We need to reopen factories to make products here in the U.S. We can compete, and I will buy "Made in America" even if it costs more! So will many patriotic citizens! Create jobs? Billionaires or groups of businessmen, (not the government) could invest to open factories - that will create real jobs.
Tax breaks could help immensely, but no government control.
In the last few months, I have refused to buy items "made in China." It takes time and willpower, but I put many products back on the shelf.

When he was four years old, Chris Cagle moved from Louisiana to the outskirts of Houston, where he grew up. He began taking guitar lessons at six, but gave them up after a year. He took piano lessons during high school and returned to the guitar in his senior year. After high school, he enrolled at the University of Texas at Arlington, but dropped out at 19 to pursue a musical career. He moved to Nashville in 1994 and struggled for five years. His earliest songs were published by famed Nashville songwriter Harlan Howard, after which he landed a publishing deal and placed some of his songs with David Kersh. He was discovered by the assistant to the president of Virgin Records Nashville, whom he met in a restaurant where he was working. Virgin signed him and released his debut single, "My Love Goes on and On," which reached the country charts in July 2000, eventually peaking in the Top 20. His first album, Play It Loud, followed in October. It reached the country charts, and its track "Laredo" made the country Top 40. In 2001, Cagle switched from Virgin to Capitol Records (both are subsidiaries of EMI), and his new label reissued Play It Loud in June 2001 with two bonus tracks. A self-titled album came in 2003, followed by Anywhere But Here in 2005, which reached the Top 40. My Life's Been a Country Song appeared in 2008. The compilation album The Best of Chris Cagle appeared on Capitol in 2010. After a few years spent away from the music industry, during which time he built a ranch, got married, and had his first child, Cagle signed with the label Big Picture Music Group. In 2011, Cagle issued the single "Got My Country On" as a precursor to the studio album Back in the Saddle, which was set for a 2012 release. ~ William Ruhlmann

Recent reviews:
January 27, 2014 - This is a sturdy, nice small sized water bottle. Good value for the money.
January 18, 2014 - This bottle was great, but whenever I had the top on (the one you don't have to unscrew and is on the bottle in the picture), it was in danger of leaking. This is NOT a 'shove in my bag' water bottle. Make sure that if you have that lid on that the water bottle is upright!
January 3, 2014 - This Paws Galore Stainless Steel Water Bottle fits in my Paws Galore handbags, and it provides for clean tasting water unlike the water in plastic water bottles which taste like plastic. Good purchase.
December 21, 2013 - I have 6 of these all in my refrig. NO more plastic water bottles. Water tastes so much better too.
December 16, 2013 - love this ! it is awesome.

This dish was an absolute hit at my house. Full of flavor and on the table in no time. Only change I made was to use minced dried basil (its what I had on hand) and I added a bag of spinach I had prepared in the microwave. Will definitely make this again.

Culver Community's Aspen Kitchell recorded 15 kills and 16 assists to help lead her team to a Class A Sectional championship over South Central Saturday.
LAKEVILLE — The first time the two teams played, Femi Hollinger-Janzen wasn't as much of an issue. At Saturday's LaVille Boys Soccer Semistate, he took control. The Indiana University recruit and Bethany Christian senior forward notched four goals within the first 22 minutes to give his team a 5-0 lead, then watched from the sidelines as Class A No. 3 Bethany coasted to an 8-0 semifinal win over Argos at Newton Park. The Bruins ultimately lost the semistate championship to Fort Wayne Canterbury.
ARGOS — Same score, different game. No. 5-ranked Mishawaka Marian beat No. 14 Argos 3-1 in the semifinal on the way to the championship at the Argos Girls Soccer Semistate Saturday before winning the tournament with a 2-1 overtime victory over No. 2-rated West Lafayette.
WALKERTON — The painful memories of last week's tough loss to Bremen quickly disappeared Friday night for the John Glenn High football team. Josh Anderson ran the opening kickoff back 41 yards and then proceeded to ramble 40 more for the first of his four touchdowns, allowing Glenn to cruise to a 51-6 victory over Hammond Gavit in Class 3-A Sectional 17 opening round action at a frigid Falcon Field.
ANGOLA – Throughout the regular season, the Plymouth football team struggled under adversity. In Friday's sectional contest at Angola, the Rockies responded when it mattered most. Plymouth battled back from a 14-0 deficit in the first quarter and capitalized with scores on each of eight Angola turnovers on its way to a 49-21 victory in a wild Class 4A Sectional 11 opener.
PLYMOUTH — New Prairie's stout defense made Plymouth earn it, but the Lady Pilgrims rose to the occasion. Plymouth battled back from a 25-11 loss in the opening set to hand the Lady Cougars a four-set defeat, 11-25, 25-23, 25-18, 26-24, in a scrappy Class 3A Plymouth Sectional quarterfinal Thursday at The Rock. The Pilgrims now move on to face Culver Girls Academy — which bested Jimtown in three games in the opening quarterfinal Thursday — in the late semifinal at the Plymouth tourney Saturday at 12:30 p.m.
PLYMOUTH — In the midst of Thursday's sectional quarterfinal, Culver Girls Academy teammates Katy Bjornson and Abby Jeffirs got a little friendly competition going. The outside hitters had a contest to see who could rack up the most kills, and while Bjornson edged out Jeffirs 13 kills to 12, both were winners as they helped lead the Lady Eagles to a convincing three-set win over Jimtown, 25-20, 25-12, 25-14 at the Class 3A Plymouth Sectional.
It's a new day. Area teams are putting the past behind them, whether good or bad, as they enter the first round of the 39th Annual IHSAA Football Tournament tonight. It's been a rough year for Plymouth. The Rockies finished the regular season with the program's worst record in recent memory at 3-6, but the team is looking for a fresh start as it travels to Angola (5-4) for a first-round Class 4A Sectional 11 match-up at 7:30 p.m.
Volleyball LaVille beats Fremont at Class 2A Westview tourney LaVille beat Fremont in four games in a Class 2A Westview Sectional quarterfinal Thursday, 25-19, 27-25, 13-25, 25-13. The Lady Lancers move on to play Prairie Heights — which beat Central Noble in another four-set quarterfinal Thursday — in a Westview semifinal at 11 a.m. Saturday, followed by a 12:30 p.m. match between host Westview and Bremen. Middle hitter Katie Berger put away a team-leading 19 kills for LaVille, while outside hitter Kelsey Gurtner had nine, and fellow outside hitter Shelby Low finished with six.
CULVER — Trailing late, Triton coach Terrin Meister had confidence in her team. But after more than four nip-tuck games with Marquette, she figured the outcome would likely boil down to who wanted it more.

Everyone knows the implications of a potential AFC Western Division title being on the line this week when the Denver Broncos host Buffalo at INVESCO Field at Mile High, but this won't be first time the Broncos and Bills have had the potential for big time excitement.
In the first year for the two original American Football League teams (1960), the Broncos hosted Buffalo on November 27 at old Bears Stadium.
The Bills built up a 17-7 halftime lead and it started snowing hard
Attendance at the start of the game was just 7,785 and when the snow started flying most fans decided they had had enough and headed for the exits.
By the start of the third quarter the field had became covered with snow and Buffalo extended its advantage to 38-7 with just 4:39 left in the period.
Then the Broncos rallied for the greatest and perhaps most improbable rally in franchise history.
Denver scored 31 points in the final 19:39 to make the final a 38-38 tie, as Frank Tripucka connected with wide receiver Lionel Taylor for touchdowns of 20, 24 and 35 yards, the latter coming on a literal one handed, on the run catch by Taylor.
The astonishing comeback was completed with Gene Mingo connected on a 19-yard field goal for the tying points with just four seconds and almost no fans remaining.
The Broncos and Bills hooked up for another bizarre but true contest on November 24, 1968.
In that one, the Bills had every quarterback injured and actually moved one of their starting wide receivers, Ed Rutkowski over to quarterback, where he started and played the entire game.
He played a fine game for the Bills, completing 17 of 38 (pretty good for a wide receiver) passes for 161 yards and rushing five times for 48.
But as crazy as that seems, it was not even close to the story of the game.
Denver was hanging on to a 31-29 lead and the Broncos were running out the clock with under a minute to play.
Then the impossible happened, and the greatest player to that point in Denver history, All-AFL running back Floyd Little, fumbled the ball and Buffalo recover and advanced the fumble to the Denver 10.
Wasting no time, the Bills sent in the field goal unit and took a 32-31 lead with 30 seconds to play.
Meanwhile, on the Denver sideline, fiery Broncos head coach Lou Saban had a vitriolic explosion of temper at Little, during which he verbally fired him and banished the great back to the locker room.
Buffalo kicked off and the Broncos returned it to their own 31.
At that point, you had to be there to see it, as I was, and it still seemed unbelievable.
The Broncos headed out to their offensive huddle when Little came bursting out of the locker room and running seventy yards across the middle of the field, from the south end zone locker room location to the north 20 where his team was huddled up.
The players were wondering what was going on as their captain raced into the huddle while Saban was screaming for him to get off the field.
But Little would not leave, and eventually persuaded wide receiver Mike Haffner to run off the field, giving Denver 11 players in the huddle and saddling Haffner with a classic tongue lashing by Saban, who was beyond rage at this point.
Meanwhile, not even mentioned was the fact that due to injuries of its own Denver had Marlin Briscoe at quarterback for the balance of the season, making the Broncos the first modern era team to play a black man at quarterback.
At the time nothing special was made of it, but history would note the moment.
Little implored Briscoe to "Just throw it as far as you can, and I'll be there," as the captain was passionate about both his team's victory and personal redemption.
On first and 10 from the 31 Briscoe threw deep and 59 yards later Little leaped and came down with the catch to give Denver a first down with 10 seconds left.
For good measure, Buffalo had a face mask penalty that moved the ball to the 10, where Bobby Howfield kicked the game winning 12-yard field goal with seven seconds remaining.
And of course, Little stayed on through 1975, a captain every year and one of the greatest players in franchise history, surviving an on-the-field firing by his coach and saving the game within the last minute of play.
So as we prepare for this Sunday's game against the Bills that is such a big one, that's a quick reminder that in the National Football League anything can happen, and you never know how history will be made.

Last weekend's weather provided athletes with some of the best conditions in virtually all venues of competition. Tennis players might have found afternoon wind conditions to be unfavorable at times, but the temperatures through the latter part of last week were ideal.
Teams competing at Saturday's Montrose Invitational Track Meet had to love the warm, sunny day they had for competition.
The girls' division was won by Eagle Valley after they had accumulated 90 points. Montrose placed second (84) and Delta finished third with 74 points. Glenwood Springs was fourth with Paonia (68), Hotchkiss (58), and Cedaredge (52) securing the next three team spots.
For the boys, Eagle Valley ran away with the team title with 130 points, with Coal Ridge a distant second with 114 points. Glenwood Springs finished third (68), with Cedaredge scoring 63 points to place fourth. Delta had 51 points to finish fifth, with Hotchkiss and Rifle tying for sixth with 44 points. Paonia's Eagles had 26 points and placed tenth in the team race.
Delta Girls
Skylyn Webb wasn't quite ready for the rigors of Saturday's meet and had to settle for second-place in the 100m dash with a time of 12.92. Her best time of the year was 12.87 according to stats gathered so far in 2013.
One of the reasons for Webb's runner-up place in the 100m was due to tired legs. Webb was an integral part of Delta's big win in the 3200m relay. The Lady Panthers took more than five seconds off their previous best time of 9:52 with a blistering 9:47.44 in Saturday's race.
When asked about the 100m race, Webb said she didn't feel quite right. "My legs felt tired. Guess I wasn't over the 800m in the 3200m relay." A nearly all-out effort for two laps can have an affect on muscles for an hour or two.
The Lady Panthers did have two first-place finishes on Saturday. Joining Webb in the 3200m relay race were teammates Clarissa Whiting, Mykayla Music and Cleo Whiting. Cleo Whiting scored the second 10-point win for Delta with an 11:22.99 time in the grueling 3200m run. Clarissa Whiting finished second in a time of 11:24.77. Both Whitings recorded their personal bests on the year with their performances.
Delta's Mykayla Music was fifth in the 3200m run with a time of 12:46.19 and was third in the 1600m run with a time of 5:40.93.
Patti Chapman and Bryanna Music picked up second-place points for Delta. Chapman jumped 33-7.5 in the triple jump, and Music threw the shot 38-4.25, to claim their runner-up spots.
Callie Gafford had a third-place finish, along with Cedaredge's Kenzie Henderson and Montrose's Lauren Livermore, in the high jump with a leap of 5-0. Amelia Hawkins cleared 4-10 to share sixth place with Paonia's Ce'rra Carsten.
Delta's 400m relay team of Erin Zunich, Chapman, Gafford and Webb placed fifth with their season-best 52.58.
Delta's 1600m relay team finished seventh and Chapman was eighth in the long jump.
Delta Boys
The Panthers failed to win an event at last Saturday's Montrose Invitational, but many of the participating athletes set personal best marks at the meet.
One of the most impressive races in the boys' division was Chris Black's valiant effort in the 300m hurdles. Black was one of the top contenders in the race based on previous times.
Glenwood's Auston Tribble was the odds-on favorite in the race and Black led all but the final three yards of the race. A stumble after clearing the final hurdle allowed Tribble to get past Black for the win. Their times were impressive with Tribble posting a 38.76 and Black a 38.85. Both are high in the top 18 rankings with the top mark of 38.54 belonging to Discovery Canyon's Nicholas Betz. Joe Wise, of Frederick, is second with a time of 38.74 followed by Tribble and Black.
Delta's 1600m relay team posted a time of 3:36.63 to finish second, with Dakota Proctor landing 40-0.5 from the take-off board in the triple jump for another second-place finish.
The Panthers had a third- and fourth-place finish in long jump with Eian Baier sailing 19-10.25 for third and Doug Hawkins hitting his mark for a jump of 19-9.5 and fourth place.
In one other fourth-place finish, Dustin Ownbey moved around the track four times with a time of 4:46.16 setting his season-best mark by nearly three seconds over a previous run.
Sixth-place finishes for the Panthers included Jonathan Kinderknecht's run in the 3200m, and Delta's 400m and 3200m relay teams.
Delta picked up two eighth-place points from Kinderknecht (1600m) and the Panthers' 800m relay team.
Delta will split the track roster this week and send a group to Cedaredge for the Cedaredge Invitational and the rest are headed to Grand Junction to take part in the Tiger Invitational.

** Season 5 Winner of NBC's 'The Voice' To Be a Highlight of the 18th Annual Event **
BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, Jan. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The St. Kitts Tourism Authority and the St. Kitts Music Festival committee today announce that Tessanne Chin, season 5 winner of NBC's hit TV show, The Voice, will perform at the 18th Annual St. Kitts Music Festival, taking place Thursday, June 26 to Saturday, June 28, 2014.

She then launched her solo career, and her debut single, "Hideaway," and its music video were very popular. After winning The Voice, Tessanne performed at the annual Rose Bowl Parade, Shaggy's benefit concert, "Shaggy and Friends," and headlined her first show in downtown Kingston with free admission. Tessanne's major label debut album is scheduled for release at the end of the year.
Now in its 18th year, the St. Kitts Music Festival attracts both locals and visitors alike. It features a wide range of musical styles on the popular market, including R&B, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Reggae, Soca, Calypso and Contemporary music. Past artists have included such prominent acts as John Legend, Lionel Richie, T-Pain, Michael Bolton, Ne-Yo, Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, Shaggy, Toni Braxton, The Commodores, Billy Ocean, Sean Paul, Boyz II Men, King Konris, Stephen Marley, Regina Belle, Maxi Priest, Beres Hammond, Biggie Irie and Lord Nelson.

I think you are too young at 17 to be using fat loss supplements especially with your self-description. It sounds like you are quite lean already. If you desire to lose bodyfat all you need do at your age (and suggested metabolism by your bodyfat estimate) is slightly reduce your caloric intake or increase the amount of calories you are burning with increased exercise.

Howell Street scene Hillaire Drive Scene
Hopkinsville Police sent four bodies to the Regional Medical Examiner's Office in Madisonville for autopsy in a 24-hour period as part of two separate murder investigations.
HPD Sgt. Kyle Spurlin says the body of 38-year old Brian Summers was sent to Madisonville first Saturday night and the bodies of his parents—67-year old Tommie and 66-year old Linda Summers were taken for autopsy Sunday.
All three were discovered at 309 Hillaire Drive with gunshot wounds by a family member just before 10 Saturday morning, with the parents dead on the scene and Brian pronounced dead soon after at Jennie Stuart Medical Center.
Police are investigating the incident as a double-murder-suicide but declined to identify who they believe the shooter was until after the autopsy. Sgt. Spurlin says the HPD detectives division could release more information pertaining to the autopsy results in the coming days, but that he didn't have any more details to release Sunday evening.
Sgt. Spurlin says an autopsy was also performed on 20-year old Alicia Jackson of Hopkinsville, who was found dead at 725 Howell Street Saturday evening. HPD Chief Guy Howie said at the scene that Ms. Jackson had sustained some type of trauma and the report said the shooting incident was being investigated as a murder. The autopsy on Ms. Jackson could shed some light on how exactly she died.
Police said they don't have any suspects in connection with the Howell Street incident and both investigations continue.
