Carry-All for Front Mowers
Does anyone make a Carry-All for out-front mower machines such as kubota F-2000 series, NH G6000 series, Iseki SF series, etc ?? Talking about the 'backwards CUT' rather than ZTR, lawn tractor or home-size riding mowers. Something similar to the Johnny Bucket that is made for garden tractors and JD-only front mowers??
I have tried searching this site, but found nothing.Last edited by Rip; 02-11-2013 at 01:34 AM.

Yeah, thanks for the opinion.

This beer is nothing like the description on the bottle. In fairness it is almost a year old and so the coconut is non existent. Ironically this beer reminded me of a sour. My Dad, brother, and I split this bottle, there's were drain pours. I like sours so I stuck with it. However, it was very disappointing.

750 ml Bottle from Dawson's while visiting Maryland. Bottled 4/2013,so I really should have paid attention to the dating when I bought this. i assume the coconut will be gone. Pours black with a one finger mocha colored head that looks lightly creamy. Sweet lactose and chocolate aroma, a good bit of roast, don't get much coconut. Flavor is sweet lactose, graham cracker, and again not much coconut to speak of except maybe a hint of sweetness that isn't lactose or chocolate. There seems to be a bit of cardboardy oxidation in this as well. Body is medium with medium plus carbonation. Not a bad beer, but I must say I am a little disappointed here but that may not be fair given the bottle date and known disappearance of coconut in these beers.

Radians® Custom Molded Earplugs
- Mold to the shape of your ear
- Longlasting and washable
- Safe and hypo-allergenic
- Noise Reduction Rating: 26 dB
Manufacturer model #: CEP002.
Rated 4 out of 5 by 6
Rated 4 out of 5 by DanieltheNerd Pretty Good
This can be very tough to use, especially by yourself. I was doing this for my wife and we were unable to get the silicon to go into her ear canal by simply pushing on the center as the directions state. You almost have to pull the top of the ear lobe up then push, however you want to be sure to no push to far into the ear canal.
The only other option is the custom set at a gun show and those run $55 or more.

Rated 4 out of 5 by hdracer Works very well
Bought these for riding my motorcycle. I always wear earplugs due to hearing loss and on trips with my wife we use a wireless intercom system. the earbuds I use do not block enough outside sound so I molded the earbuds with these Radians Molded Earplugs. Voila! Outside sound is cut down dramatically and I could use a lower volume setting on the intercom. I can still hear outside sound so safety is not an issue.
I did have a problem with my wife's not curing quickly but they turned out ok after sitting overnight.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KO110 Excellent Product
These earplugs are great. Excellent protection with comfort to boot. Instructions are simple but you must follow them to the tee for maximum performance. This product is fantastic for sporting clays shooting.

Rated 1 out of 5 by TacPen Just don't work that well
I tried this product twice now. The first time I followed the directions but they never molded properly. They just weren't pliable enough. I thought to try it again since I might have not pressed hard enough during the holding and gave it another shot. This time they did mold well and fit adequately but they just don't block out nearly enough sound. Not even close to a set of disposable ear plugs.
They seem very durable and comfortable but that doesn't help if they don't actually block out sound well.

This pot roast needs no knives... it's tender and absolutely delicious. "Alcatra" comes from the term "alcatre", the Portuguese word for "rump", indicating that rump roast is preferred there for pot roasts, but I've prepared this with sirloin tip roast as well with fabulous results.

You Count, Calories Don't: Comments from the author, Linda Omichinski (Registered Dietitian)


text: Earlier this month, the UN said it approved of the arrest [JURIST report] of a former top Guatemalan military figure accused of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. General Hector Mario Lopez Fuentes, former chief of staff of Guatemalan armed forces from 1982-1983, is accused of directing military attacks against citizens, namely indigenous Mayans. Villages were destroyed and women and girls were systematically raped under his authorization. In response many deaths during the civil war, the Guatemalan government founded the National Compensation Program (PNR) in 2003 to deal with claims by civilians affected by the civil war. The PNR, after setting up its administrative structure, has begun to use its $40 million budget to work through a backlog of more than 98,000 civilian complaints. More than 1,000 complaints were filed in 2008. The PNR hopes to file the majority of the complaints within the next year.

[JURIST] US President George W. Bush Friday defended [remarks] his administration's interrogation policy, saying that the "government does not torture people" and that it "stick[s] to US law and our international obligations." Bush was responding to Congressional demands for two 2005 Department of Justice opinion letters [JURIST reports] that reportedly endorsed harsh interrogation tactics. Bush said:
I have put this program in place for a reason, and that is to better protect the American people. And when we find somebody who may have information regarding an - a potential attack on America, you bet we're going to detain them, and you bet we're going to question them - because the American people expect us to find out information - actionable intelligence so we can help protect them. That's our job...[W]e got professionals who are trained in this kind of work to get information that will protect the American people.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- For Anna Pollitt, the Quarrier Diner is back to living up to the name emblazoned on the building.
"We're a diner. We are now a diner," Pollitt said.
She was referring to the new and simplified diner-esque menu visitors will now find when they visit the establishment at 1022 Quarrier St., heavy on such basics as hamburgers, cheeseburgers, BBQ sandwiches, hot dogs, BLT and a hot bologna sandwich.
Pollitt ticked off new menu items she had a hand in making.
"I made the pinto beans, I made the chili, I made the chili for the hot dogs. I made the peanut butter cake. It's my recipe for the potato salad, the chicken salad, the tuna salad, the egg salad. I mean, all these things are the way I want it done, not the way some chef wanted it done with a lot of extra frills."
The historic diner has had its ups and down since Pollitt and her husband, David, reopened the landmark in 2011. The Pollitts bought the dilapidated restaurant in September 2010 at the urging of their son, Tim, after it was named to the Preservation Alliance of West Virginia's Most Endangered Properties.
"He told us that if we would purchase a restaurant, he would make it work," Pollitt previously told the Gazette.
They began renovations in January 2011 to restore the art nouveau building, which was built in 1946. The family earned the "Most Significant Save of an Endangered Site" from the Preservation Alliance for their work in restoring the diner.
But in the midst of construction, Tim Pollitt died from a head injury sustained after falling down the stairs at home on Easter Sunday.
The family proceeded with plans to reopen with an ambitious bistro menu, which never really took hold, Pollitt said.

Partner Profile Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) houses over 40,000 students from three higher education institution that share our campus: the Community College of Denver, Metropolitan State College of Denver and University of Colorado at Denver. AHEC is purchasing renewable energy certificates (RECs) equal to all of its electrical power needs (based on FY09 levels). AHEC entered a three-year contract with a national REC marketer for more than 40 million kWh of RECs sourced annually from national wind energy projects. Since 2004, students have paid an additional fee to fund a variety of sustainability programs. In 2007, the students voted overwhelmingly in favor of renewing and expanding the Sustainable Campus Program (SCP), which included the 3-year REC contract. The SCP has also launched a recycling program that has reduced campus waste by over 35% campus wide and funded numerous energy and water efficiency projects on campus implemented in concert with AHEC staff. In addition to extending the SCP program for an additional four years during the 2011 campus elections, the SCP also successfully installed a 45kW solar photovoltaic (PV) system on-site as well. These projects, in addition to the wind REC / green power purchase all fit within the larger goal of the SCP which is to reduce the campus' dependence on fossil fuels and to reduce the ecological impact of the Auraria Campus overall while improving campus life for all students, faculty and staff. |

Elizabeth McClung of the Austin Coalition for Life was not present for the Oct. 9 incident at the International Health Care Solutions independent clinic in northwest Austin. However, she reported that sidewalk counselors involved in the 40 Days for Life campaign had spoken with the girl before her mother started "getting physical."Pray for this courageous young teen mother.
The girl's mother "was shoving her, hitting her, pushing her. She actually fell on the ground and scraped her leg."
"At one point she actually was holding onto the bed of a pickup truck in the parking lot but her mom was yanking on her to go inside."
Pro-life advocates who witnessed the coercion called the Texas Alliance for Life and asked what they should do.
"Dial 911, that is a crime occurring," they were told, according to Pojman. "No one can be coerced, it may be an assault."
"We stayed on public property, we didn't trespass," McClung told CNA. "We called police and were peacefully praying."
When police arrived, the counselors told the police they were available to help. When the girl and her mother came out, the sidewalk counselor emphasized to the young woman that it was her decision not to have an abortion. She gave the girl her name and phone number.
While the teen's mother did take her to Planned Parenthood a few days after the incident, she again decided not to abort, McClung reported. A local maternity home has offered to help the young woman.

40 Days For Life Supporters Stop an Attempted Forced Abortion In Austin
A pregant teen was taken to an abortion facility in Austin, where her parents tried to force her to get an abortion. Several witnesses saw her get assaulted by her mother, while trying to get the teen into the facility. One of our former students, Elizabeth McClung, heads up the Austin Coalition for Life and the 40 Days for Life effort there and is quoted in this article about the story.

Hello,Please I wanted to know if you can replicate an android app on google play called Fruit Juice Maker for a brand that's launching a fruit flavoured drink. inserting the brands image and theme in the game. It"s going to be used for launch of the fruit drink on the 29th of March. Target - 3yrs and above.Platform is android. Basically i"d like the fruits used to make the flavoured powdered drink included or a satchet of drink is poured into a jug and mixed with water and other ingredient used to make the drink. Also extras can be added to decorate the fruit drink. The sound of drinking has to be increased for effects. Will also push brand"s ads via the app. The idea of the game would be to mix the different flavours to make a cocktail.1. The images of the Tang 3 flavours will replace the fruits2. User selects his flavour and the powder is poured inside a jug (no blender)3. User selects Water which fills the glass4. User selects a Big spoon to stir the drink5. User selects Vitamins A, B, C to add in the drink6. User selects glass7. User selects either extra, wallpaper and toppings8. Timer should be set for mixing the drink 60 seconds9.When it's time to drink appear, a text will follow eg "Super Mixer" or "You got game" depending on how fast the user mixes his drink10. Now the picture of the cocktail and the text that follows for the particular user should be updated on the brand"s facebook page once the user clicks on share. Eg. John just mixed a Tang drink within 20 seconds. You are a Super Mixer.Will send the real text when i get them from client.All brand images will also be inserted and music as well.Please send me an idea of cost and will want you to start development today once I give you the go ahead. Deadline is Thursday 28th. You also have to deliver the apk with source codes.
I am a designer looking for an iOS developer partener. I have an iOS app concept that can be very popular. The project on which we"ll be working will be similar to this http://www.youdress.com/app/en/index.html I know the budget is not much, that"s why the programmer of this app will have percentage from sales. Will be a free app, but will have some features that the user needs to buy.All GUI will be provided by me.
Need a coder to figure out how sound click dot com is calculating their music charts on the backend, its based on views but they are somehow able to detect all "Views increasers" and ignore all artificial hits.The views increasers do increase the plays actual numbers but if those plays don"t follow their "Unknown" method of detection, they don"t raise your songs position in the charts.Here are some known facts:1- each MP3 play needs to be from a unique IP.2- Each IP is only counted towards 1 play. (Duplicate plays are discounted)3- Charts are calculated at midnight (GMT -5).4- Downloads per unique IP are also counted towards the charts.5- Plays from "External-outside of the site" users have less weight then users who play within the site.They may be using REFERRER or FLASH COOKIES.Or they may be basing it on the amount of time the MP3 is played.Coder will be provided with an account for daily testing, coder will need a source of free or private proxies for such testing. I expect coder to provide "recreate-able proof" of his/her findings and document a solution. This will take the coder a few days of experimenting as you have to wait until around 1am (gmt -5) to see if the tested song has raised in the charts.There are several users on sound click currently cheating by artificially inflating their hits and staying in the #1 spot for weeks at a time, so it certainly can be done. Hi, can you do this? Thank you My Email is email@example.com
I need an app programmed for a client.The app is a catalog of their product line. The catalog will be photos of their line. The line is categorized and each category will need to have its own section. I also would like to have a grid view so that I can choose to browse by product name, or by a grid of images.App will need to be programmed using HTML/JS for future updates and preferably done in phonegap. I have a conceptual webapp if you need to look at it to accurately quote. Here is a skeleton of how I would like to have the app laid out:Home screen:>Textures by name>Textures by image>Trendbook>Newest Textures>About SappiTextures by name (this will be an analog of what I provided)>Ultracast Fine Textures>Ultracast Medium Texturesetc..Texture pages:>Texture image (with ability to pinch zoom)> detail imageTextures by image:>Ultracast Fine Textures>Ultracast Medium Texturesetc..Texture image grid (by category -- fine, medium… etc)>takes you to texture page view aboveTrendbook Screen>Fall/Winter 2010 Trend>Fall/Winter 2010 Colors>Fall/Winter 2010 TexturesFall/Winter 2010 Trend>takes you to swappable array of imagesFall/Winter 2010 colors>takes you to swappable array of imagesFall/Winter 2010 Trend>list of texture names>texture pages (pinch zoom and detail)

Uh yes he was.
real Eli in the Bible ... should you ever read that book. <-- I recommend that you do. It's a real good book. Eli in the movie was blind.. and the bible he carried was written in braille. Eli was the only person left in the world that could interrupt what was written on the pages since he was blind and was taught to read braille. If he wasn't blind then why the whole movie was he so hell bent on getting the book he carried to someone who could print it into written language. If he could see then why not just write the book himself. |
Thought it was a good movie and it made sense to me. Not sure why all the Atheists have to drop by and bash it. In for a "1 To 3" week wait. Thanks OP and repped. WB |
So it's not that I didn't like it because of anything god related.. I didn't like it because there's a giant twist that didn't make sense. Of course everyone is fooled by it |
Either way, references to the Bible and God didn't ruin the movie for me, but then again, I'm not an Atheist. WB |

As an aside, and I am probably a doofus ... I thought the "Bible" he had was blank (empty pages), not Braille. I thought he had memorized it (as was not uncommon LONG ago when things were passed via word of mouth). Yeah, I guess I need to pay more attention during a second read through.
That being said ... Best case scenario for the atheist is that when they die ... nothing. Worst case, they go to hell. Best case scenario for the believer ... nekkid virgins and little umbrella drinks on the heavenly beach. Worst case, nothing. Hard to figure out which way to go!

A number of questioning media stories have appeared lately focused on higher education. Does a degree still matter? Is college worth it? Some high school kid highlighted in these stories might have an older brother or sister with a freshly minted degree and no job. The kid and the story ask why he should apply to college and his parents may be asking why they should borrow the money to send him.
I can't begin to answer all of these questions, especially those related to the relative value of degrees from specific schools. The data on the main questions, however, remains absolutely clear and compelling: People who get a post secondary degree of some kind (graduate, bachelors, associate or certificate) do better in the short term and over a lifetime than people who don't. Interestingly, it is not "some college" that makes the most difference; it is finishing. To paraphrase labor economist Tony Carnevale of Georgetown, a degree is the entrance requirement, the library card, for all of the on-the-job learning you will eventually obtain in the workplace.
Yes, there are differences in the lifetime value of certain kinds of degrees (science v. social service, etc.). Yes, there are reasonable questions about how high is too high on college costs. And yes, dramatic changes in the job market will impact the prospects for each of us at various times in our lives. But the research is overwhelming and consistent. A college degree of some kind is a major determininant of the wealth we will enjoy and produce in our lifetime.
Recent studies have concentrated on that wealth generation impact of higher education. It's not just that degreed people are prepared to take jobs in a regional economy. It now appears that just having such people around helps to make jobs. More on the economic development impacts of higher education in a future installment.
The 2010 elections gave Republicans control of state government for the first time in Oklahoma. They have quietly enacted a slate of pro-business measures, including a $350,00 cap on lawsuit damages, the largest rewrite of the states workers compensation system and new laws making it easier for employers to test workers for illegal drugs, and imposing new limits on employment discrimination relief claims. Chad Warmington, COO of the Oklahoma Chamber of Commerce, said, we checked off major boxes in all of those areas in the first session. It was very successful. For more information, read the full article at Stateline.org.
In case you haven't heard, Kelly Ripa recently announced that Bethlehem, Pa., was listed as the "2nd LEAST romantic city" in the nation by social media site Foursquare.
As you can imagine, our friends at the Greater Lehigh Valley (PA) Chamber of Commerce said, "WHAT?!?!"
Click on the video below released by the Downtown Bethlehem Association last week (during the WEEK OF ROMANCE, no less!) showcasing the romantic nature of Bethlehem!
Wonder what Foursquare has to say now?
Who says North Carolina's Charlotte Chamber is a bunch of "buttoned up" and out of touch folks? Last Friday afternoon, in honor of this year's slogan - Outrageous Aspirations - staffers sought to inspire members at a networking event with a flash mob.
About 15 members of the chamber staff danced to the song 'Wobble' as a local high school band performed in the main open area at the downtown entertainment venue, EpiCentre. Check out the video!
Last May, Joplin, Mo. was hit by a devastating tornado which left a 10-mile-long path of destruction. More than 500 businesses were destroyed or substantially damaged. In a recent interview with Southeast Missouris Business Today, Rob O'Brian, president of the Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce, says that "most were prepared for typical Midwest storm damage, but not for a tornado of that magnitude."
Today, nine months later, with about 85 percent of Joplins businesses open and operating, Rob OBrian and Nathan Brown, insurance producer at W.E. Walker-Lakenan, LLC in Jackson, Mo., spoke with Business Today and shared disaster preparedness tips for businesses. From recovery insurance advice to data back-up suggestions,the article provides good information for your members.
Most people are more interested in organized crime than in organized business. Chambers of commerce do not often attract headlines except for the occasional, inevitable dustup with a public authority. For that reason, this Aprils 100 year anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce may pass without much public attention. This would be a shame, as groups of companies have left their fingerprints all over the American civic landscape, and were busy even at the birth of Tom Donohues organization in 1912.
President William Howard Taft, who called the U.S. Chamber into existence, was a frequent visitor to local chambers of commerce. He once joked that even towns without any commerce had a chamber or a board of trade. Indeed, during the Progressive Era these groups were proliferating wildly, and filled with excitement .
Behind much of the excitement stood a man named Ryerson Ritchie. Starting in 1893, he turned the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce into the most dynamic civic organization in the country. One of its hundreds of activities was to vet the charities that approached its members, a policy that eventually led to its introduction of federated giving in 1913, which in turn led to Community Chests and the United Way.
Ritchie, whose personality was as difficult as his ideas were brilliant, moved rapidly from chamber to chamber, becoming something of a Johnny Appleseed of the chamber movement. Soon dozens of business organizations were proclaiming, Ritchie-like, that they werent old-fashioned boosters and factory grabbers any more. Instead they were civic transformers, improving education, city government, city planning, you name it. The Boston Chamber of Commerce even had a committee seeking a cure for the common cold.
Chambers seized the innovations of commission government (initiated in Galveston in 1901 after the disastrous hurricane) and city manager administration (first set up in Staunton, Va. in 1908), spreading them into dozens, then hundreds, of communities. These were seen as businesslike ways to improve the efficiency of local government .
City planning was the rage, too. The Washington Board of Trade was a prime mover in setting up a commission that, among other things, got the ugly railroad tracks removed from the Mall and helped set up the capitals park system. The Cleveland Chamber enlisted the eminent planner Daniel Burnham to help create the citys Public Square. And in Chicago, the Commercial Club and the Merchants Association united to fund and publish Burnhams magnificent Plan of Chicago in 1909, considered by many to be the greatest achievement in this field for that era.
Business organizations in this period were remarkably optimistic about their communities and their abilities. The president of the San Francisco Chamber wrote after the earthquake and fire of 1906, it could have been worse. In nearby Santa Rosa, a group of merchants formed a chamber after the quake and used the opportunity to widen streets for the new-fangled horseless carriages. (The same chamber, including its founder, Frank Doyle Jr., would lead the push for the Golden Gate Bridge in the 1920s.)
In the capital of commerce, the New York Merchants Association sprang up like a weed after Manhattan, Brooklyn, and nearby areas became an expanded New York City in 1898. The NYMA, which soon would have thousands of members, fought against everything from West Side rowdies to the common house fly. It asked its members in bold print, Are you doing your share?
In 1906, a much older chamber, the New York Chamber of Commerce, explored fundamental changes to the nations financial system. But because a New York-led banking reform movement would be a political nonstarter, the Chicago Association of Commerce (an aggressive new chamber, founded in 1904) was asked to set up the key lobbying organization. The effort was then folded into the new U.S. Chamber of Commerce in 1912, and led to success: the following year, President Woodrow Wilson signed into law the Federal Reserve Act.
Small cities were active and innovative, too. The chamber in Binghamton, N.Y., created a new bureau in 1911 to coordinate business, academic, and federal assistance for farmers. Its farm bureau concept spread to the chambers in Watertown, Cortland, and elsewhere. This movement soon became independent, although still calling itself the Farm Bureau, and by the 1920s involved more farmers than did any other organization in the nation.
Other chambers did much to change their communities. With Galveston devastated by the 1900 hurricane, the Houston Chamber of Commerce redoubled its ancient efforts to beat a better path to the sea. In order to get the needed money for its Houston Ship Channel, the chamber led one of the first major efforts to raise local matching funds to go with federal appropriations. Meanwhile, one state away, the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce engineered a coup of its own: getting the state to move the capital from Guthrie to Oklahoma City in 1910.
Chambers were prime movers behind the good roads movement of this period. Indeed, a U.S. Chamber expert, G. Grosvenor Dawe, noted in 1912 that an explosion in the number of chambers over the past 15 years had coincided with the growth of the good roads movement. Why? It was simple, he reported. Towns had to have access to the nations road network or they would be bypassed by the new automobiles. Business people were among the first to see the need for connection, and they organized into chambers so as to push, sometimes desperately, for the asphalt.
Even in the do-gooder Progressive Era, the old chamber urge to promote and market the community never completely disappeared. No one could top the Los Angeles Chambers Frank Wiggins, who would later be called by Life magazine the greatest city booster who ever lived. It was his chamber that sent out the brochure bragging about the communitys 350 days of sunshine per year that caught the attention of Colonel William Selig in Chicago. Selig in 1907 dispatched a team to Wigginss city that would bring a new industry to California: motion pictures. Three years later, the Los Angeles Chamber grabbed another sun-loving field of enterprise, putting on the first major air show in the United States and thereby virtually hijacked the newly developing aviation industry in its entirety to Southern California, according to historian Kevin Starr.
Wiggins was a genius, but the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce knew something about promotion, too. For example, it seized on Mark Twains description of the territory as the loveliest fleet of islands anchored in any ocean. Moreover, it set up a display on Atlantic Citys teeming boardwalk and showed off a drink that Chamber Trustee James Dole had just figured out how to bottle: pineapple juice. The drink was an instant sensation. Dole produced 2,000 test bottles in 1909 and 2 million the following year, creating an effective liquid advertisement for Twains paradise.
In this time of optimism, new horizons, and big dreams, one thing went terribly wrong. On its maiden voyage, the New York-bound passenger ship Titanic struck an iceberg on April 14, 1912, sinking the next day. One of those on the ship was Isidor Straus, a Macys executive and a member and former vice president of the New York Chamber. Although offered a spot on a lifeboat, he decided to stay aboard the ship and let younger men or others live. His wife Ida refused to leave him, and they went down together.
The Strauss deaths were perfectly in line with the motto of the New York Chamber: Not born for ourselves alone. Hundreds of poems were written about them (and indeed the couple was depicted in James Camerons movie, The Titanic). Three other members of the chamber also died in the North Atlantic, including an Astor and a Guggenheim.
One week after the Titanic sank, on April 22, 1912, 700 business people, led by Chicago banker Harry Wheeler, formed the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. All of a sudden, the New York Chamber became the second most important business organization in the land. It would still have great moments, such as in helping create the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, but most of its greatest deeds were behind it. It would no longer be the place where, as admirer President Theodore Roosevelt had written in 1902, no [other] body of men can render a greater service.
Other local chambers, too, were giving something up. But unlike the separate states that came together to make up the United States, the local chambers did not lose any freedom of action. They did relinquish a bit of their call on the attention of the nation. From now on, for many Americans, the chamber meant the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
For most chambers, this was a small price to pay for having an organization with the muscle to stand up to organized labor and even, occasionally, to Uncle Sam. And over the succeeding century, the local business groups would cooperate frequently with their national organization. The project didnt work out too badly: the coming 100 years would bring American industry and commerce to unprecedented, almost undreamed-of levels of wealth and power.
And what of all that ambitious, local civic spirit that animated so many people and groups and chambers of commerce in 1912? Has it disappeared in pervasive national or international organizations and institutions and corporations? Have we given up so much money and responsibility to governments that we are incapable of doing really ambitious things together, on a voluntary basis?
Perhaps, for the next century, the big questions will not be about institutions, but about us. The New York Chamber first confronted such issues at its founding in 1768. Are we, indeed, not born for ourselves alone? And if so, what will we do for the places where we live?
Our friends and partners around the economic development world produce some great content. Here's a sampling of recent items worth reading:
The Startup ActPolicy information from the Kauffman Foundation Last December, U.S. Senators Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) and Mark Warner (D-Va.) introduced The Startup Act, a piece of legislation born out of Kauffman Foundation research aimed at jump-starting the economy through the creation and growth of new businesses ventures. The broad ranging proposal touches on patent law, taxes, regulation and immigration.

ACCE Economic and Community Development Division, Chairman's Message from February 2011
How many times have you heard 'green shoots' mentioned relative to the US economy since 2008? Too many to count I'm sure. But many regions actually saw signs of growth in 2011. Here in Lexington, expansion and relocation projects added 1,300 new direct jobs and millions in new investment to the Bluegrass Region. A $17 million dollar global headquarters expansion by Tempur-Pedic that created 65 new jobs was a particular bright spot.
I'm cautiously optimistic about 2012, and after talking with colleagues across the country, I know many other regions are also seeing signs of growth. This good news can't come soon enough for our friends and neighbors who've lost a job during the downturn, but we know economic development is measured in years, not days. Today's investment announcement began years ago as careful planning, good strategy, and effective marketing led by a chamber or EDC. And more than ever, economic development success comes less from industrial recruitment and more from building a vibrant community with talented workers and a pro-business climate. This is work every chamber in the country can, and should, lead.
The ACCE Economic and Community Development Division's core goal is to provide chamber leaders access to the information, individuals, and ideas that will help them build more competitive, prosperous regions. The role has never been more difficult or more important. Over the coming year the Division will organize and produce webinars, convention speakers, magazine articles, a benchmarking survey, and new information office content all focused on helping you drive economic growth in your community.

The award recognizes organizational excellence in chambers of commerce and is based on the U.S. Chamber of Commerces accreditation process for local chambers. It highlights accomplishments in the areas of leadership/governance, finance, advocacy and membership development.
This recognition is further testament to the influential work of The Chamber, said Jeff Rea, president and CEO of The Chamber. Although we are membership-based with more than 1,100 member businesses representing 90,000 employees, our strategic vision focuses on issues and initiatives that positively impact the area economy. We represent the interests of business, providing leadership and influence to move our community forward, said Rea. This recognition means we are doing the right things and people are paying attention.
So what's next for Jim? During his retirement he plans to work as a consultant part time in the areas of his greatest intereststrategic planning, sustainable development and fund-raising. In his eight years with the chamber, he has made a tremendous impact and will leave behind quite a number of accomplishments. Constructing Wacos first green chamber building in America has been one of the most visible accomplishments of his time at the Chamber, but he indentified many other successes by the chamber, its volunteer leadership, staff and public and private sector partners, including: Attracting 20 new companies and 40 expansions by existing firms; 5,314 new jobs, 3,190 jobs retained and $740 million capital invested in projects assisted by the chambers economic development staff; Developing and implementing a master plan for the Waco Industrial Foundation business parks including $6.8 million invested in new infrastructure and $6 million to acquire additional property to accommodate development. Making urban development a chamber and community priority; projecting a billion dollar decade downtown; defining Greater Downtown and making the case for a 40-year plan and 100,000 people living and working downtown; and advocating for smart growth and sustainable development. Advocating for official standing in the permitting process for coal-fired electric generating plants in Greater Waco that contributed to TXUs decision not to build the plants. Establishing the Community Development division to engage members and staff in education, workforce and a range of quality of life initiatives. Matching 40 business mentors with 115 Waco Independent School District students during five years, and all of the seniors in this program have graduated and gone to college. Reviving the One Book One Waco community-wide reading program and supporting a variety of efforts to reduce poverty and hunger here. Growing the sports luncheon series to average 1,100 in attendance at each event; starting the TriWaco triathlon which attracted more than 900 runners in 2011; and increasing participation in the Starburst Junior Golf Classic to 1000 boys and girls annually on nine courses. Starting a quarterly magazine, weekly electronic newsletter, monthly television program and eight websites to promote chamber programs and to help change perceptions about Greater Waco. Increasing the Chambers annual budget from $1.5 million in 2004 to $3.3 million in 2012; enlarging the organizations professional staff from 13 to 21; and raising $5.9 million for annual operations in seven all-volunteer Total Resource Campaigns.The Chamber has formed a search committee to begin a nationwide search for a new president and CEO of the chamber.

Re: The Sleekest Iphone 5 Case Ever! (Video Link)
Hmm looks pretty nice! It definitely wouldn't help if your phone was dropped on rocks or other hard debris.
Re: The Sleekest Iphone 5 Case Ever! (Video Link)
So it's essentially a bumper without the bumper...lol. I don't know about sleek...but it definitely looks a lot less structurally durable.

Re: The Sleekest Iphone 5 Case Ever! (Video Link)
Wait, so they ship you one for $15? Or did you have to invest that in the company, and when they launch 'em you'll get one? It looks durable for drops on flat surfaces. But think about dropping your phone on pointy/sharp rocks! No protection for the back glass/aluminum/whatever-it-is on the iPhone 5. If something hits the screen you're screwed either way - case or no case.

That looks pretty cool I guess. I just ordered this one from the iMore store:

Re: The Sleekest Iphone 5 Case Ever! (Video Link)
I'm sure what you got is good. I'd actually prefer a version that didn't have a logo or whatever on the back.. so that's a plus if that's what you got. iMore has a really good return policy.. so you decide you don't like something, they don't charge any stupid fees to return it other than you paying the shipping.

Re: The Sleekest Iphone 5 Case Ever! (Video Link)
The idea is really good as a person with severe OCD I've wanted a case forever that protected the phone like an Otterbox Defender but was pretty much invisible so that you could appreciate the beauty of the design. This however is not the design that fits that idea it's thin and unless it's soft like silicone it doesn't have enough structure to be full protection. Which is why I think when they said that it will protect every part of the phone that is a mistake. It is perfect for people who drop their phone once in awhile from a short distance onto a table or on carpet. However how does it protect the back from finger prints, scratches. My wife has dropped her phone so many times she broke parts of her Defender case. There is no way this case would have protected her phone in that case. What if you knock a drink over onto the phone? If they were to keep the bumper elements which are cool and make it out of silicone then have a harder plastic shell that is fully transparent that the phone goes inside bingo I'd buy that. It wouldn't be fully protected like a Defender or Lifeproof case but the silicone bumper would absort some of the shock, the transparent case would show off the phone and keep fingerprints away from the phone while also adding a little more rigidity and protection.
I'm excited to see the new Lifeproof case but it's still going to cover the back :-(Last edited by Ipheuria; 11-09-2012 at 08:06 AM.

Re: The Sleekest Iphone 5 Case Ever! (Video Link)
I've seen videos of products that claim to "waterproof" your phone through some chemical coating...and it doesn't work at all. Marketing videos from the company are hardly the "guarantee" i would ever put faith in, since it is in fact the job of the video to sell the case, i doubt they would give you any details as far as durability. Where my questioning comes in though is the fact that this is basically just the same as the bumpers that have been available for years, but with the middle section removed...in that, those structural pieces, when presented with a significant impact don't seem very stable to me (especially looking at what happens to the full bumpers at times when impacted). Kind of like taking a car's body panels off and ramming the frame into a wall...just curious how much better/worse it would hold up (since it's plastic and all).
