Promoted to the front page from the FanPosts by Luke Thomas.
MMANews.com is on location at Strikeforce tonight and can report that moments ago, Tito Ortiz and Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion Renato "Babalu" Sobral exchanged words and had to be seperated before throwing down in the crowd.
This is the first I've seen about Tito and Babalu having to be physically split up during the show. However, it isn't unlikely that the two "worked" the altercation for the sake of marketing a future bout. The story goes on to note that while the camera was fixated on Babalu, he could be seen flipping off Tito, which led to an exchange of words and subsequently moving Babalu to a different part of the facility for the remainder of the program. Of course, Tito could be seeing more money fly out the window if Sobral is unable to get past Feijao this coming June.

connect 4 anyone??
It started bright and early. I shared my life with the women of SHE during our devo time and it seemed to go pretty well. A few of the ladies talked to me after so it was good. And then Kyla and I spent the next few hours making bracelets with Jum. It was a lot of fun. She doesn't speak much English but she laughs so beautifully and her smile could brighten up a bat cave. So it was fun. I messed up a few times and had to pull off quite a number of tiny beads but it was okay. Kyla is pretty much a professional now. Her bracelt was perfect. Then we loaded up and went to a lake nearby and ate lunch. Anita had a girl come and eat with us. Her name was Toon and Anita had meet her the night before. It was very cool to see a woman come and be interested in the work we can offer here. There were also 3 other girls that came but I don't remember their names. That's the tough thing with the Thai people. Their names are much different than ours so it's really hard to remember. I just have to say their names over and over and over. And still I'm not usually saying it right. But anyways. Where we ate lunch was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. For lunch we had rice with some little chicken wing type things and a hard boiled egg. It left quite a nasty smell in my mouth but luckily we returned back to our home so I could clean that out. We had about 30 minutes of down time so many of us took the opportunity to catch some ZZZ's. it was good. The bad thing was we all woke up dripping of sweat. That was the gross part. So. We left to prayer walk Bangla Road and the surrounding areas. We got to get some Starbucks drinks so that was beautiful, but the drinks make us not look so akward as we walk and pray up and down the roads of bars. Nikki, Ben, and I walked down around Bangla Road, past the beach, and down Bangla Road. We saw some interesting stuff and had some good conversation so it was nice. Then we all met up and prepared to get on the bus.
We waited. And waited.
Then this little thing drove up. I'd say it was a few seats bigger than a squat bus but was very small. There was no room to set down, so myself, Nate, Ben, and Bond got to ride SWAT on the back. It was SO fun. Plus a lot cooler than the hot nasty body filled bus. The normal 20 minute ride took 1 hour. There had been a wreck on the mountain so traffic was awful slow and it was a tiny bus loaded down with Farangs (white people).but we had a grand ole time and made some sweet videos and got to see this spirit house. We drive by it every day, but we were stopped outside of it for quite a bit today. It's this building on the side of the mountain that the Thai people drive past and honk to Buddha for good merit and for driving safety. Nearly every car/ motor bike honked. So, we finally made it back.
We have a lovely 2 day guest named Christine Lederle with us so it was a treat to get to see her beautiful face again. We all said our hellos and headed to the beach to do our devos. We arrived and had to walk down about 100 small steps but it was SO worth it. The sunset was beautiful. Sunsets are something special to my heart so it was a pure gift from God to see the sun slowly fall down to the softly flowing ocean. We then did some praise and worship on the beach followed by small group prayers then we headed off.
We drove to Bangla Road and were surprised with the choice of eating supper at either Subway or Burger King. A juicy cheese burger sounded too good to pass up, so I went there and enjoyed every greasy ounce of it. Then we were off to the bars.
The people in my group were Ben, Karin, Bond, Christine, and me. We started and I got to go and visit a woman I've grown rather close to. Her name is On. She is absolutely gorgeous. From the first day of our prayer walk I've known her and she's been close to my heart. We talked a bit and was just catching up because I didn't see her last night and she said she was very sad because the last 3 nights, she's had to go with men. That broke my heart. Nearly shattered it right on the spot. Yet she still smiled her smile and carried on talking. No words can explain how sad/ heartbroken I was for this beautiful woman. While we were talking she said that she couldn't come to our BBQ tomorrow night unless I wanted to pay the bar owner 500 baht ( 32 baht to the dollar. You do the math) because work starts at 5 at the bars. So I'm just praying that she can come on Thursday lunch. Anyways. I reluctantly left and traveled on with my team. We went to a few other bars and gave out the number to quite a few girls. Even though we aren't getting flooding with women coming here, we know they deeply consider it. Life changing decisions like this take time. As we go back to bars to see how the women are doing, they'll mention SHE and say that they've been talking to a group of their friends that want to come, but they just haven't been able to yet. So, patience is defiantly a virtue around here.
So we left and did our debriefing and overall we had good spirits. Phone calls will be made tomorrow and the next so that hopefully goes well.
Prayer requests:
Deep sleep. Sleep is precious and minimal lately so our sleep needs to count big time.
Protection of our minds.
Health. Little things seem to come up everynight.
Love for these women and men we come in contact with.
Woman we've met to leave the bars. I'm gonna pray big for this one. Our God is mighty and he can do mighty things. I want to see those streets cleared out but it starts with one girl at a time so prayer for the woman we've met to come and visit.
Love you all!!!
Shout out to my family. I miss you all
Shout out to WMW peeps. 500 miles played tonight at one of the bars and I danced and thought of you all. ☺ God bless

Herbie, an abused and neglected dog who won the hearts of all who heard his story, had died.
In December, Lorain Police found Herbie was found weighing only 25 pounds when he should have weighed three times that. He also suffered a fractured skull and older injuries.
Officers believe that the dog had been caged, neglected and deserted. His eyes were severely swollen and forced shut, and he couldn't walk or stand up.
Yesterday, a caretaker for Herbie posted an update on a site seeking justice for the dog saying, "This is the hardest message I have ever had to post."
"Herbie has gone to the bridge. He fought hard to recover from his abuse, but the cancer was too much for him to bear. He had stopped eating and was losing weight and muscle. These last two weeks with him were very hard on me, watching this magnificent animal begin to waste away from the dog he had become under Dr. Woods care and my love," he continued.
"I did not wish to see him start to suffer. In his way, he told me yesterday that he was ready to leave us."
Herbie died in his caretaker's arms at approximately 2:00 p.m.

iPad as a productivity tool?
Hey Apple folks, I'm hoping you'll be able to help me out.
I'm considering getting a new laptop since I travel a lot for work and I want something thin, light, functional. I'm not really impressed by any of the Windows 8 offerings and am kind of a Mac person anyway (I've got a MBP from 2008-2009 as my personal machine). So I'm considering an iPad with the ultrathin Logitech keyboard.
My problem is that I have serious doubts that the iPad can really be used for productivity. I owned one of the original ones and ended up getting rid of it in frustration over its lack of ability to do what I thought were some pretty basic tasks. But every time I go on the road I see them everywhere, so I thought I'd look into it again.
In your experience, how would I do the following tasks (which are all pretty much deal breakers):
- Download a spreadsheet from an email, make edits to it, and resend it on the same email thread.
- Open a Word-compatible document to view comments and track changes.
- Organize, open and edit files for a website (basic html coding and image files)

"Some Like It Hot" won an Academy Award for costume design. But of course the Oscars don't really matter in terms of artistic appreciation. It's simply the world's most over-hyped industry trade show. Even worse than all those advertising shows.

Marilyn is always marvelous to look at. Lemon is chewing up the scenery here, but it's okay. I can't take my eyes off quirky, jerky little Joe E. Brown in this picture. And it's not just his schtick, but that he is so... of another time. He's a treasure.

Suchomimus (Greek for "crocodile mimic"); pronounced SOO-ko-MIME-us
Lakes and rivers of Africa
Historical Period:
Middle Cretaceous (110 million years ago)
Size and Weight:
About 35 feet long and 5 tons
Fish and meat
Distinguishing Characteristics:
Long, crocodilian snout with backward-pointing teeth; long arms; ridge on back
About Suchomimus:
A relatively recent addition to the dinosaur bestiary, the first (and to date only) fossil of Suchomimus was discovered in Africa in 1997. Its name, "crocodile mimic," refers to its long, toothy, distinctly crocodilian snout, which it probably used to snap fish out of the rivers and streams of the then-lush northern Sahara region of Africa. This dinosaur's relatively long arms, which it may have dipped into the water to spear passing fish, are another clue that Suchomimus subsisted on an aquatic diet. (See a gallery of Suchomimus pictures.)
Classified as a "spinosaur," Suchomimus was similar to a few other large theropods of the middle Cretaceous period, including (you guessed it) the gigantic Spinosaurus, probably the largest carnivorous dinosaur that ever lived, as well as slightly smaller predators like Carcharodontosaurus and the amusingly named Irritator. (The distribution of these large theropods across what is now modern-day Africa and South America lends additional evidence to the theory of continental drift; tens of millions of years ago, these two continents were joined together in the giant landmass of Pangaea.)
Because only a single, possibly juvenile fossil of Suchomimus has been identified, it's not clear what size this dinosaur actually attained as a full-grown adult. Some paleontologists believe Suchomimus may have reached lengths of over 40 feet and weights of over 6 tons, putting it just slightly below the class of Tyrannosaurus Rex (which lived tens of millions of years later) and the even bigger Spinosaurus. It's ironic that such a huge meat-eater subsisted on relatively small fish and marine reptiles, rather than plus-sized hadrosaurs and sauropods!

This weekend, a QCA community is one step closer in its plan to revitalize its downtown. For the first time in about seven years, the historic downtown Sterling Theater is open for business.
The Sterling Theater has been through a lot over the years.
It was a popular attraction from the time it opened in the 1930s until it closed seven years ago and fell into disrepair.
Now, in just the last two years, the theater has gone from being condemned to being a symbol of hope for the Sterling community as it looks to revitalize its downtown.
Sterling Mayor Skip Lee said the city invested more than $500,000 in the public/private partnership project to renovate and reopen the theater. Community members say they're glad the city spent that money and are happy to have the theater back.
They say now they're anticipating a lot more visitors in town because of it.
Theater owner Skip Huston said the Sterling Theater is the only so-called "brew and view" theater between Des Moines and the Chicago suburbs, meaning it serves alcohol and food to have during the movie.
Sterling's mayor says that will make the city a destination and bring what the community says would be a much needed boost to the local economy.
"If we don't reinvest in ourselves as a city, how can we expect other people to reinvest in us?"said Mayor Lee. "This is a sign of our commitment to the downtown of our city and our commitment to do more projects like this to enhance our city."
Mayor Lee says the city is now setting its sights on some old warehouses in the downtown. They are working on plans to renovate those buildings now.

The Tech Behind a Nine Inch Nails Show 73
from the seeing-right-through-yourself dept.
I think the split second blue screen is a work of pure genius. Trent Reznor FTW!
I think the real question here is what type of fasteners they are using to hold it together.
6 inch screws
The brain seems to make some really loud disjointed cacophonous not so great music - wait, thats NIN right?
...kicking 'em when they're down!

Just want to give attribution where it's due.
Also, I'm so pissed off I wasn't able to see them this time around, and everytime I hear about how amazing and groundbreaking the show is, it makes me that much more upset. I really hope I can make it to one of the shows when they come back through the US again.
thats really too bad. in my world, there is no "wasn't" or "can't" for i make my way to see nin.
as for the show, it was the best nin visual show i have seen in the 14 years i have been attending nin concerts. there are things done with with trent and the screens that simply took my breath away. things i never would have thought possible at a "music" concert. this recent show i saw in inglewood, ca was far from being a simple "concert" or "music show." it's something else. something bigger. something that pu
Is there a video clip of this in action?

Right in the beginning, 0:05 or so.

I don't have flash so I can't tell you if its actually a rickroll or something, but a comment on the flickr post says
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x9BucfUYCE [youtube.com]
But Reznor, who is an unabashed Mac fan, is also playful about having to partially rely on Windows boxes for some of the show's visuals.
"We purposefully put one frame of the Blue Screen of Death in this collage of static that comes up at the end of 'Great Destroyer,' and right away people caught it," he says.
That is not a fail; it's win all the way.
Yeah. That 40-foot neon pyramid looks *just* like the floating screens that NIN are using. Same thing. Exactly. No difference whatsoever...
As a NIN fan, I may be out of line, but IMHO, neither the double translucent interactive NIN screens, nor the neon pyramid can stack against Spinal Tap's 18" Stonehenge replica.
It reminds me of Blue Man Group [blueman.com]'s visual performance, with better music IMO. They use a lot of LEDs, lights, colors, special effects, etc.
We saw the Blue men in Boston, and then Columbus OH. Boston's a much better venue for a show. We had a great time, the show is amazing. Some of the music's not that bad too.
Wasn't Columbus OH a tour show? If so, then tour shows aren't good as the home shows. I saw the one in Vegas in its old Luxor. Big and awesome!
Er, I've seen both of them, and aside from having lots of lights and big video screens, the visuals are not very much alike at all.
I was just thinking about interactive audio visualizations for a kick ass guitar appliance. I ran across fluxus which I'd never heard of before, but looks to be a killer app. Check out the movies here.
http://www.pawfal.org/index.php?page=FluxusSecrets [pawfal.org]
http://www.pawfal.org/fluxus/ [pawfal.org]
if you fast forward to the end of the tutorial videos, IMO you see sufficient video of 'it working'. I haven't yet downloaded it and tried the examples, but honestly even if the 3 tutorial examples were all there is, I'd still be impressed.
Ah. You can't skip past what's buffered yet, so I didn't get to see the end. Scanned through the first quarter of each and thought "well, this is delightfully informative."
NIN makes me wish for the Pink Floyd of long ago. But then again, so does Roger Waters
and they might of caught up to the tech available in a 90's rave
still rock music allways was behind
Normally I detest Mac and all their little fanboys.... If it works great, if it sucks he denounces it. You have to respect someone like that. We need more of that attitude in every aspect of life.
Maybe you could use more of that attitude, and not detest Mac offhand?
We don't know if it's offhand. Support of his opinion would be offtopic, probably long-winded, and probably earn him a few flamebait/troll mods just because.
I saw this show in Lexington, KY. Trust me, the stills on the article don't do it justice. You really have to see the show to appreciate how dynamic and fluid the effects are. Unfortunately, the videos on YouTube are pretty washed out because any camera small enough to sneak in has poor quality, and can't handle the bright lights well.
I've also seen the Blue Man Group concert tour (three times!) and there's no comparison. The FX in BMG's "How to be a Megastar" tour are good, but this blows them away.
I believe if they follow their previous concerts, they will also release a blu-ray of the concert as well (taking the best performances). I wasn't aware of these Nin concerts until I picked up their latest concert blu-ray from amazon. It's literally mind blowing how well their technology synchronizes with their performance. I don't get out much (usually I stay in my moms basement hacking linux on the weekends), but if they come to New York I might get tickets. Concerts like those are worth leaving the h
That or a really big nail file!
And as some comments have stated, the article doesn't do justice to actually watching the show.
They are my favorite band and it was an amazing thing to watch them perform... I'll go again if I get a chance to
The "stealth" screens they talk about are really just Stealth(TM) branded LED screens, which have a fairly wide dot pitch to allow gaps to see through. They are being used right now on such cutting edge projects as Broadway musicals, trade shows, etc. etc. They neither are invisible to radar nor move like ninjas.
When does technology stop being marketroid buzzwords and become art?
This is new because Trent Reznor does things himself, and does them right. It's possible to throw as many screens and lights as you can afford on a stage, but for a concert experience all that matters is how the tech is used. In this case, the artist's vision is directly responsible for the design, programming, and implementation of the effects... and that makes all the difference.
I can't imagine Toby Keith or Rascal Flatts disappearing i

Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright said what deputies initially told media was a bomb at the BMW plant turned out to be a water filtration device.
Wright said a large drum was found left behind a vehicle in Lot D of the west entrance off Brockman McClimon Road on Friday afternoon.
Deputies told FOX Carolina that they initially believed the drum contained a "chloride granulated bomb."
Wright said it was actually a filtration device that looked and smelled like a bomb.
The fire department spotted the device and reported it.
Public information officer Kevin Bobo said multiple fire departments, a hazmat team and other support responded to the scene.
Wright said the owner of the water filtration device forgot to tell security about it.
"During the two-hour investigation, BMW Team Members were kept at a safe distance away from the parking lot and traffic was diverted around the area. As a safety precaution, BMW delayed the start of its night shift at its Assembly Halls so all Team Members could enter and exit the west entrance parking lot safely once the situation was clear," BMW said in a statement.
BMW said the entire plant will resume normal schedule on Friday night.

Number of ratings 17 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
This class seems intimidating at first, but she allows notes on quizzes and tells you what to study for the midterm. Grade mostly based on papers. She talks an incredible amount about sex which is a little awkward. She talks about all the readings during class and knows soooo much random stuff it's ridiculous. Know when the great plague was.
In FRE 131 she is pretty easy. She lets you use notes for all of the quizzes and tells you what to study for the midterm. You do have to write a lot of papers but if you work with the TA you are pretty much guaranteed a A- on them. Most of class is her talking about the stories you read. You definitely need the book for this class.
Real disappointment. I love French, and she ruined it. Her idea of teaching was having us partner up and do textbook exercises. It's super easy to get an 'A', but if you have to go past 202, taking her is a bad decision. I had to take 310, and I really felt how behind I was because I learned nothing in her class. Not super nice, either. AVOID.
While she knows a lot about French literature, art, and history,her manner of teaching is not that great. She expects us to know as much as she does. Regurgitation of facts is valued over engagement with the material. Her grading is the most subjective I've seen from a prof as people with the same answers can get different grades.
Because I took this to finish the College of Arts and Science language req, I took it credit/no credit. She was perfect for the last in a long series of French classes, because I didn't really have time to devote to the class, and I could've easily gotten an A. However, compared to other classes, I didn't learn much, if at all :/
She's really nice and her tests and compositions are do-able.(She is an easy grader too!) Just do the work and the class really isn't that hard. I'm not that great at French and I had an A all semester. Take her!
A very nice, well-meaning,abd intelligent woman that doesn't understand the art of teaching. As a French-French Education double major, I was disappointed with the almost complete lack of French and the emphasis on reading Latin and Occitan. The one thing I liked were the writing conferences after each paper. A lot of wild tangents and busy work.
If you can avoid it do NOT take her class. I loved the subject before this and now I hate it. She's very rude and doesn't treat her students with respect. Her teaching isn't helpful because she just reads the vocab to us then has us work on it with a partner. This class was a disappointment and a waste of my time
Like it has already been said, a brilliant woman. Yes, she does expect that everyone is as enthusiastic about the subject as she is, but that isn't unreasonable in an upper division class. If you don't understand what it is she's saying or think she's scatterbrained, you aren't intelligent enough to take the class - her thoughts are always relevant
She does not grade essays as hard as my high school French teacher, but I did not enjoy her class at all. She didn't really give us much direction and expected us to have as many deep and philosophical ideas as she did. There is a lot of writing: essays, notes, tests, etc. I did well in the class but would avoid her in the future.
She is a very smart person but she is just not helpful. She is so confusing!
She is the worst teacher I have ever had. She pretends to be nice and helpful but she is not (she is really fake). She is not organized at all. We were supposed to work on French feminism but we studied everything but French Feminism. I did not learn anything with her. This class was a total waste of time.
She is really brilliant, that is obvious, but sometimes her brilliantness gets in the way of her teaching. She really knows the subject, and she knows a lot about French culture. But she's also scatter-brained and because she's so smart, it's intimidating to ask her for help.
she's a pretty ok teacher, she does get on tangents but they can be interesting. She graded very easy in my class, and the subject material was pretty easy too. In 202 she gives out a syllabus and everything is well-organized.
Don't understand? DON'T ask a question! Her answers will leave you more confused than before you asked. Every class is one long speech that could be titled, "What I know and why you should be impressed by me." There's no such thing as "too smart to communicate." Communication is part of being smart and part of her job. Avoid her.
Very unclear because it seems like she knows so much she doesn't know how to explain it in a way we will understand. The class was just unorganized and hard to follow because she can just ramble on for hours giving you so much information that when it comes time to take a test, you have no idea what you actually need to know for it.

Remember when Chantelle Houghton took yonks to name her daughter with Alex Reid?
Well actor Fred Savage is taking his sweet time too.
The Wonder Years star revealed this week that he and wife Jennifer had welcomed a baby boy into the world.
However he has now admitted that the tot remains nameless.
He told Us Weekly: "We started this really tough thing for ourselves where we just left the hospital with no names and wanted to live with the baby for a little while."
The 36-year-old needs to get their son's birth certificate paperwork done by Friday afternoon in the United States.
He continued: "We had some names in mind so . . . we're narrowing it down."
Friend is also dad to Oliver, six, and Lily, four. And while he handles fatherhood, his younger brother, Ben is gearing up to become a dad himself! Well, kind of… This week he announced the confirmation of a sequel to his popular '90s series Boy Meets World.
Fred – who has directed episodes of the programme - said: "Ben's thrilled! He's very excited."
Ben, 32, joked this week on Twitter: "I'm going to be a father! Well, on TV at least. The Boy Meets World sequel is officially happening!"
Ben is set to reunite with Danielle Fishel as they portray married parents to a 13-year-old daughter on the series.

Herman Cain and the race card card
2 comments:
The "seriously negative perception" that ian speaks of is nutured 24/7 by leeches such as himself,jesse jackson,al sharpton,danny glover,harry belafonte,etc.,etc.,blah,blah,yawningly,blah,blah,blah!Anyone with a grade school education knows that during the civil rights movement(the real one,not the leftist fabricated crap of today),the Dummycrats were the party who so visiously fought de-segregation,and equality,not the Republicans.The problem with hussein obama is not his so-called political history(Uh,present),it`s his total lack of ever working anywhere,leading any type of team in actual work where you actually sweat,toil,and make it own your own merits,making out a simple payroll anywhere,writng anything on your own(did he use his teleprompter to supposedly write his books?),thus leading to the sad,emabarrassment by the chosen"liberal darling,"that the moronic liberal faction refuses to stop covering up his huge mess,no,Herman Cain is actually a proven leader in the business world.He really does qualify as a roket scientist.He has taken ruined businesses,such as our nation at present,and turned them around into a flourishing,thriving business.He has the business know how to fix what this bafoon has created,or at least,begin to correct his multiple mistakes since taking office.
People such as ian amaze me with their ignorance, their perception ,the tired rhetoric,that they are"above the rest of us"with their so-called knowledge.They really need to clean their brains out but they are unable to do this because,well,their heads are up their rear ends,so,no-can-do for them.They`ll just remain"the stupids!"When will the senate lobby to get Frijoles Negroes off of the black bean cans?Oh,such a racist expression by these terribly racist bean companies!Ha!Ha,ha,what a bunch of pathetic panty-waists!!!

well,dont i stand corrected by this paragon of intelligence i guess i should learn what intellect and patriotism really is so i can be a good citizen of the businessofamerica lolololol

It's going to be a competitive summer for everyone, as we've detailed in the past, but few films have a tougher fight ahead of them than Sony's "Total Recall." A remake of the Arnold Schwarzenegger action sci-fi picture that's beloved by geeks everywhere, the new version has exchanged visionary helmer Paul Verhoeven for the much less popular Len Wiseman ("Underworld," "Live Free and Die Hard"), and toplines the still-unproven-as-a-box-office-draw Colin Farrell, rather than Arnie. Not to mention it's going head to head at the box office with "The Bourne Legacy," which is after an identical demographic.
Marketing on the film has been quiet so far, with only a few leaked images getting out, but finally some footage has arrived at The Film Stage, in the form of what seems to be some kind of Taiwanese Comic-Con spot (or something) for the picture. And while brief, what there is of it has not exactly made us feel that much more optimistic about the project; Wiseman has swapped the bonkers Mars setting for something left over from unused concept drawings from "Minority Report," and traded Verhoeven's sure hand for CGI-aided camera moves.
Still, the film's got a strong cast, with Farrell (certainly a better actor than Schwarzenegger) joined by Jessica Biel, the director's missus Kate Beckinsale, Bryan Cranston (as villain Cohaagen), Bill Nighy, Ethan Hawke, Bokeem Woodbine and a crazy wigged John Cho, and the script got a polish from "Zodiac" writer James Vanderbilt, so hopefully there's reason for optimism. We're sure a full trailer will be along sooner rather than later, and "Total Recall" will arrive on August 3rd. Watch the clip below.

Oh please, spare me the bullshit descriptions of Paul Verhoeven. The man was a hack who made far more shit than he ever made good. As for this footage, it's the exact same rough, unfinished footage shown at last year's Comic-Con. There is nothing official about this footage. What is there looks better than anything in Arnold's B-Grade shlock.

When the Sky's the Limit
Carter Wrenn
posted on December 07, 2012 12:26
Up in Washington, right after Obama won reelection, House Speaker John Boehner held a press conference to announce he'd seen the light and was ready to compromise and accept more tax revenues (which translated from political speak into plain English means higher taxes).
Next the House Republicans set off in hot pursuit of Hispanic votes, passing a bill that, as Arizona Republican Jeff Flake put it, "
staples a green card"
to the diploma of immigrants who graduate from colleges in the United States with degrees in Math or Science.
House Republicans also proposed allowing immigrants who are working here to bring their spouses and children to the United States without having to endure the wait for additional visas or green cards – then, as a fig leaf, to cover their flanks with less open-minded Republicans they proposed to end the
Diversity Visa Lottery Program
– a long-standing program that grants visas to immigrants from Africa and Asia.
None of this troubled the Democrats in Congress.
They simply said,
That's not a big deal. We'll do all that – plus we'll pass the 'Dream Act' and keep the "Diversity Visa Lottery Program
Republicans placed a bid to buy Hispanic votes.
The Democrats said,
We'll see you and raise you
And the bad news is – in this poker game – the sky's the limit.

SOCIAL SECURITY is praised worldwide as the very best program.
I gladly paid a little for 35 years for a small pension. I appreciate it.
It pays it's way. Since 1981, the government has borrowed 2700 Billion from it.
It draws interest on those securities.
The top rate can be increased as needed to keep it solvent for decades.
A change to tax "all" income will do much to keep it solvent.
Gambling in derivatives should be taxed. It is usually simple one on one betting.
Such actions adds nothing to our Standard Of Living.
MEDICARE is pay your way. The problem for 50 years has been rising costs.
The World Health Forum ranks us 37% on Efficiency in Health Care yet we pay far more than most efficient. President's audit team has gotten billions in fines and paybacks from overcharges.
VETERAN ADMINISTRATION. Yes! They earned our upkeep for fighting our wars.
Try criticizing benefits to top 10% for such as tax breaks, refunds, etc.

Isn't it a shame that in our country today we have to offer things that are totally against all of our immigration laws so as to gain political support? Any other country ON EARTH doing that? Of course not.
The democrats know that if they offer up work permits that aren't actually within our immigration law and quick paths to citizenship for the massive numbers of illegal Mexicans in our country, they'll be seen as their "savior" and will get the lion's share of that vote. Now, from what I'm reading, they're offering up that for most other immigrants....Asians, Eastern Europeans, Southeast Asians and especially muslims from everywhere around the world...they're going to continue their political hold on America. Ah, yes....America. That's what our country is called, but it ain't even CLOSE to what it was meant to be. Guess we'll all have to duck and dodge all of these new culture additions here and change our way of life to "accomodate" them because, hey, we don't want to be seen as a country that has it's own culture and heritage and way of life. No way, y'all. America is where everyone can come and change it to suit their own particular beliefs and cultures.
God help my children and grandchildren.

There is a precedent of a country that found it expedient to avert its eyes from what was happening along its border for a couple of generations. The country I'm thinking of had a pressing need for immigrants to settle and develop a far-flung territory that few of its own citizens cared to venture into, so for a couple of decades government policy was to ignore the influx of illegal immigration and hope for the best. That country was Mexico, and that territory was Texas. By ignoring the threat of illegal immigration Mexico lost not only Texas but California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and a chunk of Colorado--not to mention thousands of lives, and a good deal of its national pride.

Progressive Credit Union in New York City has a very unique field of membership. According to the credit union's About Us page:
In order to become a member, an individual or credit union needs to be recommended by another member.
Many readers have been trying to find members willing to give them recommendations, but there doesn't seem to be many members out there. It is a small credit union. According to the latest NCUA data, it has 5,905 members. This is down from 6,478 members when I reported on this credit union in July 2010.
Progressive Credit Union members are probably not searching the web for the best CD rates since Progressive has offered very competitive CD rates for the last couple of years. Below are the current CD and IRA CD rates as listed in the credit union's rates page as of 1/5/2011:
- 1.71% APY 12-month CD
- 1.76% APY 15-month CD
- 1.81% APY 18-month CD
- 2.17% APY 24-month CD
- 2.53% APY 36-month CD
- 3.29% APY 60-month CD
Another plus with these CDs is an early withdrawal penalty of only 180 days of interest for terms of 3 and 5 years. Shorter terms have a penalty of only 90 days. These are listed in the right column of the rate table.
As a comparison to internet banks on 1/5/2011, the best 5-year CD rate is 2.75% APY at Salem Five Direct and the best 3-year CD rate is 2.00% APY at One West Bank. For credit unions with easy membership, the best 5-year CD rate is 2.93% APY at Melrose Credit Union and the best 3-year CD rate is 2.25% APY at Fort Knox FCU.
Progressive Credit Union has an overall health score at DepositAccounts.com of 5 out of 5 with at 6.71% (excellent) based on September 2010 data. Please refer to our financial overview of Progressive Credit Union. The credit union is federally insured by the NCUA (Charter # 60064).

The uppers are super soft leather with an adjustable buckle heel strap. The famous "microwobbleboard" sole is, as usual, in rubber.

10 Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in Limerick
About 24 kilometers away from Shannon International Airport, Limerick (third city of the Irish Republic) is made up of the older district of English Town to the north, at the junction of the Shannon and Abbey rivers, and two districts to the south of the Abbey River, Irish Town and Newtown Pery. Generally speaking, Newtown Pery is the more upmarket area as well as the business and banking quarter with O'Connell Street as the principal thoroughfare. In this street and in Mallow Street, which branches off it, are some attractive Georgian buildings. Interestingly, the famous 'limerick' poems didn't necessarily originate in the city, but were probably first conceived in England. As well as taking in the city's must-see attractions, visitors should see the surrounding Shannon area with such gems as picturesque Adare village and medieval Bunratty Castle.
1 King John's Castle
Starting from Sarsfield Bridge, a leisurely 15-minute walk takes visitors to King John's Castle, arguably the city's most photographed attraction. En-route, with short detours, are the Hunt and Limerick City Museums. The 13th-century castle stands to the right of Thomond Bridge and rises imposingly above the Shannon. The pentagonal fortress, with a main block, three round corner towers, a bastion, and a two-story gatehouse has been thoroughly restored and is the historic jewel in Limerick's crown. Parts of the complex now serve as exhibition rooms. The history of Ireland and Limerick are brought to life by means of reconstructed scenes. In addition there's a video display, information about the excavation of Viking houses, defensive works, and siege tunnels.
Hours: Open year round April-September 9.30am-5.30pm, Oct-March 9.30am-4.30pm
Admission: Adults €10, children 0-5yrs free, 6-16yrs €8, seniors €9.45, family €30(2 adults & up to 6 children)
Address: Nicholas Street, Limerick
2 St. Mary's Cathedral
Around three-minutes drive from St. John's Castle, Church of Ireland St. Mary's Cathedral is considered to be one of Ireland's hidden gems. A place of worship has occupied this site since 1168. The West Doorway (originally the entrance to the former Royal Palace) dates from the 12th century and it's claimed that marks on the surrounding stonework were made by defenders of the city sharpening their swords during various sieges. This door is now only used during ceremonial occasions when those wishing to enter must knock first before entry is granted. A stroll through the interior takes visitors through a timeline dating from the early medieval ages to the present day. The vaulted roof, gothic stained glass windows, medieval floor tiles, and elaborately carved 17th-century choir stalls and marble tombs all bear witness to a tumultuous past.
Admission: €2 per person
Address: Bridge Street, Limerick
3 St. John's Square and Cathedral
About a 10-minute walk from St. Mary's Cathedral, St. John's Square consists of ten fine stone-faced Georgian townhouses dating from around 1750. The houses fell into serious decay over the centuries, and by the 1970s were derelict and ready to be demolished. Thankfully this didn't happen due to a combination of private and public funding. Recently, a further one million euros was spent upgrading the location. Adjacent, early-gothic St. John's Cathedral (named after St. John the Baptist who is said to have a connection to the city through the Knights Templar) boasts the highest church spire in Ireland.
Address: St. John's Square, Limerick
4 Limerick City Gallery of Art
A little under two kilometers from St. John's Square, the Limerick City Gallery of Art occupies the Romanesque Carnegie Building dating from 1906. The building was funded by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919) and was originally called The Carnegie Free Library and Museum. It's now one of the leading contemporary art galleries in Ireland and home to an important collection of Irish 18th to 21st century art in all media, amounting to more than 831 works. The gallery also holds the National Collection of Contemporary Drawing and the Michael O'Connor International Poster Collection consisting of more than 2,800 works of international design. Adjacent to the gallery is People's Park on Georgian-styled Pery Square.
Hours: Open daily, Monday, Wednesday, Friday 10am-5.30pm, Tuesday 11am-5.30pm, Thursday 10am-8.30pm, Saturday 10am-5.00pm, Sunday: 12:00pm - 5.00pm
Admission: free
Address: Carnegie Building, Pery Square, Limerick
5 People's Park
Beside the Limerick City Gallery of Art, People's Park, dating from 1877, is the city's principal green space. A large selection of mature deciduous and evergreen trees dot the park and, during the spring and summer, visitors can admire a wonderful display of flowers. Other features include a memorial on a giant pillar to Thomas Spring-Rice (MP for Limerick 1820-1832), a 19th-century bandstand, an ornate drinking fountain, and two gazebos.
Hours: Open 8am to dusk, and 8am-9pm (3rd week in April - 4th week in August)
Admission: free
6 Glenstal Abbey
Under half-an-hours' drive from Limerick city (R445/R506) brings visitors to beautiful Benedictine Glenstal Abbey set on a serene 500-acre estate. Day visitors are welcome to visit the grounds and the church, and those who wish can attend the liturgy. Scenic walks meander around the grounds, which are adorned with beautiful trees and flowers and provide a sanctuary for wildlife. The remains of Ireland's primitive oak forest lie along the perimeter. It should be noted that the school buildings and playing fields are not normally open to the public. Visitors can browse the wide range of books and souvenirs in the gift shop (generally open daily 9.00am-5pm).
Hours: Open daily
Admission: free
Address: Murroe, Co. Limerick
7 Lough Gur Prehistoric Site
Around 26 kilometers from Glenstal at Holy Cross on bow-shaped Lough Gur, this prehistoric site is a National Monument of exceptional interest. The Heritage Centre re- opened in June 2013 after extensive refurbishment and now boasts state-of-the-art facilities. Visitors can find out about the rich heritage of Lough Gur by visiting the interactive multimedia exhibition that brings to life more than 6,000 years of archaeology and history. During the 19th century, the lough was partly drained and evidence of occupation going back to the Neolithic period was found. Notable features include a wedge-shaped passage grave, stone forts, a Neolithic burial site, a burial mound with a circle of standing stones, a fine double stone circle, a crannog (an artificial islet now linked to the shore), and a cult site with an almost monumental entrance. There are also two medieval structures, 16th-century Bourchier's Castle and 14th-century Black Castle in addition to a ruined 17th-century church.
Hours: Open summer, Monday-Friday 10am-5pm, weekends midday-6pm; winter, Monday-Friday 10am-4.30pm, weekends midday-5pm
Admission: Adult €5, seniors & students €4, children €3
Address: Lough Gur, Co. Limerick
8 Adare & Adare Manor
A 25 kilometer drive from Lough Gur (R512/511) lies quaint Adare village and magnificent Adare Manor. The village hugs the wooded west bank of the River Maigue on the busy road leading to Killarney. With its thatched roofs and old grey-walled church, it has something of the air of an English hamlet. The arched stone bridge gives an attractive view of the beautifully planted banks of the river and old buildings in the background. Dating from 1832, the a neo-Gothic mansion, Adare Manor, is set in a park, which is now largely occupied by a golf course and was converted to a luxury hotel some years ago. The principal rooms, including the hall and picture gallery, are open to the public. The Tea Room affords pleasant views of the gardens and terraces. In the park, on the banks of the river, are the extensive ruins of 13th-century Desmond Castle, a romantic sight with its semicircular towers and lushly overgrown walls.
9 Foynes Flying Boat Museum
About a 40-minute drive from Adare, Foynes Flying Boat Museum is a must-see for aviation and 20th century history enthusiasts. Housed in the old Foynes terminal building, this is where flying boats would make their post Atlantic stopovers. There's a comprehensive range of exhibits and graphic illustrations including an authentic 1940s cinema; the Radio and Weather Room complete with transmitters, receivers, and Morse-code equipment; the Brendan O'Regan restaurant; and the only full sized replica B314 flying boat. Budding aviators can practise on one of the flight simulators.
Hours: Open March 15th-May 31st 9.30am-5pm, June-September 9am-6pm
Admission: Adults €11, seniors & students €9, children under 14 €6, under 5s Free
Address: Foynes, Co. Limerick
10 Bunratty Castle and Folk Park Editor's Pick
Just over 15-minutes' drive from Limerick city (N18/E20) is one of Ireland's most renowned and fun attractions, the much-loved Bunratty Castle. No visit to the Shannon region would be complete without coming here. Dating from 1425, the castle is the most complete and best-preserved medieval fortress in Ireland and was restored in 1954 to its former glory. It now contains mainly 15th- and 16th-century furnishings, tapestries, and works of art instilling a mood of distant medieval times. Intrepid souls can attend evening medieval banquets during which certain guests may be banished to the dungeons below.
The Folk Park is a reconstruction of how Ireland was more than a century ago. Set on 26 acres, the impressive park features more than 30 buildings in a 'living' village and rural setting. Farmhouses, village shops, and streets are recreated and furnished as they would have appeared at that time according to their social standing, from the poorest one-room dwelling to Bunratty House (1804). This fine example of a Georgian residence was built for the gentry and home of the Studdarts, the last family to occupy Bunratty Castle. The half-acre walled kitchen garden is a particular treat.
Hours: Open year round 9.30am-5.30pm
Admission: Adult €10, seniors €9.45, under 16 €8, under 6 free
Address: Bunratty, Co. Clare

Standing outside WLS-TV's fishbowl-like studio on State Street, I watch Karen Meyer laugh with the midday news anchors. When the producer starts counting down, marking the time until the news comes back from commercial, Meyer quickly composes herself and waits with laserlike focus for her cue. As she introduces her segment, she speaks with an impediment and begins to sign.
It's the first time I realize that Meyer, an award-winning broadcast reporter, is profoundly deaf.
Meyer, 57, is one of those people who have energy to spare, which is a good thing considering she has multiple jobs. In addition to reporting two segments a week for Chicago's ABC News affiliate, Meyers teaches at DePaul University, where she's also the coordinator of the Office of Students with Disabilities, and owns a consulting firm that specializes in disability issues.
Meyer, who is married and has two dogs, is the only deaf broadcast reporter in any large TV market, and is one of the only reporters dedicated to covering disability issues.
In November, Meyer, who was raised in Wilmette and lives in Lincoln Park, was awarded with a Chicago/Midwest Emmy for Outstanding Achievement for News Specialty Assignment Report/Series, an honor that joins more than a dozen other distinctions she has earned.
Q: What exactly caused you to be deaf?
A: We are not sure what the problem is, but both my brother and I have been totally deaf since birth.
Q: When did you start reporting on disabilities at ABC?
A: I have been at ABC for 21 years. I say I am like a cat with nine lives because I've had many careers. This is a career I had no intention of getting into, but the station's former general manager convinced me. I met him while I was working for United Cerebral Palsy Association doing Americans with Disabilities Act consulting work and followed up with a letter offering to train the staff in understanding the disability community.
He accepted, and I came to speak at one of his breakfast meetings. I … gave a whole presentation on how the ADA was changing workplace rules and how there needed to be more coverage because it was going to be a hot topic.
Two months later the former news director and former general manager said we like your idea, here's a job. My first reaction was, "Wait a minute, I am not a journalist, I have a speech impediment and if I put the ear piece in I won't be able to hear anything." They said as long as you know the stories, we will figure everything else out, so I said OK.
Q: Do you face any hardships when reporting a story?
A: I do two separate stories a week; one airs Thursday at 11:30 a.m., and the other airs during the Sunday morning news. I do everything I can on my own; I come up with the ideas, write all my own stuff. The only thing I can't do is screen my tapes, but I have an intern to help with that.
Q: How long have you been teaching at DePaul?
A: Last quarter I taught my 26th class at the university. I have been teaching disability culture and exploring Chicago to first-year students for the past 16 years. I created those courses. I am also the coordinator for the Office of Students with Disabilities, where I help to provide accommodations to all students who need them.
Q: One of your more interesting accolades is that you were appointed by former President Clinton in 1994 to be the vice chairperson of the President's Committee on Employment for People with Disabilities. What was that like?
A: It was an amazing experience. I got to meet the big movers and shakers in Washington. We meet a couple times a year and work on employment issues in the disability community. How I found out I was nominated is actually a funny story; I was sitting at home, and my friend was over, and the phone rang, so I told him he had to answer it. He answers it and hangs up and says it was "the lighthouse." We both thought that was weird, then the same number called back, and he picked up again. His face turned bright red, and he said, "Karen, it's the White House. You've been recommended for a presidential appointment."
Q: Do you think it is easier for children with disabilities now than when you were growing up?
A: Yes — first of all they have access to information; email, texting, video chatting and computers. Also, the public has a greater awareness of people with disabilities. Plus we have laws such as ADA and (Section) 504. More importantly, young kids and teens are opting for the cochlear implant, which gives them access to hearing sounds, although they will still be deaf.
Remarkable Woman: Karen Meyer
Covering disability issues for WLS-TV is second nature to this journalist, who has been profoundly deaf since birth.

Department does not expect Luas to break even until 2007
Tim O'Brien and Emmet Oliver
The Department of Transport does not expect Dublin's Luas system to break even until 2007 at the earliest.
The department, which last year described the prospect of a subsidy for Luas as a "doomsday" scenario, has made provision for a payment of €3.28 million in 2004 and €2.32 million in 2005. It declines rapidly to just €161,000 in 2006.
The original Luas cost-benefit analysis was predicated on the system not requiring a subsidy from the Exchequer, breaking even on operating costs from year one.
Last year the Railway Procurement Agency (RPA), which developed Luas, revealed the break-even figure was 20 million passengers a year.
However, this week Minister for Transport Martin Cullen told the Oireachtas Select Committee on Transport that current figures "exceeded all expectations" at 300,000 per week.
That figure, subsequently confirmed by the department, equates to just 15.6 million passenger journeys per year, or 4.4 million journeys short of target.
The Minister's spokesman also confirmed the financial "Luas deficit" provision which amounts to €5.761 million over the three years.
Meanwhile the Minister is to set up a new umbrella body to run and manage transport in Dublin, including the Luas. He said there needed to be greater integration between different services, and co-operation between the various transport advisory bodies.
In an interview with The Irish Times, he said a new brand, Dublin Transport, would be created. It should be a "high-powered" organisation like Transport for London.
Transport for London manages London's buses, the underground, the Docklands Light Railway and London trams. It also runs London river services, Victoria coach station and a transport museum.[/b]
Mr Cullen has also indicated that the Government will remain financially committed to Aer Lingus for many years. He said if it was to maintain a 25 per cent shareholding, it would probably have to invest again so its stake was not diluted below 25 per cent.
Commenting on the Luas situation, RPA spokesman Ger Hannon said 15 million passenger journeys were achieved by the first week of June of this year, one month before a full year's operation of the Green (Sandyford) line.
The Red (Tallaght) Line would only have "ramped up" to full service in May and has only been in operation for eight months. Based on this, "the rounded figure [of 15.6 million] is probably a bit on the low side".
He added: "I still reckon we could reach 20 million in a full year of both lines."

Edit: So we're about a week and a half from the birthday bash, and I'd like some final numbers, especially from those on the fence. Also, if you're electing to bring something (and don't feel you have to) then I'd like to know as well just for planning purposes.
As previously mentioned last night in the GDT, the missus and I are going to be throwing a birthday party for Mark Reynolds on August 3rd, which is a Sunday.
What: Mark Reynold is turning 25, so therefore we need to get wild.
When: August 3rd, 2008 at 11:00am to whenever. The D'backs are in LA and play at 1pm.
Where: Our house. It's East Scottsdale, we'll let you know when we get a list of people who want to come.
Okay, this doesn't sound wild yet? Then you'd be wrong. There's going to be a cake, and streamers, and barbeque, and soda, and chips, and maybe adult beverages for those of you old enough, and the baseball game, and maybe even balloons. I know! Balloons!
Should I bring something? If you want, we'll provide the basics of cake, burgers, hot dogs, chips, and soda. If there's something you want to bring, than sign up here. Want Creamsicles? Sign that up. Beer? Sign that up. Otter pops or Dunkaroos? Sign that up.
I have ideas, who do I call? Post it here, so Reynolds' Quarter Century Bash can be even more awesome.

After years of struggling with homelessness and drug addiction, Katie has found sobriety, sanity, and loving community as a young queer trans woman in South Minneapolis. Now you can find her volunteering at the MN Trans Health Coalition's Shot Clinic, serving on the GLBT Host Home Program Advisory Council, or juggling fire on a unicycle in the park.
Her strength and healing has come in part through her work with TYSN as an Advisory Board Member. The resources, community, and empowerment available to her within this organization have become a foundation for her life. Having worked with TYSN since it's inception, she has seen her personal growth run parallel with the growth and emergence of TYSN as a leader in community organizing towards racial, social, and economic justice for trans and gender non-conforming youth.
Now she is excited to see her own leadership skills emerge in the community as the Executive Director of TYSN. Her commitment to ensuring the lasting sustainability of services and community for trans youth, in particular young trans women of color, is unwavering and fueled from her own experiences utilizing the tools available to her in the Twin Cities to heal.
In the past two years she has transitioned into the role of service provider herself, as a Youth Counselor at Avenues Shelter for Homeless Youth. She now carries with her intimate knowledge of both receiving and providing social services, and continues to develop her solidarity with local youth of color to work against the oppressive systems that would see our community demolished.
As she continues to grow more fully into her self, she is determined to increase the opportunities for trans and gender non-conforming youth to do the same. Please join her in realizing our collective strength and liberation in her position as Executive Director of TYSN.

Imagine saving as much as $1,000 per child, every year, just by switching to cloth diapers.
Lakisha Windle has used both disposable and cloth and is glad she made the switch. Her full time job is taking care of her children, 3-year-old Isaac and 18-month-old Kyla.
Like any mom, she wants to do what's best for her kids and save a few bucks in the process. After Kyla arrived, Lakisha became frustrated with the cost and nuisance of buying diapers.
"When she came along, I had two kids in diapers, and we were buying a box of diapers every week - diaper pail refills, baby wipes every week," says Lakisha. "It was getting out of hand."
She exclusively used disposable diapers with Isaac, but having two kids in diapers was too much. So she switched to cloth. She says the switch saves her at least $200 a month.
"That's a lot of money! That's a grocery bill right there," says Lakisha. "It does save so I'm glad we made the switch."
After having used both, Lakisha says cloth is no more yucky than dealing with disposable.
She has a stash of cloth diapers next to her changing station. The snaps not only ensure the diapers fit from 3 months to potty training, but they make for easy changing too. No pointy pins.
After each change, the diapers are thrown in a smell-proof "wet bag." The whole thing, bag and all, gets thrown in the wash. She says it's about two extra loads of laundry a week.
"It really wasn't any different," says Lakisha. "You still have to change it, you still might smell a little poop. Some poop might blow out. But when I was using disposables I had more blow outs then with my cloth. A dirty diaper is a dirty diaper."
Lakisha has found herself addicted to ease and cost savings of the cloth diapers.
And they're making a big comeback. Memphis' first cloth diaper store opened in 2012 - Over The Moon Diapers.
Over The Moon Diapers is in the front room of Courtney Moser's home. Her goal was to provide a place where Memphis moms could learn about and purchase cloth diapers.
"People's automatic assumption if they don't know anything about it is, 'oh that's so disgusting.' And it's just, it's more sanitary, it's better for the baby, it saves money, it's truly not disgusting," says Moser. "The biggest person I had to convince of that was my husband, and now he's such a big believer. "
Get the cloth squares your grandmother used as diapers out of your head. A modern cloth diaper is more like a disposable but there's several varieties to fit every families life style.
"Pocket diapers" have an absorbent insert that goes in the outer shell. The two pieces are separate for faster drying.
The "all in ones" act just like disposable, all one piece. You just snap it on the baby and go. The whole thing goes in the wash.
"Hybrids" have an absorbent insert that snaps off. You wash the insert every diaper change, but cuts down on laundry because the shells can be used several times before washing.
A flushable liner is a product that can be used in any cloth diaper. No environmental impact, they break down in the sewer system within a few days. No more stinky diaper pails in the house waiting for garbage day.
"It kind of looks like a sheet of Bounce (fabric softener)," says Moser. "Then if you have a dirty diaper you can shake that off, or lift it off and dump it in the toilet, and flush it away. You didn't really have to touch anything."
Moser says the environment is big motivation for cloth diapering moms. Every year it's estimated that 27 billion diapers are used in the United States. About 25 billion end up in a landfill. It's estimated each diaper will take 250 to 500 years to decompose.
"Estimates are that for one baby from birth to potty training, you're generating one ton of waste that goes into landfills," says Moser. "So that's another great consideration for why people should use cloth diapers."
But she says its the cost savings that is the most attractive.
Cloth diapers run about $14 to $23, and absorbent inserts are around $8 each. The flushable liners are about 5-cents each.
The number of diapers you need depends on which cloth diaper system you choose. The average investment is $400 to $500.
The one size diapers work from three months until potty training, and can be used if you have more kids, or even sold used on the Internet.
When you use disposable, you'll probably use at least 6,000 diapers by the time the child is potty trained, for a total cost of around $2,000 give or take depending on the brand of diaper.
That equals big savings.
"The best estimates we come up with are anywhere between $1,500 and $2,000 per child from birth to potty training, which is really significant," says Moser. "Especially if you're able to invest that money in an education fund for your child or something, that's a big savings."
Like most moms, Lakisha was drawn to cloth for the cost savings, but she sticks with it for the little extras. She's become sort of a cloth diaper spokesperson, even converting a few of her friends.
"Most people would have said 'Kisha would never do cloth diapers,' but I love it, and that's what I try to tell them," says Lakisha. "It's easy, how much money you can save, how its healthier for the baby, and it's healthier for the environment. So those are the things I mention to them - and they're cute."
Over the Moon Diapers has a 12-week infant diaper rental program. They also have a two-week trial program if you're unsure, or want to experiment with which style of diaper is best before you invest.
