Sharing more information about jute rugs and how popular are for bedrooms:
More and more, we find we're turning inward to our houses and offices as true havens on earth. Area rugs are a great addition to any room in your home or office and can transform a room from modern to traditional. It is even better if they are natural area rugs such as sisal, jute or sea grass. You can combine area rugs and custom rugs to elevate and customize the look of any room. Here are some inspirations we would like to share with you.
If you have an Oriental or a small vintage rug, layer it on top of a natural fiber rug. It gives an instant dimension to your office or home office.
A touch of modern simplicity is achieved when you use a natural fiber rug such as jute rugs. The monochromatic feel of white, cream and beige have a timeless effect that exudes casual elegance. Add a great chandelier or white slip covers are perfect home accessories to achieve modern simplicity with a twist.
There is reverence for the simple pleasure of living well and beautifully at home or at our work spaces. By paying greater attention to the finishing touches by adding area rugs we select to change our rooms into something uniquely our own, we become truly our happy selves.
It's back to school and what better way to start right than creating a room that would inspire you to study harder. With the right accents, your dorm would be your home away from home. Put a small area rug at the side of your bed or at your desk area to give that space its own personality. We recommend using seagrass rugs. These rugs can definitely add a stylish look and homey feel with minimal maintenance. We know that students need renewal after a busy day at school. Create an atmosphere in your dorm with the illusive ingredients of dreams and hopes!

How to make Necron Flayed ones and Immortals from Warriors.
aloha. Most know me from the Scenery forum , where I live, lurk and terrorize. I came up with a nifty idea to get around spending way too much money for pewter Models, while still fielding believable and good-looking models. Not sure if it's been done already, but to me, it's original! Two things my Necron army lacks, are Flayed Ones, and Immortals. Both of these are pure pewter lines and if anyone knows, these are some of the more expensive models in the necron Army.
This is a tutorial on how to make both of these types of Units from basic Warriors..
Yes, normal Necron Warriors. 12 Warriors and some scarabs are in this box. It will instead make 6 Flayed ones, and 6 Immortals!
First thing I did was find a box of these:
Basic Necron Warriors.
So I cut one of these Necron Warriors out and set him up:
Then I took the Knife to it. I cut the gun off from the one hand, and cut both legs from the pelvis:
This is how the pelvis normally sits on a model:
So when I reattached it to the legs, I tilted it like this:
I glued the legs back on in an approaching pose, and since the spine was tilted forward, the head had to be tilted up, (to look forward). I cocked it to the side to give it a more inhuman, more creepy feel.
Now for this next step, you could use anything. Greenstuff, other minis, even basic sprue bits. The right hand/fist from the gun arm is there, but the left hand is molded to the gun. We need to make a replacement for the left hand.
For myself, I fell into a huge collection of terrible, unused Heroclix© figures.
So I found a model within the box and cut myself a nice left hand/fist. A bit of drilling and some superglue and our new Flayed One-to-be has a left hand!
Next step, I cut some basic plastic card. 40mm worked here, but I guess you could go thinner, but the 40mm give the "fingers" some strength from being handled and stuffed in foam.
Rinse and Repeat six times, You will have yourself 6 Flayed ones. Don't forget to get some greenstuff and make the flayed skin on them!
Section 2. Now you have 6 warriors left, and 12 guns.. What can we do with that?
We can make 6 immortals is what!
Step one. Cut em free.
Next, grab that plasticard or thick card or whatever you want to simulate this part. I used .40mm plasticard. Cut yourself off a thin strip, maybe a 1/4 of an inch.
Make yourself two 1/4 inch squares from the card strip and then bend the two pieces like thus:
Glue those two strips on top of the warrior shoulderpads, and then move to the guns.
Take a solid arm/gun and one of the cut off guns from the new Flayed ones. Clip the one bottom-hanging pipe off the loose gun, then fit it atop the arm/gun combo. Make sure you file/cut down the molded left hand on the loose gun (the one on top)The guns won't fit together without removing this hand.
Once it's together, it should look like this:
When completed, it should look like this:
That's it! Rinse and repeat 6 times, with the remaining warriors and loose guns and you have yourself 6 Flayed ones and 6 Immortals. Plastic, cheap, and very WYSIWYG. Don't forget the greenstuff layed over the Flayed Ones for the human skin. How to? That's a different tutorial.
Sho'Nuff out.

first off LOL@signature.
secondly nice post, but how does the rods fit into the immortals I'm concerned cos it looks a little crooked at the end, or do you fix that when the rods are put in?
I think a little GS around the arms of the flayed and sharpening their claws would work wonders man, its amazing what a little knife action can do
very nice and informative though.
EDIT: and the 2nd flayed one looks the best out of the 2, the other looks a little confused on his feet, like he is taking his first steps.

Nice tute, thanks for tkaing the time to write it;Y.
That's exactly what I had in mind here.
Those ideas might not be new, but to my knowledge nobody bothered with making a tutorial for them before!
Thanks, Shonuff!
By the way - you save $61 and get three bonus Scarab Swarms per box of Warriors you buy to convert this way. Quite a bargain, eh?
Last edited by The Fifth Horseman; June 9th, 2008 at 10:02.
Yeah, Thanks guys, I had fun working out the steps and making them. I love modeling and scenery more than playing,and with GW being as expensive as it is, Still buying and using something of theirs in a new way to save me money, makes me feel less guilty.
Hope everyone enjoys the tutorial.
And OMGID, I did sharpen the one edge of the claws..more menacing.
Sho: out.
Rome wasn't built in a day, Either should good scenery.
I sort of meant to a fine point. but as long as you promised one side was done I'm happy.
Nice tut. I don't plan on using flayed ones anytime soon, but I've heard of this, albeit using the flayed one claws ordered from GW, which I don't think you can do anymore. Have you considered getting nid bits from thewarstore to use as claws instead? Just wondering.
The immortal conversion is kewl. I have a box of warriors I bought a while back just for this purpose ($10 each for METAL models??? Ya right!). I planned to do something very similar to this.
WOW! I'm still in awe of this tutorial. Thanks a ton! I just started necrons and was scared as crap to pay $100 for 10 immortals. I already have 1, but this gives me 6 more for $30! You sir are a GOD of the metal type Ctan ShoNuff in the next codex?
Any way to get this stickied or anything over in the Necron section? Maybe a link to it or something...great guide!

Skip to comments.'Honest' PBS Clinton Documentary Lies About the Economy
Posted on 03/01/2012 4:10:36 AM PST by Kaslin
Public Television touted the Bill Clinton documentary as a long-awaited warts-and-all piece. USA Today called the two-parter a "solid and even-handed account ... of a remarkably skillful politician with an immense intellect." While calling it "tedious and predictable," The Washington Post described the documentary as "honest."
In the first hour, the documentary stumbled out of the gate. If it were a racehorse, they'd have to put it down. The whopper we get hit with right away and again and again is this: Clinton inherited a recession -- not an economy that long ago came out of a recession. Never mind that 1993 -- 19 years ago -- is within the living memory of many Americans. Yet we are repeatedly told that Clinton entered office under a full-on economic meltdown.
The narrator says: "Heading into the fall (of l992) ... with the economy still faltering. ..."
The narrator later says, "As Clinton took office in the winter of 1993, the economic crisis that had propelled him into office showed few signs of abating."
Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin adds: "We had had a recession. We had high unemployment. And it was a lot of uncertainty about whether the United States was going to get on its feet again or whether we could be in for a prolonged period of real difficulty. So he came into a very difficult environment."
Journalist Joe Klein describes Clinton's first budget battle, in the late summer of '93, as a gamble "in the midst of a recession."
And midway through the piece, the narrator informs us that "by the fall of 1994, the economy was growing again."
This is simply extraordinary, mind-boggling.
Whether Bill Clinton was a good president, whether he deserves the credit for balanced budgets and projected surpluses or whether he should have been impeached are matters about which reasonable people can and do disagree. But whether Bill Clinton entered office "in the midst of a recession" and whether, in the fall of '92 and the winter of '93, the economy was "still faltering" and "showed few signs of abating" -- these are matters of fact.
The National Bureau of Economic Research in Cambridge, Mass., is the official keeper of the U.S. business cycle. It defines a recession as "a period of diminishing (economic) activity." It tracks when recessions begin (a "peak" -- the month when a period of economic growth ends and a downturn begins) and when recessions end (a "trough" -- the month when the downturn bottoms out and the economy begins to grow again).
Bill Clinton entered office in January 1993. According to the NBER, did he inherit a recession? Not even close. The recession began in July 1990 and ended eight months later, in March 1991 -- a full 19 months before Clinton was even elected.
Let's be charitable. Perhaps the documentary used a different definition of recession. True, some experts use another standard: two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth. But during Bush-41's last year in office -- 1992, the year voters elected Clinton -- the economy grew every quarter, averaging 3.2 percent.
But today, nearly two decades after the fact, the PBS narrator solemnly states that "as Clinton took office in the winter of 1993, the economic crisis that had propelled him into office showed few signs of abating" -- even though the economy was then on its 22nd consecutive month of positive growth!
Really? "In the winter of 1993 ... the economic crisis ... showed few signs of abating"? Jan. 29, 1993, seven days after Clinton took office, The New York Times wrote, "U.S. Says Economy Grew at Fast Pace in Fourth Quarter: The economy grew at a faster-than-expected annual rate of 3.8 percent in the final quarter of 1992, the strongest performance in four years, the Commerce Department reported today."
The confusion is understandable. Many in the media suffer from CRAP -- Clinton Recession Amnesia Problem. CRAP spares few victims. Take MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, who once said she knows little about economics and, bless her, seems determined to prove it. In January 2009, the month President Obama took office, Maddow said: "Clinton took the oath during an economic downturn, but that was a romper room compared to today's down-crash."
In October 1992, as President George Herbert Walker Bush ran for re-election against Bill Clinton, the economy was 18 months into a recovery. But as Investor's Business Daily noted, 90 percent of the newspaper stories on the economy were negative. Yet the following month, when Clinton defeated Bush-41, suddenly only 14 percent of economic news stories were negative!
Given the media recitation of the false history of the state of the 1992-1993 economy -- when Clinton entered office -- why expect PBS to get it right?
Historical revisionism occurs when someone challenges a conventional point of view. But the Clinton documentary -- as to the state of the economy he inherited -- is not historical revisionism. This documentary simply recites the "facts" as the traditional media see it: Clinton inherited a recession left by his Republican predecessor -- and that's that.
...wasn't it Lenin who said we will provide them the rope to hang us with?
Two things made the '90's economy boom- 1) The Internet, and 2) Gridlock caused by the GOP's massive wins in the 1994 election. With Congress effectively shutting Clinton's Socialist Agenda down, we all settled into 6 plus years of gridlock and "nothing got done"...which was fine by me.
I don't know the technical name for it, but George HW Bush lost his re-election bid because the economy sucked (before we knew what "sucked" really meant). I remember looking for work back then, and though I voted for Bush I wasn't surprised that he lost. The mood was very similar to that of Obama-McCain, in which the Repub seemed to lack ideas in front of people desperate for work (before we knew what "desperate for work" really meant).
"'We like your president. We want to see him reelected', former Chinese intelligence chief General Ji Shengde told Chinagate bagman Johnny Chung. Indeed, Chinese intelligence organized a massive covert operation aimed at tilting the 1996 election Clintons way."
The Idiot's Guide to Chinagate
By Richard Poe
May 26, 2003
CHINA WILL LIKELY replace the USA as world leader, said Bill Clinton in a recent Washington Post interview. It is just a matter of time. Clinton should know. He has personally done more to build Chinas military strength than any man on earth.
Most Americans have heard of the so-called "Chinagate " scandal. Few understand its deadly import, however. Web sites such as "Chinagate for Dummies" and its companion "More Chinagate for Dummies" offer some assistance. Unfortunately, with a combined total of nearly 8,000 words, these two sites like so many others of the genre offer more detail than most of us "dummies" can absorb.
For that reason, in the 600 words left in this column, I will try to craft my own "Idiots Guide to Chinagate," dedicated to all those busy folks like you and me whose attention span tends to peter out after about 750 words. Here goes.
When Bill Clinton took office in 1993, China presented little threat to the United States. Chinese missiles "couldnt hit the side of a barn," notes Timothy W. Maier of Insight magazine. Few could reach North America and those that made it would likely miss their targets.
Thanks to Bill Clinton, China can now hit any city in the USA, using state-of-the-art, solid-fueled missiles with dead-accurate, computerized guidance systems and multiple warheads.
China probably has suitcase nukes as well. These enable China to strike by proxy equipping nuclear-armed terrorists to do their dirty work, while the Chinese play innocent. Some intelligence sources claim that China maintains secret stockpiles of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons on U.S. soil, for just such contingencies.
In 1997, Clinton allowed China to take over the Panama Canal. The Chinese company Hutchison Whampoa leased the ports of Cristobal and Balboa, on the east and west openings of the canal respectively, thus controlling access both ways. A public outcry stopped Clinton in 1998 from leasing Californias Long Beach Naval Yard to the Chinese firm COSCO. Even so, China can now strike U.S. targets easily from their bases in Panama, Vancouver and the Bahamas.
How did China catch up so fast? Easy. We sold them all the technology they needed or handed it over for free. Neither neglect nor carelessness are to blame. Bill Clinton did it on purpose.
As a globalist, Clinton promotes "multipolarity" the doctrine that no country (such as the USA) should be allowed to gain decisive advantage over others.
To this end, Clinton appointed anti-nuclear activist Hazel OLeary to head the Department of Energy. OLeary set to work "leveling the playing field," as she put it, by giving away our nuclear secrets. She declassified 11 million pages of data on U.S. nuclear weapons and loosened up security at weapons labs.
Federal investigators [Cox Report] later concluded that China made off with the "crown jewels" of our nuclear weapons research under Clintons open-door policy probably including design specifications for suitcase nukes. Meanwhile, Clinton and his corporate cronies raked in millions.
In his book The China Threat, Washington Times correspondent Bill Gertz describes how the system worked. Defense contractors eager to sell technology to China poured millions of dollars into Clintons campaign. In return, Clinton called off the dogs.
Janet Reno and other counterintelligence officials stood down while Lockheed Martin, Hughes Electronics, Loral Space & Communications and other U.S. companies helped China modernize its nuclear strike force.
"We like your president. We want to see him reelected," former Chinese intelligence chief General Ji Shengde told Chinagate bagman Johnny Chung. Indeed, Chinese intelligence organized a massive covert operation aimed at tilting the 1996 election Clintons way.
Clintons top campaign contributors for 1992 were Chinese agents; his top donors in 1996 were U.S. defense contractors selling missile technology to China.
Clinton recieved funding directly from known or suspected Chinese intelligence agents, among them James and Mochtar Riady who own the Indonesian Lippo Group; John Huang; Charlie Trie; Ted Sioeng; Maria Hsia; Wang Jun and others.
Commerce Secretary Ron Brown served as Clintons front man in many Chinagate deals. When investigators began probing Browns Lippo Group and Chinagate connections, Brown died suddenly in a suspicious April 1996 plane crash.
Needless to say, China does not share Clintons enthusiasm for globalism or multipolarity. The Chinese look out for Number One.
"War [with the United States] is inevitable; we cannot avoid it," said Chinese Defense Minister General Chi Haotian in 2000. "The issue is that the Chinese armed forces must control the initiative in this war." Bill Clinton has given them a good start.

"As a globalist, [Bill] Clinton promotes "multipolarity" the doctrine that no country (such as the USA) should be allowed to gain decisive advantage over others."
From a 2003 Washington Post article:
"...a statement [Bill] Clinton made in February 2002, in which he told an audience in Australia, 'This is a unique moment in U.S. history, a brief moment in history, when the U.S. has preeminent military, economic and political power. It won't last forever. This is just a period, a few decades this will last.'
Clinton continued...
'In all probability, we won't be the premier political and economic power we are now' in a few decades, he said, pointing to the growth of China's economy and the growing economic strength of the European Union.
Whether the United States maintains its military supremacy, he said, depends in part on how much those other entities invest in their militaries, and Clinton said working cooperatively is essential to U.S. interests.
But he said he did not want to be misunderstood. 'I never advocated that we not have the strongest military in the world...I don't think a single soul has thought I was advocating scaling back our military.'

Clinton Predicts America's Decline:
PBS lying? Any Clinton lying? It's par for the course. PBS has long been the propaganda arm of the Left. Defund it.
"Honest" and "PBS" are two things that seldom go together.
Exactly and that is why Larry Elders has Honest is in quotes, in the title
Clinton did not inherit a recession. He came in just as the uptrending economic cycle started. There was 4% GDP growth the quarter before he was elected,more than Obama has been able to muster in his entire 3 years at the helm. When Clinton took over the economy stayed flat until the Republicans took charge of Congress 2 years later, reduced capital gains taxes over his objection and the stalled economy took off.I am surprised PBS did not also give Al Gore gain also for inventing the internet at that time and causing the technology economic boom.
The economy was actually getting better running up to the election. It was not reported until by the media until after the Clinton won. I remember Peter Jennings coming on TV the very next night to report it.
Also, Clinton NEVER won a majority in either election. If Ross Perot did not run and capture between 15%-19% of the vote GHW Bush would most definetly have won. He may have even been defeated by Bob Dole for his relection if Perot had not been a third party candidate.
People forget it was actually Newt and the republican controlled Congress that pushed through welfare and medicare reform against the scare tactics. I remember talking to an retirement age man who was convinced the republicans were going to take his medicare away.
However, Clinton was smart enough to see the trend and that if it was succesful he could take credit for it. If the sh#t hit the fan , he could blame republicans.
A reminder of how odious a person Clinton is. No matter how terrible and Communistic Obama is I still despise Clinton at least as much."Put a little ice on it".
Obama's doing similiar crap with the Russians and ChiComs (on nukes, missile defense, etc).
Obama Pledges Cuts in Missile Defense, Space, and Nuclear Weapons Programs
February 29, 2008 :: News
A video has surfaced of Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama talking on his plans for strategic issues such as nuclear weapons and missile defense.
The full text from the video, as released, reads as follows:
Thanks so much for the Caucus4Priorities, for the great work you've been doing. As president, I will end misguided defense policies and stand with Caucus4Priorities in fighting special interests in Washington.
First, I'll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq. I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end it.[not win it -etl]
Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.
I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.
I will not weaponize space.
I will slow our development of future combat systems.
And I will institute an independent "Defense Priorities Board" to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.
Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert [they are NOT on "hair-trigger alert" now -etl], and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.
You know where I stand. I've fought for open, ethical and accountable government my entire public life. I don't switch positions or make promises that can't be kept. I don't posture on defense policy and I don't take money from federal lobbyists for powerful defense contractors. As president, my sole priority for defense spending will be protecting the American people. Thanks so much.

2008 Pentagon Report (March 2008):
China's Growing Military Space Power
By Leonard David
Special Correspondent, SPACE.com
March 6, 2008
GOLDEN, Colorado A just-released Pentagon report spotlights a growing U.S. military concern that China is developing a multi- dimensional program to limit or prevent the use of space-based assets by its potential adversaries during times of crisis or conflict.
Furthermore, last year's successful test by China of a direct-ascent, anti-satellite (ASAT) weapon to destroy its own defunct weather satellite, the report adds, underscores that country's expansion from the land, air, and sea dimensions of the traditional battlefield into the space and cyber-space domains.
Although China's commercial space program has utility for non- military research, that capability demonstrates space launch and control know-how that have direct military application. Even the Chang'e 1 the Chinese lunar probe now circling the Moon is flagged in the report as showcasing China's ability "to conduct complicated space maneuvers a capability which has broad implications for military counterspace operations."
To read the entire publication [29.67MB/pdf], see U.S. Dept of Defense:
From the Sino-Russian Joint Statement of April 23, 1997:
"The two sides [China and Russia] shall, in the spirit of partnership, strive to promote the multipolarization of the world and the establishment of a new international order."
"Joint war games are a logical outcome of the Sino-Russian Friendship and Cooperation Treaty signed in 2001, and reflect the shared worldview and growing economic ties between the two Eastern Hemisphere giants."
Appeasement: From ObamaCare to recess appointments, honoring the Constitution has not been an administration hallmark. But when it comes to betraying secrets to mollify the Russians, it becomes a document the president hides behind.
It was bad enough that the 2012 defense authorization bill signed by President Obama set America on a downward spiral of military mediocrity.
He also issued a signing statement, something he once opposed, saying that language in the bill aimed at protecting top-secret technical data on the U.S. Standard Missile-3 linchpin of our missile defense might impinge on his constitutional foreign-policy authority.
Section 1227 of the defense law prohibits spending any funds that would be used to give Russian officials access to sensitive missile-defense technology as part of a cooperation agreement without first sending Congress a report identifying the specific secrets, how they'd be used and steps to protect the data from compromise.
The president is required to certify that any technology shared will not be passed on to third parties such as China, North Korea or Iran, that the Russians will not use transferred secrets to develop countermeasures and that the Russians are reciprocating in sharing missile-defense technology.

Your recollection is, as the article is trying to point out, shaped by the news media stories and headlines of 1992, when the LSM were vigorously promoting the election of Bill Clinton -- that's the point of the article.
The media lie, they lie from story selection to headline composition, from beginning to end, for political ends.
In 1992 the economy was beginning to recover (it was a famously weak recovery, though, as international capital began to offshore American prosperity), but the media refused to give Bush credit for it.
They are showing us a photonegative of that situation now, in which a far-worse economy than anything Bush 41 saw during the Gulf War downturn (precipitated by the Kuwait oil shock) is being happy-talked by everyone from the Fed (trying to forestall a bigger train wreck than the Great Depression) to the business press (in the tank for Bernanke) to the general MSM (in the tank for Obama).
As someone looking for work at the time, I can tell you (and maybe it was regional) our economy here in the northeast wasn't picking up. If it had been Bush would have won handily. Insiders claim the lack of a majority/mandate bothered Clinton a lot.
Perot redeemed himself 1) by being right when many dismissed his warnings - look at our economy today - and 2) by endorsing GW Bush as they were breaking the DWI story - it probably made a difference. In fact, Perot's 19% shows he was more than just a spoiler, and things were as bad as people thought. The Dems were paid back in 2000 by Ralph Nader, who actively dissuaded his supporters for supporting Gore ("not a dime's worth of difference"). He more than covered the 579 votes that would have delivered Florida (and the White House) to Gore.
My recollection is from job-hunting at the time; I've never bought the media line since my parents told me what is what as a child. Even today, Obama is in trouble because no matter what his media claims, the average person (read: voter) is in bad shape; they can fudge numbers, brag about a stock market (which is great if your income is solely generated by realizing gains on a huge equity portfolio - it really doesn't help the average person in the near term), they can even claim Obama can walk on water. As long as our devalued dollars buy less at the pump or supermarket, and as long as the real number unemployed people (and their social circles) can't be deceived into believing they're actually working, Obama is done.
Prior economic indicators have to be looked at differently than in the past; today a company's stock goes up when they lay off American workers and outsource work. Might be good for a sound-byte, but it is disastrous for American people "on the ground".
The unemployment rate is a "coincident indicator" which improves after leading indicators, like stock prices, building permits, manufacturers' new orders, vendor delivery times, new unemployment claims, etc., have already improved.
If you were looking for a first job or were young, jobs would still be scarce even as the economy had begun to improve.
Well, you're quite right, and I think he is in trouble -- with the 53% or whatever it is who haven't been bought yet. (And I don't know if the "bought" voters will stay bought: some 60's history from Louisiana elections suggest maybe they won't, if the social issues are on the GOP's side.)
But there is a residual benefit from nonstop, organized, edited-and-concordance-tested Big Lying, and that is that, the voter may decide that it's all lies, but still be demoralized by the thought that masses of other people believe it. Now there is your propagandist's true art, methinks, and the true inducement for JournoList-type lying.
The so-called surpluses were based on projected(bogus)returns on over-inflated values on just about everything....except reality.
The slick one was a fraud-master, but the current WH resident makes him look like an amateur.
I'm no fan of GW Bush, but am sick of hearing the "poor Obama inherited this mess"...blah blah garbage.
Using that twisted logic then...Bush inherited Clinton's mess....9/11(when was the FIRST attack on the Trade Center?), and the bursting of all the criminally engineered/inflated bubbles/ponzi schemes(perps more than likely Clinton cronies....for the most part).
Frankly I don't think the Clintons gave two shtz if Bush ate the eventual collapse, or Gore.
Obama's so-called "improving economy" is based on similar rigged data....while printing trillions to bail out old Clinton crooks, union hacks and Soros investments.
The bank robbery of the United States didn't start with the Clintons, but they accelerated it, now it's been put into high gear.
"Possibly what's at issue here are the "leading economic indicators" — the signs of economic health that point to recovery even before new jobs become more available."
I understand how that works, but with this latest round we have a "jobless recovery", and there was no reason to believe the same wouldn't happen 20 years ago.
"the voter may decide that it's all lies, but still be demoralized by the thought that masses of other people believe it."
An electorate that was desperate enough to elect Obama will be desperate enough to get rid of him; any Repub challenger should trounce him, nad he seems to know it (so they threw out the red herring of Repubs opposing contraception on principle, etc.). He has governed for 3 years with contempt for the average Joe, and now he thinks he'll play catch-up - but he has a LONG way to go.
When I say that the economy was picking up right before GHW Bush reelection bid, I mean that my business(the homebuilding market) was picking up. The homebuilding market has always been a leading indicator and precurser to the general economy picking up. It was back then and it is RIGHT NOW. Right now is the time to buy a house if you can.
After four plus years of doing nothing, building is picking up. Available new homes are at the lowest volume and the most affordable they have ever been. No matter what you hear from all the naysayers on this site who let politics cloud their judgement, the economy is getting better. This does not mean that Phoenix, Detroit and CA real estate are going to the moon. However, I can tell you from personal experience that a lot of markets are much better(TX, ND, SD MN, NH, MA , GA , WA ,IA, AL, CT, KY, NC, VA ,MD , LA , OR ,IN)
We sell into all these markets and their business is much better than last year and increasing.
Building might be picking up, but that doesn't necessarily mean the "housing market"; I believe a growing number of people who don't think they can afford children sure as heck aren't going to commit to a 30 year mortgage just to watch the government let their neighborhood become Tijuana North to prevent de-population.
A lot of young people will never be caught in the mortgage/property tax mire they see around them (if they'd even be lucky enough to qualify for a mortgage, or get a job). Make sure you can differentiate between a temporary "bump" and demographic trends at work for decades.
The demographic trends you are talking about are resulting in a higher percentage of multifamily housing than in the past 20 years. This is also a result of the aging of our population. However, these are still housing starts. We have 300 million people in our country. Our population continues to increase. All those people have to live somewhere.
You are correct in that a lot of people can not qualify to buy a home. That is why they are moving into apartments. Investors are building apt complexes to satisfy this increase in demand. Young people will change their mind about signing for a mortgage when the fear that the price is going up enters into the market.
Fear and greed drive all markets. People have been afraid that if they invest their money in real estate they will lose it. A lot of them got caught up in the last bubble and lost their shirt. They are gun shy. They bought high and sold low. The sheeple will be back when it is running up. The smart money is buying now. They are making offers when the banks are vulnerable and want to remove these bad assets from their balance sheets. I think we already saw a bottom in the market here in NH over this winter. The cheap house are selling fast, usually within 2 months. Some of the Fannie Mae opwned houses are selling as soon as they hit the market. Please remember that all real estate is local. What is happening in NH, ND or Houston may have nothing to do with what is happening in your local area. I have the benefit because of my business of seeing more of a national view.
Always fun debating with another FReeper :)
I always learn from these discussions.
As less people can (at least in their opinion) 1) afford children, or 2) bank on their job or field still providing a living for 30 years, there is simply no incentive to buy a home. Much of the growth in the areas doing well is the result of the wholesale abandonment of other areas by corporate America, and the best off are the unattached (in terms of family & mortgage) who can follow their jobs south. Here in NJ if you were given a house outright, you'd be coughing up nearly $1K per month (in some neighborhoods far more) just for your tax bill; this has resulted in people unable to retire until they can unload their heavily taxed homes on people who are hesitant to buy - the jobs that had made that acceptable in the past have left NJ (with the exception of cops & teachers, and even these are only safe if you've got seniority).
People have learned a lot in the past few years, and it would be difficult to convince them that they'll ever be "safe" in financial terms (relatively speaking).

NEW YORK (MainStreet) American workers are more productive than ever but aren't being rewarded for their efforts, according to a new initiative launched by the Economic Policy Institute, a liberal think tank.
"Between 1979 and 2013, productivity grew eight times faster than median worker pay," the EPI says in a report released in coordination with its "Raising America's Pay" project. "Americans are working harder, more productively, and with more education than ever, but are treading water, as an enormous and ever-increasing share of income growth goes to corporate profits and executive pay."
To illustrate the gap between productivity and pay, an EPI wage calculator takes a current salary and adjusts the annual pay to what it would be had the wage grown with productivity. For example, a $50,000 annual salary should be $73,400 had wages kept pace with productivity over the past 30 years.
"In the three decades following World War II, wages did rise with productivity and living standards improved throughout the income distribution," writes Elise Gould, director of health policy research at EPI. "Since then, however, the rewards to a growing economy over the last three-and-a-half decades have primarily accrued to those at the top (except for the period of tight labor markets in the late 1990s). Since 1979, the workforce is more educated, is working more, and produces more goods and services in every hour worked. And yet the vast majority of workers are not reaping the rewards of their increased productivity."The EPI analysis reports that American wages were in sync with productivity from 1948 until 1973. But during the period of 1979 to 2013, productivity grew 64.9%, while wages increased just 8.2%. Meanwhile, executive pay saw extraordinary gains during the same period, with the top 1% of earners seeing boosts in pay of 153.6%.

Wheeling Symphony to play in the holiday
An appearance by the Wheeling Symphony has become just as much a part of Weirton's Independence Day festivities as the community's parade.
For 23 years, the symphony has come to Weirton to provide an evening of entertainment for our residents, performing a variety of Americana and pop culture selections for the hundreds who gather.
That tradition will continue this Thursday at 7:30 p.m. as the symphony returns to the Weirton Event Center, brought back through the efforts of the Weirton Community Foundation and through contributions by local residents and businesses.
Each year, the Wheeling Symphony takes its show on the road to celebrate our nation's birth, and our area has been fortunate to be a part of that tour for so many years.
Joined this year by guest vocalist Donna Groom, this is sure to, once again, be a great event to be enjoyed by residents of all ages.
We thank the Wheeling Symphony for bringing their talents back to Weirton for this free community event, and encourage all of our area residents to come out and enjoy the evening.
Don't forget to stick around after, either, as the show will be followed by a fireworks display over downtown Weirton.
It is certain to be a great evening as we begin our Independence Day celebrations.

Reviews for Developing Indigenous Resources
Supporting good works has always been important to me, but it's hard to be certain that my money goes to help the people who need it, rather than line someone else's pockets. I KNOW money donated to DIR goes to help the people, because after hearing about the success of Dr. Shaw's projects, and seeing first hand the work in Janta colony, I volunteered to be the treasurer of DIR. The success of the work DIR does is unparalleled as far as I know, and is tremendous - in terms of lives saved and helped - any way you want to measure it.

My wife and I visited Janta Colony, Chandigarh, India two years ago. We were most imprissed with the bright and eager young people that Dr. Shaw was training to be health providers in their local districts. These people had been chosen by the residents of their districts. They had developed a sense of self worth and responsibility for care of the people in their district. Through their efforts, nutrition, immunization, and basic health probrams were being greatly improved. Since that time a school has been established for young children other educational programs have been greatly expanded. Dr. Shaw works tirelessly for these programs without any thought of personal financial gain.

Ikotos County was an administrative area in the Eastern Equatoria state of South Sudan with headquarters in the town of Ikotos. The people, who live in the former county's area by subsistence agriculture and cattle herding, are poverty-stricken. Years of civil war have made violence commonplace: most people have experienced the murder of a close family member. In 2009, AK-47 rifles were used in 42 per cent of killings.[1]
Ikotos county was in the south of Eastern Equatoria state, adjoining the Ugandan border to the south, Magwi county to the west, Torit county to the north, and Budi county to the east.[1] Ikotos was part of Torit county until 2004. The county is administratively divided into six payams, which are further sub-divided into bomas.[2] Payams are Chiahari, Ikotos, Ikwoto Central, Imotong, Lomohidang and Lomohidang North.[3]
The county contained the whole part of the Imatong mountains, which included the highest peak in Sudan, Mount Hinatie at 3,187 metres (10,456 ft). The mountains rise steeply from the surrounding plains, which are at an elevation of 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) on the South Sudan-Uganda border, sloping down gradually to the north. These plains are crossed by many streams, separated by low, rounded ridges, and dotted with small gneiss hills, outliers of the main mountain range.[4] The mountains are sharply faulted and are the source of many year-round rivers.[5]
Average annual rainfall in the mountains is about 1,500 millimetres (4.9 ft) The plains and the lower parts of the mountains are covered by deciduous woodland, wooded grassland and bamboo thickets to the north and west. The areas to the east and southeast are in the rain shadow of the mountains, with dry arid grassland or deciduous or semi-evergreen bush.[6]
In 2002 the Sudan Relief and Rehabilitation Association, the humanitarian wing of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement, estimated that the population was 67,340, including internally displaced persons.[2] An estimate of the population of the county in mid-2010 was 88,536 in 17,280 households, 90% engaged in agriculture. Total cereal harvested area was 14,774 hectares (36,510 acres).[7]
The county's area was home to the Lango people, who have a total population of 25,000 – 30,000 people in Ikotos and elsewhere, and speak dialects of the Lotuko language.[8] The Lango tribe has six distinct sub-tribes — the Lokwa, Dongotona, Ketebo, Logir, Lorwama and Imatong.[2] The Lango keep cattle and cultivate millet, melons, sweet potatoes, beans, bananas, tobacco.[8] The Dongotona live in dense settlements, cultivate sorghum, groundnuts, simsim, telebun, and sweet potatoes, and keep large herds of cattle, sheep and goats.[9]
Cattle play a central role in social life, used in contracting marriages and performing rituals, and exchanged as gifts. The tribes have always indulged in cattle raiding, particularly during the dry season when the grass is short and cattle can be moved faster. There have always been conflicts between the tribes, notably in the Kidepo valley, using the traditional weapons of spears and sticks. In the past, the number of lives lost was limited, and peace would soon be made through formal ceremonies.[2]
The people of the region live by subsistence agriculture, mostly growing sorghum and millet, and livestock raising.[1] 90% of the agricultural work is undertaken by women using hand tools. Crops are generally rain-fed, with no irrigation, making them vulnerable to reduced rainfall or drought in either of the two growing seasons.[10] Fishing, natural resource exploitation, mining and trade are practiced in a small way. The people live in extreme poverty with no rights of land tenure, and chronic insecurity. There is no infrastructure and no legal framework to make investment practical.[1]
Colonial era[edit]
Little is known of the Lango country before the arrival of Europeans. The explorer Samuel Baker was the first European to visit the region, travelling in the northwest and west of the area in 1863. He visiting Tarrangolle (Tirangore) and observed unnamed mountains to the south. Later he passed through these mountains, the western Acholi range of the Imatongs. Baker formally annexed the region around the upper Nile for the Khedive of Egypt in 1871.[6] In 1878 Emin Pasha was appointed Bey of Equatoria, then nominally under Egyptian control, with his base at Lado.[11] In 1881, Emin Pasha made a trip from Gondokoro on the Nile to Tirangore, and from there travelled south along the eastern side of the Imatong mountains along the valley of the Koss River, past the village of Ikotos and then southwest to the Nile.[6] Emin Pasha was cut off from Egypt by the revolt of Muhammad Ahmad in the northern Sudan, which began in 1881, and in 1885 withdrew to the south.[11]
Chief Lomoro Xujang was ruler of the Lotuko of Tirrangore from 1892, and extended his authority over all the Lotuko people and their neighbors. He cooperated with the Ugandan government, which sent Colonel (Later Major General) J.R.L. Macdonald on a patrol into his country, and which later set up a post at Ikotos. Xujang aroused opposition for his dictatorial ways, and was assassinated in 1912.[12] Following the defeat of Muhammad Ahmad in 1898, the region came under the British Protectorate of Uganda in 1899. In 1914 it was transferred to the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan.[6]
The first rough topographical map was published in 1917 by H. Pellew-Wright, a District Commissioner of Uganda who crossed the Imatong mountains from northeast to southwest, but the official map of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan in 1922 only showed the outlines of the Imatong mountains in the heart of present-day Ikotos county. In 1929 the botanist Thomas Ford Chipp, then deputy director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, reached the peak of Kinyeti. The same year he published a report on the flora with several photographs. The first detailed map appeared in 1931. The region remained isolated and underdeveloped. Sudan became independent in 1956, but a year earlier civil disturbances had broken out in the southern regions that did not want to come under control of the Arab-dominated government in Khartoum.[6]
Civil war years[edit]
Ikotos was relatively untouched by the fighting in the First Sudanese civil war (1955–1972).[2] During the Second Sudanese civil war (1983–2005) large areas of Eastern Equatoria State were ravaged by fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA), and by many armed groups supported by both sides.[1] In the late 1980s many Lango civilians were displaced to camps in government-controlled areas including Torit, Juba and Khartoum, and others to refugee camps in Uganda and Kenya.[2] The SPLM was not always united. For example, the Nuer leader William Nyuon Bany defected from the SPLM mainstream in September 1992. He withdrew his forces from Pageri towards the SPLA headquarters at Magwi, which he attacked and captured. In early 1993 Nyuon captured Ikotos, holding several women hostage before turning them over to Ugandan authorities.[13] Control of Ikotos changed hands several times. In November 1993 Nyuon was again attacking SPLA troops around Ikotos.[14] The influx of SPLA fighters and government troops led to a sharp rise in the number of guns available, and to their use in cattle raids and murders. Ambushes, rapes and killings by tribesmen armed with Kalashnikovs or even rocket launchers became common through the 1990s and into the 2000s.[2]
The security problem was compounded by the presence of the Ugandan rebel group, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), notorious for killing, looting for food, destroying property and abducting women and children.[2] In 1986 the government of Sudan had started to provide arms, training and sanctuary for the LRA, who began to raid and plunder villages along the Sudan – Uganda border. In February 1993 a major shipment of arms arrived in Kitgum, Uganda, for transit to the SPLA in Ikotos. In return, the SPLA began to help Uganda in their ineffectual attempts to suppress the LRA.[15]
Over 400 people were massacred by the LRA in the Imotong area in the west of Ikotos county in March 2002. Faced with this threat, the people refused to hand over their guns, which they needed for self-defense.[2] In May 2002 the area around Ikotos was a no-go zone for aid workers. The steep, gully-filled and densely forested mountains provided a natural haven for remnants of the LRA.[16] After the LRA clashed with the Uganda People's Defence Force in October 2002, Uganda closed the road being used by aid workers to carry supplies from Kitgum to Ikotos.[17]
In May 2003 the Imatong and Ikotos districts, then in Torit County, reported 178 suspected cases of Yellow Fever and 27 deaths.[18] On a positive note, during this period Norwegian Church Aid made a significant contribution with the Ikotos County Education Centre, which trained 120 teachers in 2004 and 2005.[19]
Post war[edit]
An uneasy peace between the SPLA and government of Sudan was established in January 2005. The region suffered from an outbreak of Cholera in the first half of 2006. The village of Ikotos reported 3,359 cholera infections and 103 deaths out of its population of 8,000. Aid workers were at risk of being ambushed and killed by the LRA.[20] The LRA finally withdrew from the county in April 2007.[21]
The local authorities started to tighten up gun controls. However, by May 2006 an estimated ten people per day were being killed.[2] On 14–18 May 2006 the community leaders in the county came together for a peace and reconciliation meeting. They signed a declaration committing to eliminate all obstacles to the unity of the six Lango tribes and set up a task force to implement recommendations for keeping the peace.[22] The prolonged violence has disrupted families, destroyed trust and has often created a passion for vengeance. Economic growth has been minimal, even compared to neighboring counties such as Budi, and many people have failed to obtain a formal education.[2]
The violence did not cease with the ending of the war. Continued violent crimes included ambushes to obtain firearms, cattle raids to obtain bride price, and retaliatory raids to obtain revenge. In November and December 2009 a survey was conducted of almost 2,400 households in the adjacent Torit, Magwi, and Ikotos counties. Results showed high levels of violence throughout the region, but particularly in Ikotos. 63% of households in Ikotos said they owned a firearm. Actual numbers may be much higher, with all households possessing at least one firearm and some as many as eight. The main security providers were said to be traditional leaders (90%), followed by neighbors (48%), religious leaders (38%), police (27%) and the SPLA (6%). This indicates massive distrust of the security forces which are considered both corrupt and weak. Almost one third of the Ikotos respondents said there had been an incident of crime or armed violence against one of their household members in the last year, 47% of these being killings.[1]
In 2007 the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) implemented an emergency response project that provided food, agricultural tools, crop seeds, and non-food items to refugee returnees, Internally Displaced People (IDPs) and the resident communities in Ikotos country. The project also helped local government authorities to build their capacity, and constructed boreholes and schools. Between April 2007 and March 2008 an estimated 3,700 IDP households and 12,000 refugee returnee households moved to Ikotos, some assisted by the UNHCR, and numbers were expected to increase.[21]
Conditions for returnees have been difficult, in some cases much harder than in the IDP camps. Despite help from charities, returnees faced difficulty obtaining seeds, and then faced the normal problems of drought or excess rain.[23] In September 2009 the Food and Agriculture Organization published a mid-season crop and food security assessment for Southern Sudan. It reported that a prolonged dry spell from late April until July and erratic rainfall had caused the first season harvest to fail completely in parts of Ikotos and other parts of Eastern Equatoria, and farmers had lost hope in the second season crop. The most affected areas included Lomohindang South, Losite, and parts of Imatong and Lomohindang North in Ikotos.[10]
The Ikotos Teacher Training College opened in March 2010, with the capacity to train, house and feed 50 teachers, a joint project of the charities All Nations Christian Care and World Emergency Relief.[24] In September 2010 Ikotos County Commissioner Peter Lokenge Lotone stated that there had recently been a decrease in violence, attributing the improvement to cooperation between county authorities and the youth, women, elders and chiefs in catching thieves.[25] In January 2011 leaders of the Lango communities gathered in Torit for a three-day reconciliation meeting that had been organized by the Lango of Juba, aiming to restore unity following disputes in the past year's elections. The leaders also passed a resolution to eliminate cattle rustling, in part by launching vocational training institutions for youths of the county.[26]
In the January 2011 referendum on independence in Ikotos county five votes were cast for unity with northern Sudan while 57,041 were cast for secession as a separate state of South Sudan.[27]

The 12-year-old boys at Oakridge Middle School in Lake Wylie accused seventh grade math teacher Chris Petrasek of spanking them earlier this year.
Clover schools' policy does now allow the use of corporal punishment. The students said the spankings were punishment for getting a low grade, missing a question or talking out of turn.
School spokesman Mychal Frost says Petrasek is on administrative leave with pay.
The 48-year-old teacher also coaches wrestling. He's been a teacher in the district since 2007.
It was unclear if he has an attorney.

MADISON, Alabama – Bobby DeNeefe was 19 years old, a sophomore at Spring Hill College in Mobile, when he was given the opportunity of a lifetime.
Would he, a good friend asked, be willing to act as chauffeur for a week for an internationally famous woman visiting Alabama?
DeNeefe agreed, and spent a week in June of 1960 driving a massive Cadillac sedan – "They were as big as whales back then" – with Tina Onassis in the backseat.
"She was a beautiful lady," DeNeefe recalled. "She was very nice. I thought it was very exciting. She was very well dressed and she had a diamond ring that was like a headlight."
Tina, who was born Athina Mary Livanos and married Aristotle Onassis in 1946 when she was only 17, was in Alabama to divorce her famous shipping magnate husband, who was having a well-known affair with American-born opera singer Maria Callas.
At the time, Alabama was known as a divorce-mill state, due to the abolition of a law in 1945 that created a loophole in the law regarding establishing a residence. The glitch allowed people to divorce in Alabama by staying only one day or, in some cases, giving a false address.
Many celebrities divorced in Alabama from 1945 to 1970. The story of the divorce mill was featured in last week's Odd Travels.
Although Charles Addams, creator of the Addams Family, and John Daly, host of "What's My Line?" were among those who divorced in Alabama, Tina Onassis was arguably the most famous and likely the wealthiest.
DeNeefe, who rarely spoke of his days chauffeuring the heiress while others involved were still alive, said recently he was paid $1,000 for that week's work, more than three times his monthly salary of $300 working at a business supply store while he attended college.
"It was a huge amount of money at the time," he said.
Hear Huntsville writer Jane DeNeefe's Spoken Word recollection of her father's time as Onassis' chauffeur here.
Bobby DeNeefe was offered the job by his good friend Pierre Pelham, Tina's attorney, who was a graduate of Harvard Law School and would go on to become president pro tem of the Alabama Senate.
Pelham died in 2009 and is buried in Chatom Cemetery in Washington County. DeNeefe said Pelham was well-known in international circles and it was likely a Harvard connection that put Tina in touch with him.
Pelham took pains to make sure Onassis' residency was well established and not fabricated.
"She stayed in Mobile about a week," DeNeefe said. "She rented a penthouse apartment in Creighton Towers. She paid a year's rent in advance." At the time, Creighton Towers was a luxury complex on Springhill Avenue, he said.
In addition, DeNeefe and Pelham took Onassis to the Mobile Public Library.
"We got a library card," he said. "We took her to Dauphin Island and bought her a lot. Then we took her to Washington County and in about five minutes, she was divorced."
The divorce was granted by Circuit Judge William Lindsey in Chatom, who at the time told the Associated Press she "met the requirements, in my opinion, under Alabama law."
Tina, who had two children with Onassis, married twice more but died at age 45 in 1974. Her children would also die young: Alexander in a plane crash in 1973 at age 24 and Christina in 1988 at age 37 of heart disease. After Tina's death, her Alabama divorce was recalled in an Associated Press story.
DeNeefe, a Mobile native and seventh generation Mobilian, transferred to the University of Alabama his junior year and came to Huntsville after his graduation in 1962.
"When I got out of school 1962, no one could get a job in Mobile," he said. "There was a total depression down there."
So he took a job at what would become First National Bank.
"I loved Huntsville," he said. "It was totally different from stodgy old Mobile."
DeNeefe stayed in the banking industry in North Alabama and now works as president of the Madison branch of Reliance Bank.
At age 72, he is nowhere near retiring.
"I feel people need to get up and get shaved and put on a necktie and go to work," he said with a laugh.

What worked for me? Don't know because it was an accumulation of things. Here's the chronology.
Sight singing in high school. Playing tunes by ear (also in HS). Sight-singing and ear training, systematically in college and with added concentration on chord progressions. More playing by ear, this time including playing along with recordings. Gradual eye-ear association by conducting and also transcribing. Eventually, I got to a point where I could sight-sing and take dictation of atonal music.
Sorry, I can't break it down for you.

Comments about Hewlett Packard 4X6 Advanced Glossy Photo 100 Count:
I printed out multiple pictures at once just last night. The ink did not smear, it's instantly dry, and the photos look awesome. I will definitely buy this paper again.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This paper appears to be incompatible with my HP Office jet Pro 8620 as the slick back of the paper does not allow it to advance when the printer tries to pick it up. Poor product planning HP.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I do a lot of scrapbooking and this photo paper produces excellent photos. I would gladly recommend this product to any one wanting great copies of pictures. Price is great and shipping is quick.

Advanced Does Not Produce Like Premium
By YaaNJ

For years I have gotten perfect results with HP PREMIUM PHOTO PAPER-Glossy (Q5477A). Excellent, True Color with no adjustments!! Hewlett Packard changed the packaging on their papers and I selected ADVANCED PHOTO PAPER to my utter disappointment!!!! The color has an "overcast darkness". My project is delayed for now.....and money wasted. If purchased through HP, they would have replaced or refunded. I did not. IF YOU ARE USED TO USING HP PREMIUM PHOTO PAPER-Glossy, THE COMPARABLE PRODUCT IS PREMIUM PLUS PHOTO PAPER......not Advanced.
great value for money

Only Photo paper and supplies I use is HP
Advanced Photo Paper Impressive
By TechieGeezer
My wife printed directly from her iPad to our HP 7520 printer using 5 X 7 HP Advanced Photo Paper. The automatic printer settings feature of the paper worked beautifully. I was very impressed with the quality of the photos. The photos looked every bit as good as the ones I print from my desktop using Photoshop software. We received the photo paper the day after ordering, using the free FedEx overnight delivery. Great service!
