JERUSALEM (AP) — The spiritual leader of an Israeli ultra-orthodox political party was hospitalized after a suspected minor stroke in Jerusalem on Saturday, a development that could shake his party's fortunes and mute one of Israel's most influential voices.
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, 92, is conscious and in a stable condition, Hadassah hospital spokeswoman Etti Dvir said, adding that doctors had requested he remain in the facility for several days for observation and further checks. She did not provide further details on his ailment.
The enigmatic, Baghdad-born Yosef is the chief spiritual adviser of the Shas party, which represents Israeli Jews of Middle Eastern descent. His followers consider his decisions as binding religious law — rare discipline in Israel's otherwise fragmented political landscape.
Israeli media reported he was rushed to Hadassah hospital after collapsing during morning prayers in a synagogue on Saturday morning.
Dr. Yuval Weiss of Hadassah told reporters Saturday night that the rabbi "likely had a very mild stroke."
"He is conscious and fully communicating with those around him," Weiss said. "I hope he can return home in a few days," he said.
Yosef's influence reaches beyond the party, which holds 10 seats in the 120-seat Israeli parliament. Comments from the rabbi, with his trademark turban, gold-embroidered robes and dark glasses, have cast a pall over political debates ranging from whether ultra-Orthodox Jews should be conscripted into Israel's military, to war and peace with Palestinians.
He is known for his fierce statements that have offended widely disparate segments of society, including Holocaust survivors, gays, Palestinians and secular Jews.
The rabbi said during a sermon in August 2010 that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas should "perish from the world" and described Palestinians as "evil, bitter enemies of Israel." He later apologized for the remarks.
In 2007, he said that Israeli soldiers died in battle because they were not religious enough and said the victims of Hurricane Katrina in the U.S. suffered "because they have no God."
In 2008, Shas under his direction forced new elections by refusing to remain in the government after then-prime minister Ehud Olmert resigned.

This is a beautiful lamp, purchased for my mother. She absolutely loves it. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was not because of the lamp but because the assembly instructions missed a key piece. The good news is that some of the instructions are irrelevant because it came already fairly "assembled". However, when the instructions say to screw in the connecting pieces, they fail to tell you that if you screw them all the way in, there is not enough left on the bottom of the lamp to fasten the base on. They don't tell you how much to leave out and there is no built in "stop" so it is trial and error (and a little measuring). And one of the connections was hard to get in and once in, was difficult to unscrew when we realized it was in too far. But if you know that going in, you will have no problems. Again - a good quality, beautiful lamp that with the proper assembly instructions should not take long to assemble.
Love this. Very sturdy with 2 young boys. Looks better than on the website. Took some time putting together but nothing too bad.
I just got this lamp and put it together. This lamp is a very nice looking piece. It looks great in my living room and looks even better when lit at night. Very pleased. The only issue is that you can fully screw the bars in because you need enough thread left at the bottom of the lamp to secure the nut and washer. If you buy the lamp you will know what I mean. It just made putting it together a little frustrating.
Lamp was difficult to assemble. When assembled, it wouldn't stand straight, leaned backward. Like previous reviews stated, it is difficult to put together. It leaned because the base and rods don't fit together properly. I returned this lamp and received my money back promptly
I was very excited about this lamp as it is perfect for our bedroom in our new house. When I began unpacking the box I realized that this had been returned by someone else and then repacked and shipped to us. The bottom felt piece was missing and the top finial on the shade was drilled wrong and was lopsided when screwed on. My husband who is an engineer and very handy assembled it and complained about the difficult assembly. Unfortunately I was unable to return because it was for our vacation home and by the time Overstock got back to me to tell me the missing part and the finial that was mis-drilled were unavailable we were back at our permanent home and I was unable to ship it back to them. To Overstocks credit they were very pro-active and tried to help, but at this point it was too late. They did give me a small credit on the lamp so I will have to try to find a replacement for the damaged finial.
Had hoped the floor lamp would be more steady than it is. Still looks good though and I wanted a 3 way bulb for dark space.
Glass was scratched very badly. Took two hours to put together because parts don't fit in correctly. We called for a return.
I ordered the floor lamp and the matching table lamp. Was so disappointed with the quality that I had to return them both. The floor lamp is difficult to put together. The rods that connect the two rectangular pieces were rusty and the two rectangular pieces that make up the height of the floor lamp were warped and poorly made. I must say that the lampshades were beautiful but could not hide the fact that these lamps were cheap and not worth the money. Don't be tempted as I was. It is a major headache to pack these lamps up after you remove them from the boxes. Overstock customer service was great. I dropped them off at UPS and am now waiting for reimbursement.
This is a nice contemporary floor lamp. I like the design. It looks good with our bronze leather sectional in our TV Room. Poor construction. The base nuts and bolts stick out and it makes the lamp stand uneven on the floor making it tilt and wobble. We have done every thing but glue it to the floor. We should have returned it. But once again I guess "you get what you pay for"....
Really nice lamp, good and strudy. However, I have a problem with the 3 way lighting system on this lamp. It doesn't go from bright, to brighter, to brightest. It stays on one lighting only and that is on the second click. Other than than that its a really nice floor lamp.

Congratulations to the HMS 8th grade band for being selected as one of ten groups to perform at the State Capitol during "Music Education Week at the Capitol"! They performed on Friday, March 6th.
The 8th grade band went through an audition process during the first week of the second semester for a chance to play at the Capitol. During this process, they pushed themselves to perform at a high level. They knew going into it that they were going up against other bands, choirs, and small groups from all-over Nebraska and that the judges could only fill ten spots for this event. Kudos to all of the students and their instructor for their hard work in preparing and being selected for this event!
Thursday, March 5th, Mr. Hurt (HHS Industrial Technology), took a team of students to the GMAW Welding Competition in Beloit, KS. The team finished in 2nd place and individually, Zack Stobl took 2nd place, Tanner Cline took 9th place, and Braden Schumm took 19th place. There were 38 teams and 109 individual welders! Congratulations!
Students and teachers stayed on campus and had the opportunity to experience the IT departments of global corporations, meet women professionals who are engaged in IT, visit the behind-the-scenes of local attractions and even go to a Maverick hockey game. The days were packed with dinners with IS&T students, staff and faculty, panel discussions with women in the field, as well as lunch with an IT mentor.
Kaila was one of 30 chosen out of a field of 110 applicants to participate in this event. The applicants came from 53 schools in 36 different communities in Nebraska and Iowa.

getting ready for winter
I'm a happy camper: today Dr. Carolyn's 100 Heirloom Tomatoes book arrived, along with Lee Reich's Unusual Fruits and his Pruning Book, and a couple of books about pre-contact Native American agriculture, AND the Seed Savers Exchange catalog AND the Tomato Growers Supply catalog. It was a pretty chilly day today, so thoughts of winter (garden PLANNING season) have been going through my head....
I can afford to be happy, despite the fast-approaching end of the 2004 growing season, since I didn't actually grow anything in 2004 -- I only moved from apartment to house 2 months ago. I suppose I could have grown some things starting in August, but, well, I didn't. So there. I'm looking forward to killing off some grass over the winter so I'll have beds to work with next Spring! My favorite market farmer says he will keep showing up till Christmas. Wow!
AND the Seed Savers Exchange catalog AND the Tomato Growers Supply catalog.
And then in a few months you'll have to request the new 200 5 catalogs for both of those places to see the new stuff being offered.
I know the public SSE seed catalog is being worked on right now b/c I'll be reviewing the tomato section in the next couple of days as soon as I receive the hard copy . And the TGS 2005 catalog usually comes out in mid to late Nov/early Dec.
And of course their new 2005 websites will also be up near the same time the new catalogs are mailed.
Will you be specializing in any particular heirloom vegetables or fruits?
New houses and new gardens are just plain exciting. And will look forward to seeing you in the various specialty forums such as tomatoes, vegetables, etc, where specifics are discussed.
My main focus will be fruit, so the center of the (1/2-acre) yard will be mostly given over to trees and the larger shrubs. Veggies will take up most of the borders (gradually, over a few years), mixed in with some flowers and smaller fruiting shrubs or vines.
I'm excited about apples, there are some nursery-orchards with literally hundreds of varieties to choose from. I will definitely try maybe 6 or a dozen tomatoes, a few different corn, some eggplant, beans, squash, melons, lettuces and other greens. I'd like parallel arbors on each side of the house where the front yard meets the back: grapes on one, kiwi on the other.
I'm especially tickled about native foods, especially not-so-well-known ones, like pawpaws and juneberries, and I like the idea of being a part of preserving all the wild diversity of unpatented foodstuffs. It'll be little by little, though, as time permits between full-time work and grad school. But I can dream out the whole lush, thriving, bountiful thing already!

Recent reviews:
February 27, 2014 - loved it!
June 1, 2013 - I was very excited to get my bracelet! However, after I wore it a couple of times, I was disappointed to find that it was hard to adjust without the help of someone else and that it stretched out and is wearing out very quickly. I love the design and the little circle but it's not worth the price.
May 15, 2013 - I was excited about getting this bracelet but was so disapointed when it ended up being so big it wouldn't stay on my wrist and I couldn't get it to adjust! I am trying to make my own because I realy like the circle.
Artisan: Kiej de los Bosques
"We dream of an ideal world -- one where everyone lives in harmony, where diversity is celebrated, and where rights and responsibilities are treasured. These aspirations encourage us to find solutions in which prosperity and well-being are common to everyone." ~Maria Pacheco
Kiej de los Bosques, a fair trade enterprise founded by Cornell University graduate Maria Pacheco, collaborates with five rural artisan groups throughout Guatemala. A strong focus on community development, social entrepreneurship, and fair wages has vastly improved the lives of its eighty women artisans and their families.
Before they joined Kiej de los Bosques, these artisans had no market outlet for their work and no way to generate income. Most live in very small villages where there are no jobs, and many were forced to leave their children behind to take work in larger cities. For them, the income generated by Kiej de los Bosques is a dream come true, an opportunity to keep their families together and to send their children to school for the first time.
Located in the tiny village of San Lorenzo Pastores, Concepcion became Kiej de los Bosques's first artisan group in 2006. Economic opportunities were slim in the village then, and an important nutrition program was coming to an end -- jeopardizing the very health of the children. Local moms came together to find a solution, and Concepcion was born. The group has become very successful making and selling jewelry, and their families' lives have improved markedly. Inspired by their success and eager to apply their new business skills, Concepcion has opened a bakery and convenience store. "It has taken a lot of effort to start a business, but now, everybody in the village admires us," says group member Matilde. "We have been able to start something, that today is small, but in the future is going to be something really big. We know we still have to make a lot of sacrifices and work hard, but we are happy, because we can see the results every day."
The Monte Redondo group resides in Guatemala's central area, about 20 km from Guatemala City. Despite their close proximity to a large urban area, the community was as isolated as any in the remotest jungle. Twenty women artisans now belong to the group, supplementing their husbands' meager incomes. Group leader Sandra Solares puts it this way: "Kiej de los Bosques is a dream come true for my community. I feel satisfied to be the bridge that makes it possible for women in my community to generate income; this not only makes them feel important, but also helps them provide a better life to their kids. For me, Kiej de los Bosques is the force that gives me the opportunity to keep studying my communication career at the university."
These artisans were trained under the former First Lady of Guatemala's "Creciendo Bien" project, a program that teaches jewelry-making skills to underprivileged women. The artisans had the skills to produce lovely pieces, but had no way to get their work to market. They became a Kiej de los Bosques group in 2006, producing some of the organization's earliest collections -- earning a substantial income for the first time. Now, Dona Adela, the leader of the group, conducts ongoing training workshops. Her attitude is an example of great leadership: "We are very excited because we have good benefits, that is why we enjoy producing so much, a little piece of our heart goes in every product: Because we feel happy to have a job!"

Brown Deer has hired Robert C. Willis, a law enforcement instructor, trainer and consultant, to review the Police Department's numerous interactions with Zina and Radcliffe Haughton, Village Manager Russell Van Gompel announced in a news release today.
Radcliffe killed his estranged wife, Zina, and two other women, and injured four more at the Azana Salon and Spa in Brookfield on Oct. 21 before taking his own life.
The Brown Deer Police Department has since come under scrutiny for failing to arrest Radcliffe after a number of domestic abuse incidents. An Oct. 30 letter signed by 12 Wisconsin lawmakers calls for an external audit of the Brown Deer Police Department's interactions with the Haughtons.
"In the interest of getting an unbiased evaluation of the facts and law enforcement standards relevant to the Village of Brown Deer Police Department's contacts with the Haughtons, we have hired Wisconsin Law Enforcement Instructor Robert C. Willis to conduct an independent review of all contacts with the Haughtons", Van Gompel said in the release. "We have instructed Mr. Willis that he has no restraints on the scope or depth of his review."
Willis has served as a patrol officer, SWAT team member, and in a number of training positions. He is currently a part-time patrol officer in Milwaukee County, is a Deputy Sheriff in Brown County, and works as a full-time instructor and trainer at the Northeast Wisconsin Technical College Tactical Training Complex.
Willis' report will be made public at the conclusion of his review.

Though Capcom's Resident Evil series achieved legendary status by the late 1990s, both it and the survival horror boom that it spawned haven't been quite as popular in the past couple of years. However, Asylum Entertainment is not following the prevailing trends. The small British developer, best known for a handful of kid-friendly PlayStation games like Powerpuff Girls: Chemical Xtraction and Teletubbies: Play With the Teletubbies, has just released a very adult survival horror game for the Xbox called Curse: The Eye of Isis. Despite the company's lack of experience with this sort of game-making, and a few noteworthy miscues, the designers have traced the footsteps of Resident Evil as carefully as a chiropodist. This leaves the end result without even the tiniest smidgen of originality, though it is a convincing memorial to a classic genre.
Curse veers outside the lines just enough to stave off Raccoon City déjà vu. Stereotypes--like genetic experimentation gone wrong--have been exchanged for an Egyptian theme that combines a Victorian penny dreadful with The Mummy series of movies (the ones starring Brendan Fraser). The year is 1890, the place is the Museum of Great Britain, and the mystery involves a gang of thugs who are out to steal a statue called the Eye of Isis. You play as Darien Dane and Victoria Sutton, who are childhood friends that met in the land of the pharaohs while their parents were supervising archaeological digs. Just before a reunion takes place during a private showing of the Eye, something strange happens involving the relic and the death of a custodian. As a result, Darien then sneaks into the locked museum and begins to investigate.
Unfortunately, what initially seems like a fresh take on an old standard goes nowhere new. This may be the first use of Egypt as a survival horror plot device, but the cursed Eye of Isis is best at--wait for it--animating zombies. And mummies that act like zombies in rags. You spend the entire adventure shooting, beating, and flamethrowing the undead back to the grave, looking for keys to locked doors, and grabbing health power-ups. What few puzzles have to be solved are simplified by a gleam that spotlights important objects. If you've got the gray matter needed to use a controller to play this game, you can effortlessly solve the puzzles.
The only significant change to the Resident Evil formula is an Indiana Jones-style chase that leads from the museum to the London sewers to a train station to a cargo ship headed to Egypt. Fittingly, the finale takes you to a pyramid. Since all the locales you visit later are explored in the same fashion as the initial museum, there isn't anything that really stands out, aside from some slightly different enemies and some slightly different gloomy backdrops. At least everything moves along at a quick pace, so it's hard to get bored.
There are a few issues with mechanics. Asylum has mirrored the clunky Resident Evil camera system. Viewing angles are more about being cinematic rather than easy-to-use. You typically face the camera, with no idea what's in front of you, and you often run into unseen enemies when the viewing angle suddenly changes. At least the gamepad has been tweaked to compensate for these abrupt switches. If the camera in front of you suddenly moves to your rear, for instance, you don't have to immediately change how you're pressing down on the D pad. As long as you don't pause, you can just keep going. This eliminates one of the central problems with this dramatic style of presentation--constantly running into walls.
Adding to the awkwardness is the moving save point, in the person of your friend Abdul Wahid. While it's nice that he follows you around providing both this service and an extra inventory, it's jarring to fight to a new location and discover him already waiting for you. Also, the map makes it hard to find your way around, as rooms aren't labeled. It's best to ignore the map altogether and trust your instincts that rooms are going to be in logical locations, since they usually are. You usually just have to follow the bad guys to find the door you need to open.
Some aspects of Curse for the Xbox have been cleaned up when compared to the PC version. The game is certainly a lot smoother on the Xbox. Enemies no longer get caught on corners and walls, nor do they forget that they're in the middle of a scrap and wander away from you until you fire a couple of rounds into their backs. Enemies seem quicker as well. Even the common undead thugs at the beginning of the game are swift enough to take a chunk out of you before you can blast them to bits. This usually wasn't the case with the PC version. Buggy quests have also been addressed. The water bucket bug, which prevented you from applying medicine needed to continue the game, has been eliminated, as has the vanishing Osiris room key issue.
Still, Curse is really a better story than it is a game. Despite the hackneyed design, the plot unfolds like classic pulp fiction. You've got a hero with a mysterious past, a gutsy heroine, and a collection of enigmatic bad guys and creepy monsters. Atmosphere is tremendous. Every location is shadowy and eerie, thanks to effective, grimy textures and a handheld lantern that illuminates everything from below like a flashlight held under a person's chin. Echoing footsteps and melodramatic voice acting contribute more chills to the haunted corridors. Well-drawn backdrops set an darkly attractive stage, even though there are too many doors to open and too much reused artwork (how many toilets are needed in a museum basement?). Character and monsters also look great and boast lifelike animations, especially the mummies, although you do have to kill the same three or four baddies over and over again.
You can best consider Curse: The Eye of Isis as something of a trip down memory lane. If you didn't get enough of the survival horror phenomenon back when it was the biggest thing in gaming, this is a solid play, available at a budget price. If you did get your fill of zombie-smashing, this is a somewhat tedious walk over familiar ground. For better or worse, Asylum hasn't made a fresh new game so much as it has fashioned a tribute to Resident Evil with hieroglyphics.

Jenna Bush Hager had planned to keep her baby's sex a delivery surprise. But when everyone started telling her she'd be welcoming a son, the mom-to-be went ahead and put her bets on a baby boy.
"We didn't find out the gender, but literally everyone thought I was having a boy, including random strangers who would approach me at coffee shops, the drugstore, etc," she tells Cricket's Circle.
And then the first-time mom took it a step further. "I figured they must all be onto something, so I was convinced too — so much so, I painted the nursery blue!"
Fast-forward a few weeks and the delivery surprise turned out to be more of a shock: When Bush Hager gave birth to her first child in April 2013, she and husband Henry Hager became the proud parents of daughter Mila.

How economies work – and don't
a manual. The world did not come without a way for people to prosper, and the planet to heal and stay well; that way is geonomics. Economies are part of the ecosystem. Both generate surpluses and follow self-regulating feedback loops. A cycle like the Law of Supply and Demand is one of the economy's on/off loops. Our spending for land and resources – things that nobody made and everybody needs – constitutes our society's surplus. Those profits without production (remember, nobody produced Earth) can become our commonwealth. To share it, we could pay land dues in to the public treasury (wouldn't oil companies love that?) and get rent dividends back, a la Alaska's oil dividend. Doing so let's us axe taxes and jettison subsidies. Taxes and subsidies distort price (the DNA of exchange), violate quid pro quo by benefiting the well-connected more than anyone else, reinforce hierarchy of state over citizen, and are costly to administer (you don't really need so much bureaucracy, do you?). Conversely, land dues motivate people to not waste sites, resources, and the ecosystem while rent dividends motivate people to not waste themselves. Receiving this income supplement – a Citizens Dividend – people can invest in their favorite technology or outgrow being "economan" and shrink their overbearing workweek in order to enjoy more time with family, friends, community, and nature. Then in all that free time, maybe we could figure out just what we are here for.
one of many words I coined over 20 years ago: geoism, geonomics, geonomy, geocracy, etc – neologisms that later others came up with, too. CNBC once had a Geonomics Show, and Middlebury College has a Geonomics Institute. If "economy" is literally "management of the household", then geonomy is "management of the planet". The kind of management I had in mind is not what CNBC was thinking – top-down. My geonomics is not hands-on, interfering, but hands-off, organic. It'd strive to align policy with natural processes, similar to what holistic healing does in medicine, what organic farming does in agriculture. Geonomics attends to two key components: One, the crucial stuff to track is fat — or profit, especially profits without production, such as rent, or all the money we spend on the nature we use. Society's surplus is the sine qua non for growth, needed to counter death – not merely more, but sustainable development, more from less. Two, the basic process to respect is the feedback loop. These let nature maintain balance automatically and could do the same for markets, if we let them. Letting them would turn our economies, now our masters, into a geonomy, our servant, providing us with prosperity, eco-librium (to coin a term) and leisure, time off — a hostile environment for economan but a cradle for a loving and creative humanity.
a study of Earth's economic worth, of the money we spend on the nature we use, trillions of dollars each year. We spend most to be with our own kind; land value follows population density. Besides nearness to downtowns, we also pay for proximity to good schools, lovely views, soil fertility, etc. These advantages, sellers did not create. So we pay the wrong people for land. Instead, we should pay our neighbors. They generate land's value and deserve compensation for keeping off ours, as they'd pay us for keeping off theirs. It's mutual compensation: we'd replace taxes with land dues – a bit like Hong Kong does – and replace subsidies with "rent" dividends to area residents – a bit like Alaska does with oil revenue. Both taxes and subsidies – however fair or not – are costly and distort the prices of the goods taxed and the services subsidized. By replacing them and letting prices become precise, we reveal the real costs of output, the real values of consumers. Then, just by following the bottom line, people can choose to conserve and prosper automatically. A community could start by shifting its property tax off buildings, onto land – a bit like a score of towns in Pennsylvania do; every place that has done it has benefited.
a scientific look at how we divvy up the work and the wealth, how some of us end up with too much or too little effort or reward. That's partly due to Ricardo's Law of Rent, showing how wasteful use of Earth cuts wages. And it's partly due to how a society's elite runs government around like water boys, dishing out subsidies and tax breaks. While geonomists look political reality right in the eye, without blinking, conventional economists flinch. When Paul Volcker, ex-chief of the Federal Reserve, moved on to a cushy professorship at Princeton cum book contract, the crush of deadlines bore down. So Volcker asked a junior associate to help with the book. The guy refused, explaining that giving serious consideration to policy would ruin his academic career. The ex-Fed chief couldn't believe it and asked the department chair if truly that were the case. That head honcho pondered the question then replied no, not if he only does it once. And economics was AKA political economy!
a way to connect the dots. Making the cyber rounds is "The Cavernous Divide" by Scott Klinger, from AlterNet (posted March 21): "As the number of billionaires in the world expands, so does the number of those in poverty." Duh. The yawning income gap is not news. Nearly every issue of our quarterly digest carries a similar quote. Yet the connection was worked out long ago by one of America's greatest thinkers, Henry George, who labeled his masterpiece, Progress and Poverty. Techno- and socio-advances always enrich few and impoverish many. Yet progress also pushes up location values – the geonomic insight (is Silicon Valley cheaper now or more expensive?). Instead of taxing income, sales, or buildings, society could collect those values of sites, resources, EM spectrum, and ecosystem services via fees and dues, which would lower the income ceiling, and instead of lavishing corporate welfare, pay out the recovered revenue via dividends, which would jack up the income floor. Dots connected.
shaped by reality. In the 1980′s, the Swedish government doubled its stock transfer tax. Tax receipts, however, rose only 15%, since traders simply fled to London exchanges. Fearing a further exodus, the Swedish government quickly rescinded the tax altogether. (The New York Times, April 20) That willingness to tax anything leads us astray. Pushing us astray is that unwillingness to pay what we owe: rent for land, our common heritage. Assuming land value is up for grabs, we speculate. We cap the property tax on both land and buildings and the rate at which assessments can go up; while real market values rise quicker, assessments can never catch up. Our stewards, the Bureau of Land Management, routinely sell and lease sites below market value, often to insiders, says the Government Accounting Office. Once we grasp that rent is ours to share, we'll collect it all, rather than let it enrich a few, and quit taxing earnings, which do belong to the individual earner. That shift is geonomic policy.
not a panacea, but like John Muir said, "pull on any one thing, and find it connected to everything else." Recall last month's earthquake in El Salvador. We felt it and its formidable after-shocks in Nicaragua. Immediately afterwards, my host nation, one of the poorest in the Western Hemisphere, sent aid to its Central American neighbor. The Nica newspapers carried photos of the devastation. They showed that the cliff sides that crumbled had had homes built on them while the cliffs left pristine withstood the shock. Could monopoly of good, safe, flat land be pushing people to build on risky, unstable cliffs? If so, that's just one more good reason to break up land monopoly. What works to break up land monopoly, history shows, is for society to collect the annual rental value of the underlying sites and resources. That'd spur owners to use level land efficiently, so no one would be excluded, forced to resort to cliffs. To prevent another man-induced landslide is yet another reason to spread geonomics.
a discipline that, compared to economics, is as obscure as Warren Buffett's investment strategy, compared to conventional investment theory, about which Buffett said, "You couldn't advance in a finance department in this country unless you taught that the world was flat." (The New York Times, Oct 29). The writer wondered, "But why? If it works, why don't more investors use it?" Good question. Geonomics works, too. Every place that has used it has prospered while conserving resources. Yet it remains off the radar of many wanna-be reformers. Gradually, tho', that's changing. More are becoming aware of what geonomics studies – all the money we spend on the nature we use. Geonomics (1) as an alternative worldview to the anthropocentric, sees human economies as part of the embracing ecosystem with natural feedback loops seeking balance in both systems. (2) As an alternative to worker vs. investor, it sees our need for sites and resources making those who own land into landlords. (3)As an alternative to economics, it tracks the trillions of "rent" as it drives the "housing" bubble and all other indicators. And (4) as an alternative to left or right, it suggests we not tax ourselves then subsidize our favorites but recover and share society's surplus, paying in land dues and getting back "rent" dividends, a la Alaska's oil dividend. Letting rent go to the wrong pockets wreaks havoc, while redirecting it to everyone would solve our economic ills and the ills downstream from them. People must learn to stop whining so much and feel enough self-esteem to demand a fair share of rent, society's surplus, the commonwealth.
about the money we spend on the nature we use. It flows torrentially yet invisibly, often submerged in the price of housing, food, fuel, and everything else. Flowing from the many to the few, natural rent distorts prices and rewards unjust and unsustainable choices. Redirected via dues and dividends to flow from each to all, "rent" payments would level the playing field and empower neighbors to shrink their workweek and expand their horizons. Modeled on nature's feedback loops, earlier proposals to redirect rent found favor with Paine, Tolstoy, and Einstein. Wherever tried, to the degree tried, redirecting rent worked. One of today's versions, the green tax shift, spreads out of Europe. Another, the Property Tax Shift, activists can win at the local level, building a world that works right for everyone.
of interest to Dave Lakhani, President Bold Approach (Mar 8) and Matt Ozga (Jan 29): "I write for the Washington Square News, the student run newspaper out of New York University. Geonomics seems like it has great significance, especially in this area. When was geonomics developed, and by whom?" About 1982 I began. Two years later, Chilean Dr Manfred Max-Neef offered the term geonomics for Earth-friendly economics. In the mid-80s, a millionaire founded a Geonomics Institute on Middlebury College campus in Vermont re global trade. In the 1990s, CNBC cablecast a show, Geonomics, on world trade as it benefits world traders. My version of geonomics draws heavily from the American Henry George who wrote Progress & Poverty (1879) and won the mayoralty of New York but was denied his victory by Tammany Hall (1886). He in turn got lots from Brits David Ricardo, Adam Smith, and the French physiocrats of the 1700s. My version differs by focusing not on taxation but on the flow of rents for sites, resources, sinks, and government-granted privileges. Forgoing these trillions, we instead tax and subsidize, making waste cheap and sustainability expensive. To quit distorting price, replace taxes with "land dues" and replace subsidies with a Citizens Dividend. Matt: "This idea of sharing rents sounds, if not explicitly socialist, at least at odds with some capitalist values (only the strong survive & prosper, etc). Is it fair to say that geonomics has some basis in socialist theory?" A closer descriptor would be Christian. Beyond ethics into praxis, Alaska shares oil rent with residents, and they're more libertarian than socialist. While individuals provide labor and capital, no one provides land while society generates its value. Rent is not private property but public property. Sharing Rent is predistribution, sharing it before an elite or state has a chance to get and misspend it, like a public REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) paying dividends to its stakeholders – a perfectly capitalist model. What we should leave untaxed are our sales, salaries, and structures, things we do produce.

Original unfinished wood floor in bathroom - how do I protect it?
We finally got around to pulling up the old lino in our upstairs bathroom in preparation to install new tile. We uncovered the original wood floor under the lino which was a happy surprise, since the entire house got new wood floors around 1920 and the original floors were totally removed from the downstairs in the process.
The original wood floor is so beautiful that we have decided to keep it instead of installing tile over it. It's in good shape and is still in 1857 condition; that is, it's bare with no trace of varnish, stain or shellac. I am unsure of the wood species. Since it's from 1857 I'm sure it's a soft wood, but it was very resilient when I pressed my fingernail into it so I believe it's old growth.
I am not sure what to use to seal/finish it with. It's in a bathroom with a shower, so it's going to get a little wet from time to time (though nothing too bad.) I would like it to look as original as possible - no shiny finishes - so I think that leaves poly out. I'm okay with applying a stain of a similar shade if that would serve a purpose other than simply adding color. What are my options?
I just posted a question about using shellac in a bathroom (original finish), so it will be interesting to see what advice you are given. I picked up a high solids floor finish from the local janitorial supply place today that I may try out on top of the shellac to keep the water from damaging the finish.
We love the wood look but want to protect it at the same time.

70" TV Stand in Espressor
Carolyn from Chesapeake, VA– Verified Buyer
All I can say is I LOVE this 70" TV Stand. It is so beautiful. I have never been satisfied with any other TV stand I have purchased until now. I have a 65" TV mounted to my wall and this is the only stand that makes my wall look amazing.Finally I have large enough shelves to put all my electronic equipment on, sliding doors, and even more smaller shelves for my remotes, DVDs, CD's, games, etc. to It is made of excellent quality material and its looks just like the on-line picture, but a richer looking version. I put it together by my self so its easy to assemble, just follow the directions that carry you through the process step by step.I would recommend getting someone to help you assemble the stand because it is heavy and it would take less time to put together. I would recommend this product to anyone who has a large TV mounted on the wall or if you need a sturdy stand to set your TV on. This is perfect. You won't go wrong in purchasing the 70" TV Stand in Espresso, its beautiful.
Amazing Customer Service! & Good Product
Michael from Plainfield, IL
Overall we are very happy with the product. The quality is very good, the finish is nice, and the stand is very sturdy. It was very easy to put together. It took my husband and I about 1.5 - 2 hours, and we were watching a movie at the same time....so it would probably go together a lot faster if you're focused. Ours didn't come with the touch-up pen that was listed in the parts list, and that would have been nice to have. My only real complaint about the unit itself is that none of the shelves are adjustable. We were able to fit all our components (DVD/Stereo/Wii) in the center section. However, the left and right shelving units are empty. I can't figure out what to put in there, not even a DVD case will stand upright and, again, those shelves are not adjustable. For that reason, I couldn't give the unit 5 stars.
fantastic TV stand that matches description given
Shannon from Cedar Park, TX– Verified Buyer
More quality than I expected and looks great with my new 60-inch TV. After reading some of the other reviews, I was a little hesitant to purchase but I am glad I took the chance. I enjoy putting things together and actually did it by myself without any difficulty. I usually use an electric screwdriver for projects like this, but it said not to in the instructions…which may be why some others had issues with the construction. Love the sliding doors and no catching due to hitting screw like some of the reviews I read. Very sturdy and well made without any shifting after being put together. The shelves are not adjustable in height but you probably could eliminate one or more of the end shelves if more height was needed. Except for the 2 center top shelves, there is limited width of the shelving (15.5-16 inches) so some AV components may not fit on some of these which only really matters if you have a lot of home theater equipment. Discovered it was really nice to add some baskets for DVDs on the end shelves. There was only one small minor blemish (less than an inch) possibly caused from the shipping that wasn't very noticeable and not worth calling to complain about or request replacement. It seemed the outside of the box took a little beating during transit (very heavy) so I think it was packaged very well considering the contents inside did not get damaged. Luckily I was home when it was delivered (couple days after ordering!), so I had the delivery man bring it inside, otherwise I would have needed a couple of strong men to bring it in or unpack it on the porch. Do recommend vacuuming with soft brush attachment and wiping down before putting together because the white foam packaging does have some static cling to the black pieces. Seriously can't beat the price for the quality and style of this great piece of furniture.
Very Sleek
Carolyn from United States– Verified Buyer
Assembly was very straightforward, however does require 2 people if you are not very strong as it is very heavy. Some notes:
Decent TV stand
TJ from Placerville, CA– Verified Buyer
This is an attractive TV stand that easily holds a large TV. It is stable and relatively strong, so I have no concerns about putting heavier items on the unit.
Very nice Unit with Super Fast Shipping
Judith from streamwood, IL– Verified Buyer
This came in a large box, super fast shipping too. I think I ordered it before then received it the very next day. I wish I could give it 4.5 stars because it was almost perfect. These are the issues: 1) There was static on the wood and components, so much that I had to vacuum all the little pieces of Styrofoam off of it before beginning to assemble it; 2) Nearly all of the holes with threaded inserts needed to be "cleaned up" for inserting the hardware. I used a pocket knife to scrape the extra stain off of the holes so that I could start the bolt in the insert. 3) I broke three cam locks while attempting to tighten them around the bolts (could have been using too much torque). Now that it is all put together, I really love it.
New home for the 55" flat screen!
Suzanne from Sacramento, CA– Verified Buyer
This is a beautiful piece of furniture! Thankfully, I had two grown men available to put it together. I like being able to hide the cable boxes and wires. There is plenty of room for my 55" flat screen, with room to spare on the sides. The finish is a silky black and the handles are brushed nickel. One small defect in the sliding doors; one of them sits a bit lower in the track than the other. If anyone has a fix for this I'd love to hear it. I love the customer service at Wayfair. Used the "chat" to get more information on this stand and Nancy Sandberg exceeded my expectations with several emails to explain the concerns I had. Thank you Nancy. I felt more confident with my purchase.
Sturdy and Beautiful!
Carina from Naples, FL– Verified Buyer
I purchased this stand as a surprise for my husband and put it together myself in 3 1/2 hrs. All pieces were clearly marked and the directions were very simple to follow. Our 65" tv fits perfectly and there is plenty of space for the cable box, blu ray, gaming console and movies. The wood is solid and not made of cheap particle board. It's a beautiful piece of furniture and looks like it would have cost a lot more. I definitely recommend, you will not be disappointed!
Great TV stand
Tonya from PA– Verified Buyer
I really liked this tv stand. I thought it was easy to assemble other reviews had said it was difficult however I did not have any issues. It has a nice finish. Although one thing to keep in mind is the side shelf's are pretty narrow they are only 14 inches wide and most of my equipment that I wanted to fit in that section were 17 inches so they would not fit. But overall I am very happy with this purchase.
looks great....
Jackie from Algonquin, IL– Verified Buyer
This is a beautiful stand.....very heavy and solid wood...only problem is, even after assembly, you could push on one end of the stand and it swayed back and forth....don't know why...other than that its really a beautiful piece of furniture...

Interesting to see the old quarries. Fossils. The park is very clean and has nice rangers, who seem interested in their jobs. short park can been seen in an hour easily.
...available-- a leisurely walk, picnic, combing for fossils.
It's a great setting and worthy of exploring.
This small underutilized state park is the perfect place for a picnic and nature walk. You can walk into the old coral quarry and look for fossils, or visit the tiny museum,or walk the labeled paths. Great place for kids to run. The small entry fee is worth it if you plan to stay for an hour or two.
This is a geological park. It has a small museum about mining of the coral and beautiful nature walks through the hammocks. You can even bring the dogs here for a walk!
A fun walk through the old coral quarries and a look at some of the old equipment in some beautiful natural settings... Bring bug spray!
This was our first stay on Windley Key. We found the local folks welcoming and friendly. From Ronnie at the shop in Postcard Inn who gave us tips on the water depths and marinas, to Hog Heaven, which was instantly our second home, to Harbor Lights, the old style Florida motel that was great, we loved our stay.

Hey! Thats the rail Adam LaRoche's deep fly ball bounced off of in the 7th! Both LaRoche & Werth assumed a home run. Not so fast, according to CBP ground rules. No good, says Davey Johnson: "You take nothing for granted. This is a game you never take anything for granted. My two veteran players took it for granted that ball was out. And I asked LaRoche, I said 'Rochie, what were you thinking?' He says 'Well, I was going for three.' I said 'Well, you weren't going very fast.' But you know, that's kind of a mental mistake, because you can always review it. You never put yourself in a position with the ball still on the field, and two veteran players messed that up...You just can't do that...that's a losing attitude."

The impish lexicographer Ambrose Bierce defined a lawyer as someone "skilled in the circumvention of the law." By that reckoning, the lawyers at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) are among the most experienced lawyers in town.
Last week was to be the deadline for businesses to begin posting pro-union posters in the workplace. The NLRB had ordered this done, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit intervened, determining the board had no legal authority to do so. The judges rejected the argument that businesses promote "unfair labor practices" simply by refusing to promote a cause with which they strongly disagree.
Judge A. Raymond Randolph pointed out that "freedom of speech includes both the right to speak freely and the right to refrain from speaking at all." The ruling corrects a clear-cut violation of the First Amendment.
The Court of Appeals reiterated the concern it had raised in January over the fundamental problem that the board itself is not validly constituted. The case, Canning v. National Labor Relations Board, concluded that President Obama violated the Constitution when he appointed board members while the Senate was in session without the advice and consent of the Senate.
Of course, anyone trying to circumvent the Constitution won't be troubled by ignoring the ruling of the second-highest court in the land. Board Chairman Mark Gaston Pearce has been proceeding as if the ruling had never been made. "We keep our eye on the prize," the chairman recently said, and he promoted a rule requiring employers to turn over private employee information including home addresses, emails and phone numbers to union organizers. The board has tried to punish companies for opening production facilities in right-to-work states. The board is now trying to cut in half the required time between the union filing for an election and the actual election. The change would set up an "ambush election" preventing employers from fully making their case. This would serve the interest of union bosses, not the employees and not the public.
Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Committee, hit it on the head when he said, "The Obama NLRB is determined to make union-organizing campaigns as one-sided as possible and to stifle the rights of employees who may oppose bringing a union into their workplace."
The courts have done an effective job of telling the NLRB to stop what it's trying to do to skew the process. If the NLRB won't follow the law, Congress could consider citing an unfair labor practice, abolish the agency, and save taxpayers $300 million a year. The National Labor Relations Board is a New Deal relic that has outlived its purpose.

Your live fish may not match the image shown due to natural variations in each species. Each companion animal is different in shape, color, and personality.
Also known as a Pygmy Possum Wrasse.
The reclusive Red Pygmy Possum Wrasse is a reef safe wrasse. Rather than burrowing, the Possum Wrasses tend to hide within the rockwork or in crevices. Best kept with other community fish, the Red Pygmy Possum Wrasse will leave its tank mates alone, except for the smallest shrimp and tiniest snails. Live Rock is a must for this species as they will graze upon the many lifeforms found within live rock. Because of this, small tanks under 50 gallons are difficult for this fish to inhabit. Feeding this species in a smaller tank requires very frequent feedings. A peaceful and active fish, a tight fitting lid is highly recommended to prevent jumping.

smallest rc boat
does anyone know whats the smallest rc boat or ship ever done on rcgroups? ir or radio? forward, backward, rudder, with pics and video?
update 2/6/2012
heres some pics of my 2" bitboat. i wanted to do video too but my sailing pan froze solid yesterday. let me know if you have any questions.
update 9/1/2012
update 9/3/2012
NEW RECORD!!!!! (actually only record so far because nobody else has posted video yet)
heres derks video of 1" full function boat: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...0#post22628582
man, this is going to be hard to beat. i wish i wasnt wasting so much time with those dam nano-quadcopters.

it sank and went down the drain before i could get a picture
|Feb 01, 2012, 08:43 AM
I started one that's 3.2 inches long. It would float an AR 6400 (or whatever, the brick) and it damned near climbed out of the sink when run directly from battery.
Uses a tiny pager motor glued onto a skeg and a 10 mm prop from Shapeways. Got slightly dinged and the rudder set up was not conducive to hooking up with the brick, so it's back to the drawing board when I get the time.
Derk is the guy who suggested that the whole motor can be stuck underwater and I have to say it worked well.
Any smaller and the deck would have been awash with the brick in place. The hull thickness was about 3/8ths.

lol! so we have comedians in the micro boat forum too! (btw i have seen a plane made from a housefly, no joke)
pete, i saw your concept post when it first came out and it is what inspired me to get into this. i dont understand why there is not more interest in building a really small boat. i guess there are different definitions of "micro". like in the heli area where they call 400g micro. i have a syma heli that weighs 26g and there are some like the piccooz that weigh much less.
i built a similar boat platform that is 2" using the underwater pager idea. i can put any kind of top on it for semi-scale appearance. now it can take a hk supermicro or bitcar rx. i tried both. im sure i can buld a 1" boat using a small ir unit i designed.
anyway im wondering what effect the water has on motor life. i sealed the wire end and keep a small glob of silicone grease on the shaft but idk.
|Feb 01, 2012, 10:36 AM
Only did it a couple of times, I felt sorry for the fly.
No idea how to answer any of your other questions, but there are guys building very small RC sailboats and that's my real interest. I want to make a small schooner, about 7.5 inches long. Need a motor for where I want to sail it and I'm thinking of sticking the motor in the fin keel. Did some drawings on paper so far and it looks feasible.
Built my own full sized sailboat many years ago. Gets in your blood. Also flew full sized sailplanes. Also paddled white water kayaks, so I spent a fair portion of my youth in the grip of nature, using and learning to respect the forces involved.

yes, ive been following your posts for many years. long before i signed up here. we have many common interests. i even built a 12' centerboard from pop mechanics but never learned to sail. but my kayaks water aint so white.
so im assuming you are the current record holder for smallest boat. maybe time for some "de-throning". lol! i will take some pics maybe this weekend when i go back home. it looks sooooo cute scooting around in the dishpan.
|Feb 01, 2012, 01:01 PM
I haven't yet made the boat RC yet and I'm not sure when I'll find the time. I seriously was (and am) planning to video it running in my bathroom sink if I ever get back to it.

i wish i could view videos but ill take your word for it. ive seen a fly-power plane in real life. he used a foam plane though and it only took a minute. it went out of sight.
i wonder about fly-power boats. that may be the only way to beat me in the smallest boat contest.
|Feb 02, 2012, 08:51 AM
Interesting, but crude!
We built really small microfilm models that we test glided and trimmed before sticking our tow line equipped fly to the nose. The hairs were two to three inches long. The fly was free enough to easily do circles in the living room.
The fly would also tire in only a few minutes. Maybe he was flying all out trying to get way from that thing following him.
|Feb 03, 2012, 09:29 PM
Inspired, I am. I'm going for 2.5" this weekend.
|Feb 04, 2012, 08:33 AM
Actually it's probably possible to cut off the elevator servo and use its motor in both forward and reverse, leaving the rudder servo for steering. Then the whole thing becomes lighter and smaller and it should be possible to use a much smaller battery since there is no large external motor to drive.
I'm busy on some music work and maybe experimenting with cookies for Valentine's Day.
I just scored a nice sheet of foam to play with when time permits.
Look forward to seeing what you come up with.
|Feb 04, 2012, 04:20 PM
Who said anything about using a smaller brick??? Lol there is a smaller brick though you would have to make it twin motor steering. The Blade Scout has a smaller brick.
