a few minutes before the appointment. Greeted immediately, we let them know who we were—otherwise we had that look of four dudes ready to imbibe all the samples provided.
A young lady came out of the office, introducing herself as Lori Anne. She would be our guide, gauging our interest in the recommended activities she had planned (strictly tasting or touring the facility). We chose the latter and were escorted outside. We began our tour by a small row of vines that were planted in front of the winery and used as a barometer of ripeness for harvest. As we rounded the corner making our way to the loading dock, to our surprise, they were already knee-deep in juice, in the middle of a crush, and expecting more wine any minute.
We pushed inside spying the gyropalette cocked at different angles in the background, riddling off the lees (dead yeast cells) from previous vintages. In our foreground we watched the free running juice be collected after its press into large steel tanks. Continuing the tour through the bottling line, we walked through the finished cases that I was accustomed to seeing arrive on our wine shop’s loading dock back in LA.
Finishing the circuit, we had a glimpse into the history of Gruet, framed photographs tracing the line back to Gilbert Gruet and his family. Between, cousins, nephews, daughters and sons—it was a near total family affair.
The four of us sidled up to the bar and were poured through the reserve flight; those sparkling wines that had been aged on the lees, adding complexity and character. Both 2007’s, Blanc and Rosé, were nuanced but fresh, combining slight nutty flavors with bright fruit.
While we were poured the 2003 Gruet Grande Reserve, Lori Anne imparted to us a rendition of how the family had arrived in New Mexico (found here) and where Laurent—current winemaker—oversaw the family winery moving into a more determined future. The Grande Reserve was a tribute to the patriarch of the family, emanating complex aromas and flavors of golden apple, lemon zest, toasted brioche and hazelnut. The mouth feel was broad, refined and yet focused with long lasting flavors that resonated long after I swallowed the final sip—a busman’s holiday for tasting since spitting would be in order for a longer tasting. We concluded by tasting the still wines (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Syrah), though I wasn’t quick to move on from the attractively priced tête de cuvée, the Grande Reserve. The Syrah was an interesting trajectory on the future state of the winery.
The vision and chutzpah to start a sparkling wine house in New Mexico twenty-five years ago, let alone a successful one, is not lost on the visitor. A privileged look at the controlled madness of harvest, was enough to keep me from kvetching, and so I nearly forgot about the planned visit to the deliberately stressed out vines in the southern reaches of the state. We thanked our host and the winery for their hospitality. The visit had gone better than expected, cementing my admiration for truly great domestic sparkling wine in a state becoming more enchanting all the time.

How many episodes of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon have you seen?
After reading some of these awful reviews, I thought I might have accidentally pressed the The Tonight Show Starring Jay Leno. He was awful, they needed a fresh face and a person who could resurrect the Tonight Show to its previous greatness. They hired the right man for the job, Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy is an outgoing, nice, talented and a great guy. His sketches are very funny, the monologues are interesting and funny, and the interviews are great, but some of the interviews vary in funniness, depending on the guest. Fallon is always very respectful and nice to the guest. Leno was getting old and he wasn't funny, it wasn't because of his politics. Jimmy Fallon is a lot more engaging with guests and more talented then Jay Leno. Yes, Jimmy is liberal, but he doesn't showcase his political views and is usually very fair when making jokes about conservatives and liberals. And really you shouldn't decide whether you like someone or not, because of their political views. If you do, then you already dislike 60 million Americans. These reviews of Jimmy are rather unfair, and I think you should watch a couple of episodes and judge for yourself. If you like him, then you can go to bed with a smile on your face, if you don't, then you get an extra hour of sleep. For what I've seen, Jimmy Fallon will do a great job as the host of the Tonight Show. Also, (Steve) Higgens is great and hilarious. I expect Fallon to be on air for the next 20 years. Thank you for reading my review.
