It plugs into the top of your MP3 player (or any other gadget with a headphone jack) to split two pairs of headphones so you and a loved one can listen to the same music, soundtrack, audio book, whatever. The only thing I can't decide is whether seeing a cute couple sharing this bright red headphone splitter on the bus would be totally cringe-worthy.

It's bright red and has a keychain where you can hang it on your keys. I thought that was neat. If you put the 2 headphones together on each end, that gives me the impression that the ipod or MP3 player has a hart that beats and has arteries wiring up to my ears to function as part of it's brain. Now if mom wants to listen to my ipod i have to bring extra headphones so that she doesn't have to use one earpiece.

Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority reportedly sold $130 million in bonds to purchase Harrisburg, Pa., waste-to-energy facility.
The Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority (LCSWMA), Lancaster, Pa., has reportedly sold $130 in bonds on Dec. 11, 2013, as it moves toward the purchase of the Harrisburg Materials Energy Recycling Recovery Facility (HMERRF), in Harrisburg, Pa.
According to the report on www.lancasteronline.com, LCSWMA plans to close on the deal Dec. 23.
In 2012, LCSWMA CEO James Warner told Renewable Energy from Waste that when the deal goes through, "This will be the first time a public entity buys a waste-to-energy plant, which is news in itself. Usually you don't have one public entity buying another."
With the addition of the Harrisburg plant, the Lancaster system will increase from a 600,000-ton-per-year system to a 900,000-ton-per-year system, according to Warner.
The city of Harrisburg selected LCSWMA as the winner of its competitive bidding process to purchase the facility in June 2012. The facility is said to have contributed to the city of Harrisburg's $320 million debt.
LCSWMA said in 2012 that upon acquisition of the HMERRF, it will manage a system consisting of about one million tons of solid waste per year, generate total revenues of approximately $87 million and position itself as one of the largest generators of renewable energy in central Pennsylvania, powering the equivalent of 55,000 homes.

I bought Feria hair dye in black two summers ago, and I've got to say, it turned out terribly. I took a shower to wash the excess dye out, and the color covering my roots turned blue. Within a few hours, the color was almost all way gone from my hair. It was a complete waste.

The first major of the season is fast-approaching and Tiger Woods is on the hunt for his fifth US Masters title when play gets underway at Augusta on Thursday. Woods has taken the famous green jacket home four times and it is no surprise that he starts as the 9/2 favourite with Paddy Power, who will refund all losing bets if Woods takes the title again this Sunday.
Woods' last victory in the tournament came back in 2005 and his record at Augusta is formidable - he has finished in the top-ten in 12 of his 17 appearances here and ten of those have seen him finish in the top-five. He was tied for fourth last year as he continued his record of never finishing worse than sixth on each of his last seven appearances here.
Woods has of course endured some tough times, both on and off the course, in recent years but he arrives in decent nick this year after he quashed any lingering injury worries by winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational, his first PGA Tour win since 2009, for the seventh time less than two weeks ago.
The biggest threat to Woods' bid for a fifth Masters appears to be Rory McIlroy, who is 11/2 second favourite in the latest betting. McIlroy has taken the mantle from Woods as the superstar of the golf world and he will be bidding to make up for a quite horrendous final day at August last year. The Northern Irishman produced three scintillating rounds of golf to lead for three days, only to throw away a four-shot advantage with a final round 80. Victory at the US Open a few months later may have helped to ease the pain but McIlroy has unfinished business here.
It was Charl Schwartzel who took full advantage of McIlroy's Masters meltdown in 2011 as the South African went on to claim his first major title. Schwartzel produced a final round 66 to charge to victory by two shots from Australian pair Adam Scott (33/1), who closed with a couple of 67s, and Jason Day (35/1), with paddypower going 35/1 for Schwartzel to retain his title this week.
Phil Mickelson knows all about repeat wins at Augusta as 'Lefty' is a three-time Masters champion. He tied for 27th last year after winning in 2010 and he has a record at Augusta that only Woods, in this week's field, can beat. Mickelson has finished in the top-ten on 13 of his 19 Masters appearances and he is 11/1 to take glory this year.
World number one Luke Donald has picked up his form after a sticky start to 2012 and he is 18/1 to claim his first major tournament victory this week. Donald tied for fourth last year but that maiden major title continues to elude him, although he might just sneak under the radar with all the attention on Woods and McIlroy this week.
Hunter Mahan is very much on the radar after his victory at the Houston Open on Sunday, with the American having finished in the top-ten of the Masters for two of the past three years. Mahan is available at 30/1 with Paddy Power, who are paying out on the first six places at Augusta this week.
9/2 Tiger Woods
11/2 Rory McIlroy
11/1 Phil Mickelson
16/1 Luke Donald
20/1 Lee Westwood
30/1 Hunter Mahan
33/1 Keegan Bradley
33/1 Justin Rose
35/1 Charl Schwartzel
35/1 Jason Day
50/1 Bubba Watson
50/1 Dustin Johnson
50/1 Nick Watney
55/1 Steve Stricker
55/1 Sergio Garcia

Portable Spoof-Me-Now 1.0
Portability advantages
You can drop the program files in any part of the hard disk and just click the executable to run. There is also the possibility to save Portable Spoof-Me-Now to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any PC with minimum effort and no previous installers.
Worth taking into account is that the Windows registry and Start menu do not get updated with new entries, so no traces are left behind after the app's removal.
Simple interface and options
The interface is user-friendly, based on a single window with a plain and simple structure that provides direct access to all available options. All you have to do is select a network adapter, view the current MAC address and specify the new one you want to change it into.
Spoofing the MAC address is done with the click of a button. There are no other noteworthy options available here. Unfortunately, the app does not implement an option for resetting the address to default.
Evaluation and conclusion
Portable Spoof-Me-Now applies the new modifications rapidly and without any issues, like triggering the operating system to hang, crash or pop up error messages. It has a good response time and runs on low CPU and RAM, so it does not affect the overall performance of the PC. All in all, Portable Spoof-Me-Now serves its purpose.

The Special Needs of Aging Parents
When it comes to taking care of your older parent or relative who is living with diabetes, there can be many difficult moments. How do you help your elderly loved ones deal with keeping track of their medication, remembering to monitor their blood sugar, and making sure they have their home stocked with diabetes-friendly foods?
Talk openly with your loved one. Whether you are approaching the subject directly or waiting for the perfect moment, open lines of communication can make all the difference. Instead of telling them what they should do, ask what their preferences are. Would they prefer to take advantage of home delivery grocery services? Or would they rather have someone come with them to the store to help them shop?
Avoid role reversal. If you are taking care of your parent and their diabetes management, be careful not to talk to them as though they are the child. Respect the fact that your mother or father has the right to make their own decisions and that it is best for you to work together on achieving their goals instead of working in opposition.
Encourage them to be actively involved. Help your parent or loved one take responsibility for their health. Help them prepare for their visits to the doctor by making a list of questions and concerns that they want to discuss, or symptoms that they are experiencing. Encourage them to follow the medical advice they receive and help them find ways to implement the doctors suggestions. Work together to make their diabetes management plan a reachable goal.
Be prepared. It is important for an older person to have a system in place for dealing with emergency situations. Make sure there is a list of emergency contact numbers in an agreed upon, obvious place in their home. Also, keep an updated list of all medications that your loved one is taking and have that list posted prominently in their home. For your loved one who may be living alone, look into personal medical response services. Also, it is important that they are wearing appropriate medical identification jewelry, to keep them safe.

There is a yearly drawing event called Inktober (#inktober) and it's going on the entire month of October. The participants grab whatever drawing tool that uses ink and go for it with an Inktober drawing. It doesn't have to be daily, it can be anything you like. It's not too late to join either, come draw with me!
I didn't have a daily goal but so far I've made a drawing every day. We'll see how long I can keep this up. I love the art community and having little challenges like this.

Not only have developing-country stock markets underperformed high-income stock markets, developing country sovereign credit default swap (CDS) rates and yields (figure 3) have been rising, despite the improved ratings of developing countries, and strong investor appetite for developing-country bonds.FN2
Rising spreads, even as demand is strong and growing, may reflect a welcome and ultimately healthy improvement in market perceptions of the riskiness of investing in high-income countries. Part of the decline in developing-country risk premiums over the past five years was due to the increased riskiness of high-income country debt.FN3 Now that those risks have receded, investors may be shifting their portfolios back into high-income country assets, resulting in an increase in developing-country yields and spreads and better stock-market performance in high-income countries.
These developments may also reflect concern on the part of investors about inflation of asset prices in some developing countries (such as Brazil, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Philippines, Thailand, and Turkey) and the recent easing of commodity prices. Risk premia could have risen because high asset prices have been interpreted as a harbinger of sharp future correction; or if an expectation of lower commodity prices had raise concerns about future government revenues and governments' capacity to repay existing debt and spending programs.
2. Traditionally, risk premiums are measured as the difference between developing-country yields or CDS rates and those of similar U.S. assets, with the idea that the U.S. assets proxy for the risk-free rate of return. As the crisis hit, the riskiness of U.S. financial assets clearly went up, even if yields did not, either in the short run because of flight-to-quality effects or later because of quantitative easing. At the same time, spreads on developing-country financial assets declined. Only part of that decline can be explained by improved credit quality (IMF 2013b), the rest being explained by the increased riskiness of the base rate and the reduced cost of credit.
3. Since January 2013, 10 developing-country borrowers have been upgraded and only six downgraded. In addition, over the past 18 months, eight developing countries (or developing-country governments)—Angola, Bolivia, Honduras, Mongolia, Paraguay, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Zambia—have issued bonds for the first time (in Bolivia's case, for the first time in more than 90 years). Since 2010, 14 countries have entered international bond markets for the first time.

In conjunction with allowing the poorest, least educated foreigners to flood into this country by the millions, our failed education system is creating a permanent underclass that every year is giving the USA a less educated work force. Add to that a culture in at least one segment of our society that devalues education in the first place and we have a recipe for the downfall of our country.
Dave Frum, the purported "conservative" columnist at The Atlantic brought up a report from 2007 that I had not seen before, a survey that is quite alarming for the health of this country.

Moving to Canada? Good For Burger King
-By Warner Todd Huston
Liberals are aghast with the news that fast food giant Burger King might move its headquarters to Canada if it buys out the Canadian fast food chain Tim Hortons. Libs are mad that BK is doing this to skip out on paying America's confiscatory taxes. Well, I say good for BK!
The accusation BK is facing from America's capitalism-hating lefties is that by taking over Tim Hortons and moving its HQ to Canada, BK is skipping out on its patriotic duty to pay the American corporate tax rate–which happens to be the highest tax rate in the industrialized, western world.
First of all, it is nothing short of a crime that Canada… CANADA… has a lower corporate tax rate than the United States of America. That's right, commie Canada has lower taxes and a better business climate than the country famously built on capitalism.

Socialism Doesn't Pay: Britain is Poorer Than Any US State But Mississippi

Fraser Nelson of The Spectator did some number crunching recently and found a shocking fact: Britain is poorer than every State in the USA but one.
As Nelson wrote on August 22, "if Britain were to somehow leave the EU and join the US … we'd be the 2nd-poorest state in the union, poorer than Missouri. Poorer than the much-maligned Kansas and Alabama. Poorer than any state other than Mississippi, and if you take out the south east we'd be poorer than that too."
This is both shocking and disheartening, especially to American liberals. The liberals all assume that Great Britain is still the jewel of Europe pointing to its nearly 100 percent socialist-styled government as a model of perfection. But it turns out that decades of socialism has laid Britain low making it worse off than every state in the USA but Mississippi…. and with Britain's jihadi problem, one would think it would be better to be a bit poorer in Mississippi than be forced to live in Britain!

So, a Starbucks in St. Petersburg, Florida went on a 10-hour roll with every customer buying the order of the customer behind them in the location's drive through. But it all came to a screeching halt when customer number 458 refused to play along.
Peter Schorsch, the dreaded customer 458, drove up into the line and delivered his order like every other customer. But when he got to the pay window and the Starbucks employee asked if he wanted to "pay it forward" and pay for the guy behind him, Schorsch broke from all the other customers and flat out said "no."
That's right, Schorsch said, no way, baby!
Up until mean ol' Peter Schorsch got in line the streak went ten hours and 457 customers paid for the guy behind them.
Schorsch said that he broke the streak on purpose, not by happenstance.

Failure: 'Cash For Clunkers' Cost America $6 Billion in Wasted Money

Obama's "Cash for Clunkers" program was his idea to save American auto buyers money and help "green" the roads at the same time. But the program was a monumental failure. It was so bad it has now been determined that it didn't save anyone anything. In fact, it cost America 6 billion in wasted dollars!
Along with the obvious problems with the program that showed up right at the beginning, now that the long term effects are starting to be quantified, it has become clear that the program forced auto buyer to spend less on their autos tan they would have costing the auto industry some $3 billion in sales.
A new study written by Mark Hoekstra, Steven L. Puller and Jeremy West and published by the National Bureau of Economic Research has found that the program caused buyers to spend about $4,600 less per purchase. Totaled that is about a $3 billion loss in revenue to the auto industry.
Then you add the other 3 billion Obama lavished onto the auto industry and we get $6 in federal waste.

Despite What Quinn Claims, Illinois Leads In Job Loss

On Monday the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that, contrary to Governor Quinn's rosy statements, Illinois has lost jobs over the last year. In fact job numbers are worse than they've been in 35 years.
Earlier in August, as he stumped for re-election, Gov. Quinn made a big show of the fact that unemployment has fallen in the Land of Lincoln. The federal government reported that the unemployment rate fell to 6.8 percent, the lowest level since August of 2008 when it was 6.7 percent.
Announcing the news, Quinn said, "Putting people back to work is my number one priority. There are more people working now than when I took office and today's good news shows that we are headed in the right direction."

Book Publishers Refused Bowe Bergdhal Book Because It Would Hurt Obama

Once again we get to see the how the powers that run our media establishment are sold out to the far left with this story of how some of Sgt. Bowe Bergdhal's platoon mates were blocked from selling a book they'd written because it might make President Obama look bad.
We know the allegations about Sgt. Bergdahl, of course. We know that some of his fellow soldiers think he is a deserter, not a POW. We know that there were charges that he and his wacko father have been excusers of Islamist terrorism and critics of the United States. We hear that several American soldiers died trying to gain this guy's freedom. And it appears that some of Bergdahl's fellow platoon mates tried to write a book about their own experiences with Bergdahl.
A former team leader of Bergdahl's platoon and one of those trying to shop the book said, "There was no way we were going to sit down and be quiet while Obama was calling him a war hero."
The retired Sergeant, Evan Buetow, went on saying, "We're just trying to tell the truth. It's not my fault this would make Obama look bad."

Taxpayers Lose $23.5 Million to Pay IRS Union Members to Do Union Business On The Clock

-By Warner Todd Huston
Here is a perfect example of why unions should be outlawed for all government workers. And I do mean all government workers. A new study finds that we, the American taxpayer, are ripped off to the tune of $23.5 million a year in tax money that goes to pay IRS union members to do union work while they are on the clock and supposed to be working for we, the people.
That's right, you the taxpayer are paying IRS workers not to do IRS work. You are paying IRS employees to do nothing productive.
This is called "official time" (sometimes it's called "union time") and it is paid to IRS employees who are officers in the government union. These union officers carry out union work on the clock, during the time they are supposed to be doing work for the IRS.
Some of the activities these thieves engage in are things such as organizing union meetings, talking to other union members about union matters, or going on union-sponsored training events that aren't training for IRS work but is instead training for union issues. And you are paying them a salary to do all this.

Happy Birthday Milton Friedman: His 7 Most Notable Quotes
July 31, 2014 | Filed Under Budget, Business, Capitalism, Chicago, Economy/Finances, Education, Free Trade, Jobs, Keynesian, Money, Taxes, Warner Todd Huston | Comments Off
-By Rob Nikolewski
Harry Truman once complained he wanted to find a one-handed economist because he was tired of asking a direct question of those on his economic team, only to have them say, "On the one hand … but on the other hand."
If there was one hand that noted economist Milton Friedman favored, it was the "invisible hand" of the free market.
Today marks the 102nd anniversary of Friedman's birth. He died in 2006, but during his long career Friedman won over admirers and drove left-of-center critics crazy with his direct and eloquent defense of capitalism.
Friedman won the Nobel Prize in economics in 1976. But perhaps his greatest influence was nudging people who otherwise may have had little interest in the "dismal science" of economics to look at the world through a new set of eyes and question their assumptions.

Worst American Governor Pat Quinn Urges Obama to Bring all Illegals to Illinois

Illinois Governor Pat Quinn has a great idea. He wants Obama to bring all the illegals to Illinois! In a state that sits at the bottom of every metric that makes a successful state–rampant unemployment, lowest job creation, highest debt, biggest pension crisis, worst business climate–Pat Quinn wants to import thousands of people who have no jobs and no prospects for one, people with no education, and people possibly full of diseases right here to the Land of Lincoln.
On Friday evening after the news day was done, Quinn announced that he is prepared to give as many illegals as Obama can spare a place to stay in Illinois.
During the announcement, Quinn spokesman Grant Klintzman said, "If a location is needed we are prepared to aid the federal government in finding a suitable one."

New Hampshire GOP establishment has foisted Walt Havenstein on the state as the Republican candidate for Governor. But, typical of these establishment types, it seems that they have more contempt for people on their own side than they do for the real enemy; the Democrats. Havenstein, for instance, calls you Tea Partiers the disgusting name "teabaggers." Not only that but he refuses to apologize for his slander.
Havenstein was recorded on video calling members of the Tea Party "teabaggers" at talk he gave a few years ago at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business.
Now, one might note that this speech was a few years ago, sure. Maybe Havenstein has changed his mind, maybe he was just trying to be "funny," maybe he really doesn't hate conservatives?

Now Destroying Unions is the Same as Reforming Government

Years ago folks that stood against unions always had that one obstacle of "private" concerns in the way of urging people away from unionism. But today, with most unions being tied directly to government, now fighting unions is an act of beneficial government reform.
Once upon a time, the biggest hurdle for those arguing against unionism was the simple truth–and it was a truth–that unions and businesses were private concerns and if the two entities agreed to co-exist, who was an anti-union activist to say anything against the arrangement?
This is a simple, logical question that always made anti-union activists look like meddling outsiders. And the truth is, no matter how right they were that unionism is a bad idea for everyone, they were meddlers!
But today we have a far different situation for those who stand against unions. Since 1959 when unions were first allowed to organize government workers unions have slowly encroached into nearly every aspect of government causing spending to soar, bloating pensions beyond belief, and destroying the efficiency of government.

Professor Jedediah Purdy of Duke University Law School feels that you are not thinking right and therefore he wants you forced through "conflict" to accept his religion.
I assure you that this wouldn't be his interpretation of the under girding of the essay he disgorged at Politico last week, but that is exactly what he is advocating nonetheless because his entire recipe for fixing our political culture is built on a religious-like belief in shadowy crises that he feels are besetting the country.
In fact, even as he pretended to be offering a "fix" for our political gridlock, he offered no proof whatsoever that the problems he thinks we face are based in fact. His entire piece was based on bald-faced assumption, all are forces taken as a given with not a single word to actually prove that his perceptions were real problems, the sort we should engage in "real" conflict to resolve.
Sadly, the essential lie-stiffened backbone upon which he hung the skeleton of his argument is what passes for "deep thought" at our fetid universities these days.

A new tabulation of private sector job creation finds that Illinois created a dismal 500 non-government jobs in 2013 making it the single worst state in the Midwest and almost the worst in the country (again).
The Illinois Policy Institute put out its jobs report card recently and found Illinois to be one of the worst of the worst. It was the worst of the Midwestern region and the second worst in the whole country.

The tea party movement is often accused of not thinking long term. In many cases this is probably a true accusation because most tea partiers think an election is a goal in and of itself. But with the underhanded, anti-conservative, un-American tactics of the GOP establishment that gave Thad Cochran a primary win in Mississippi, it is obviously time for the tea party to start planning the destruction of the GOP establishment.
Thad Cochran and his patrons allied with former Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour did not run an honorable campaign. In the waning days of their campaign it was their strategy to lie about conservatives, throw the race card and scare vulnerable black voters with tales that the KKK would swoop down upon them if Cochran's tea party opponent won the primary, dole out cash to voters for their vote, and tell them Cochran would increase free food stamps for them if they crossed over and voted in the GOP primary.
In short Haley Barbour and the senile Cochran perpetrated every low down, Democrat-styled trick to destroy a true conservative candidate just so they could remain in power. These so-called Republicans purposefully disenfranchised tens of thousands of Republican voters.

This one is pretty amazing. The US Supreme Court has delivered a unanimous slap to the President saying that his recess appointments were illicit. Even the court's liberals said Obama was wrong on this.
If you are out of the loop, here is what happened: Obama wanted to make some extremely partisan appointments to the National Labor Relations board (NLRB) so that he could deliver even more pro union decisions in the disputes between labor and businesses that the NLRB is set up to adjudicate.
The U.S. Senate did not like his choices because the folks Obama wanted to appoint were obvious union shills that would further erode the NLRB's status as an unbiased arbitrator between labor unions and the business sector (as it is supposed to be).

"Illinois recorded the second-worst growth in gross domestic product of any state in the Midwest," Lucci wrote, "according to this week's release from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The Illinois economy grew by just 0.9 percent in 2013. Only Missouri grew slower, at a sluggish 0.8 percent."

But officials made no effort to discuss the issue with local residents ahead of time.
The town hall was called when residents found out about the government's plans.

On Wednesday Obama's U.S. Patent and Trademark Office summarily eliminated the trademark protection for the Washington Redskins' name and it was done purely for political reasons, not legal reasons.
Obama's lackeys told the NFL team that their name was 'disparaging" to native Americans and so the government canceled six federal trademarks for the team.

Once again Illinois and California are neck-and-neck in the calculations for the worst of the worst U.S. states, this time in a measure of how friendly the states are for the growth of small businesses.
Earlier this month thumbtack.com released its third annual survey of the climate for small businesses exploring such ratings as the overall friendliness of the state to small businesses, the ease of starting a business, regulations, ease of hiring new employees, taxes, and other criteria.
The poll was conducted among over 12,000 small business owners across the country.
The survey, held in conjunction with the Kauffman Foundation, found that the worst states for small businesses were California, Rhode Island and Illinois, all of which got a Thumbtack "F" rating. The next worst were Connecticut and New Jersey, both of which received a "D" grading.
Illinois has descended in its rating each of the three years that the survey has been conducted having earned a "D+" in 2012, a "D" in 2013, and an "F" in 2014.

I have been made aware that the great Jack Roeser passed away last night. This is a great loss to conservatism in Illinois, but Jack was in his 90s and in delicate health, so it isn't a surprise, sadly.
Mr. Roeser was very generous with the fortune he built from the ground up as owner of Otto Engineering, a high tech firm located in Carpentersville, Illinois.
Roser was a hard charging conservative and often made folks both left and right mad at him for his choices of causes and candidates, but he was also unapologetic and fearless. In this day and age when people are always mewling and apologizing for their actions, you have to admire a real adult like Roeser making his choices and sticking with them regardless of the "consequences."

Brazile piece written her piece for CNN notes that the whole of Washington was surprised by GOP strongman Eric Cantor's primary loss and is shocked that he will not be returning to Congress even as he thought he was headed to a big primary win and looking forward to more and more power if not the Speaker's chair itself.
After chronicling Cantor's loss Brazile also touched on the run off that establishment Republican Thad Cochran has been reduced to in Mississippi and pointed out that Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell only won his own primary in Kentucky by edging closer to Tea Party principles during his campaign.

There are some other onerous and downright absurd regulations being proposed, too.
In one case, Obama plans to make it illegal to have walk-in humidors at your local cigar shop.

It's all the rage, all of a sudden, for national restaurant chains to start posting little, powerless stickers on their doors in the attempt to tell law-abiding, legal gun owners that their business is not welcome there. But it is also a new rage for criminals to repeatedly rob those same stores because they now know that no one inside will be armed. Imagine that.
Lately several restaurants have made news by claiming to have banned guns inside their stories. Buffalo Wild Wings, Chipotle, Sonic, Chilli's and Starbucks are all claiming they have banned legal gun owners form doing business with them.
Take the Sonic fast food chain, for instance. This month the Sonic corporate heads got their tiny little minds together and announced that all Sonic customers will henceforth be unarmed. Consequently, the very day the company made this grand announcement, one of its locations was robbed.
The attack happened in Topeka, Kansas, only a few hours after Sonic made its cute little announcement that firearms were banned within and around their restaurants.

Just Desserts: Silly Facebook Billionaire Ripped Off by Teachers Unions, Democrats, & Consultants

Oh, he thought that just because he had billions of dollars, all he had to do was flit into a New Jersey school system, spread some of his cash around, and voila kids would get a "good" education. But reality was a different thing as when Mark Zuckerberg tried it, he found that the greedy teachers union stole all the cash and his millions didn't help the kids at all.
Yes, Facebook Billionaire Mark Suckerberg–er, I mean Zuckerberg–was mugged by reality and found out exactly why Johnny can't read. Because our system of mis-education is held prisoner to the anti-education, greedy, uncaring, left-wing teachers unions who don't give a flying fig about the kids. It's all about them stealing as much cash out of the system for their bloated pensions and high-salaried union bosses as humanely possible quite despite whether it hurts the kids or not.
In 2010 super rich Suckerberg gave $100 million big ones to help turn around Newark, New Jersey's failing schools. He made a big show of the whole thing, too, even making his announcement on the Oprah show.

Obama Admits Government is a Failure? VA Allows Vets to Get Private Care!

After several weeks of scandalous failure to provide timely healthcare to our military veterans, some dying waiting for care that would never come, the Veteran's Administration has now decided to allow veterans to pursue more private healthcare options to improve their treatment. But isn't government turning to the private sector in stark contrast to the theme of the age of Obama, one that holds that private business "didn't build that" and that we need to further empower government?
On May 24, the Associated Press reported that VA chief Eric Shinseki has announced a new plan for VA hospitals and healthcare providers to work more with private doctors. Shinseki told the press that the VA is "increasing the care we acquire in the community through non-VA care."
Shinseki makes this concession as 26 VA facilities thus far have come under investigation for forcing sick veterans to wait for months to receive medical care. Up to 40 or more veterans died waiting for care on these lists.

Kate Robbins (born 21 August 1958 in Margate, Kent) is an English actress, comedienne, singer and songwriter. She came to prominence in the early 1980s when she scored a No.2 hit on the UK Charts with the song "More Than in Love", while she was appearing in the TV soap opera Crossroads. She went on to become a prolific voice artist, most notably for nine years with the satirical show Spitting Image.
Robbins is a first cousin once removed of Paul McCartney and older sister of fellow actress Amy Robbins (her mother and McCartney were first cousins). She attended Wirral Grammar School for Girls and won the Drama Prizes each year, notably with her monologue "All this glitters is not gold". Her first released recording, in 1978, was of the song "Tomorrow", owned by McCartney's music publishing company, from the musical Annie. Robbins' first chart appearance was as a backing singer, along with her sister Jane, on the minor Top 75 hit "Lines" by Liverpool group the Planets, a spin-off from Deaf School. Her profile was raised soon afterwards when both she and Jane represented the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest 1980 as part of the group Prima Donna. They finished third.
The following year, Robbins joined the cast of the ITV soap opera Crossroads, playing the part of a pop singer who was recording a single in the fictional motel's basement recording studio. The song, "More Than in Love", was released commercially in the UK (credited as Kate Robbins and Beyond) and gave Robbins a major hit single, reaching number 2 in the UK Singles Chart.[3] It was her only hit. The backing group Beyond had taken part in the UK's Song for Europe contest earlier in the year, losing to Bucks Fizz. In late 1982, Robbins provided backing vocals on the Top 3 single "Story of the Blues" by Wah!, but was replaced for the band's Top of the Pops appearance by London soul trio Sylvia and the Sapphires.
Robbins wrote the first theme tune to Surprise, Surprise and provided almost all of the female voices on the television show Spitting Image in the late 1980s and early 1990s.[4] The 1986 Granada Television sketch show Robbins featured Kate, her brother Ted Robbins, and her sisters Amy Robbins, Jane Robbins and Emma Robbins, the last now best known as one of the singers with the Sheilas.
She participated in the 1989 Children's Royal Variety Performance on BBC TV, singing her own comic songs at the piano, and featured in the original series of Dead Ringers on BBC Radio 4 in 2000.
From 1995 to 1998, Robbins did all of the voices, including the male ones, on the children's television series Caribou Kitchen.
Robbins also provided the English language dubbing for Europeans, featured on the Channel 4 series Eurotrash and, in 2006, made two appearances on the BBC Radio 4 programme Just a Minute.
In 2007, Robbins was awarded an Honorary Bachelor of Arts degree from Bedfordshire University, for her lifetime contribution to the Performing Arts.
Robbins is separated from composer Keith Atack, by whom she has three children,[5] including actress Emily Atack[6] who played Charlotte Hinchliffe in The Inbetweeners.
In December 2010, Robbins released her third album, a jazz based affair, entitled Soho Nights,[7] which was written as a collaboration with the Italian saxophonist Alessandro Tomei, and recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London.
Film and television work[edit]
Robbins acted in feature films. She was named Best Supporting Actress at the Angel Awards of the Monaco International Film Festival, for her role as Kathleen in the low-budget British film, Fated.[8] In 2005, she played Joan alongside Johnny Vegas in Sex Lives of the Potato Men. In 2006 she appeared with James Franco and Jean Reno in the film Flyboys playing the role of Clarisse, a brothel Madame. She has been cast in the comedy film Lunchbox as a man-hungry teacher called Suzanne.[8]
Robbins appeared in two series of the BBC Television comedy series dinnerladies, playing the character 'Babs' a friend of 'Petula Gordino' played by Julie Walters. Robbins later appeared with the sitcom's writer Victoria Wood in the BBC TV special Victoria Wood with All The Trimmings.
Robbins has worked on many comedy TV shows including Last of the Summer Wine, Heartbeat (Series 15 episode 'Wine & Roses' (first shown in 2006) The Harry Enfield Show, Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights and Shooting Stars. She has also appeared in Holby City, two series of Where the Heart Is, Doctors and Casualty. She is currently working on the second series of The Legend of Dick and Dom for BBC One and worked on Soapington Way in 2010, which was written by Harry Hill.
Robbins can also be heard as a voice-over artist on many commercials. She was the Edith Piaf soundalike on a lager advert. She was the 'Doris Day' voice on a Waitrose supermarket commercial. Her singing can be heard on television advertisements for Clover, Debenhams, First Choice Holidays and many more. She also recorded the Capital Radio jingle package for Sue Manning Productions.[citation needed]
She also played the singing ring in the mini series The 10th Kingdom, which aired in 2000.

Hello from all of us at Story Leather. It looks like October started and ended in an instant. With the weather cooling we're breaking out our winter wear and leather is always an in option, but how do you know what you're getting is the real deal? Well in the past weeks we've posted a few Leather 101's from various experts in the field, but this week we have the pleasure of having an expert from Tandy Leather to give us some insight on leather! Don't forget to check out their website for all your leather needs, they even have some awesome do it yourself kits as well as all the information about leather that you could ever want.
Story Leather: There have been some very impressive copies of leather lately, but how could you tell the difference based off the feel of it?
Tandy: The better the quality, the less chance of telling the difference by feel.
Story Leather: What about just looking at it? Are there subtle differences that once can look for when trying to spot a fake?
Tandy: More often than not nowadays the only way to tell is by looking at the back for some type of fabric backing.
Story Leather: Although Polyurethane Leather or Bonded leather is fake, but how is it they can say they are made with genuine leather?
Tandy: Bonded leather is not fake leather, however it is kind of like the particle board or plywood of the leather world. A bonded leather product can be called leather, and "Genuine" leather. Typically bonded leather is recycled from the excess leather that is cut from full hides during the tanning process. It is ground down to the fibers and then bonded together with a bonding adhesive and rolled out in to sheets, similar to the process of making paper. The sheets are then sold in rolls like fabric.
With some of the higher quality synthetic leathers, you may not be able to tell the difference from the surface. Typically the back is lined with fabric to make it easier for sewing, however if you cannot see the back of the leather, you may not be able to tell. As the quality improves, synthetic leather is being used more and more in leather jackets as it looks like genuine leather, is less expensive and is a bit more water repellent.
Story Leather: I understand there are varying thicknesses of leather and the more rugged ones are thicker. Is there a downside to the thinner "luxury" leathers as opposed to the Rugged hides?
Tandy: Some thinner luxury leathers can be made from pigskin or goat. They are quite soft and can be good quality, however calf and cow leathers have tighter grain fibers which make them more durable.
Story Leather: Lastly I wanted to ask about the different "leather grades". Could you explain a bit more about top grain, full grain, Suede, etc?
See catalog pages 4-5 ( https://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/eflyer/tandy-leather-buyers-guide-2015/tandy-leather-buyers-guide-2015.aspx )

Former Destiny's Child member, Beyonce Knowles, has denied rumors she's been secretly married to longtime boyfriend, Jay-Z. The singer, widely popular for her sexy image, quashes the marriage rumor in Vanity Fair magazine, claiming she and the rapper aren't even engaged.
She firmly says "No" when being asked if she was hitched, and insisting "I'm not" when asked whether she's engaged.
In time, Beyonce also said that she assumed an alter-ego called "Sasha" for her sexy stage persona in an upcoming Vanity Fair cover story.

The Broken Circle Breakdown uses a swirling chronology to tell a family melodrama. Didier (Johan Heldenbergh is a Flemish musician who meets Elise (Veerle Baetens), a tattoo artist; the two quickly fall in love. He plays banjo in a bluegrass band, which she soon joins as a singer. Didier and Elise marry, and the vigorous melancholy of the music complements the early joy and later tragedy of their relationship.
Disparate pieces of this story are gathered up and presented in a whirl, and the themes touched on feature alternating aspects: America as a place of energy and freedom and retrograde politics; religion as a plague and a comfort. Even the film's musical touchstone–"Can the Circle Be Unbroken (By and By)"–contains a rhythmic hiccup caused by alternating time signatures.
In short: It's a strongly affecting story of love and loss, all to the tune of homespun music.
The Broken Circle Breakdown (reviews) (official site)
Directed by Felix van Groeningen
Written by Carl Joos and Felix van Groeningen, based on a play by Johan Heldenbergh and Mieke Dobbels
Languages: Flemish, English
Award: 2014 César for Best Foreign Film
Running time: 112 minutes
DVD release date: March 11, 2014

Introducing News Feeds (RSS)
News feeds are an easy way to keep up with websites without having to constantly visit them. When a website is updated, that site's newsfeed can notify you and give you a link to the new content.
All you need is a feed reader (also known as an "aggregator"). Most current web browsers have feed readers built in. You can also use web-based readers or dedicated software.
How do I start using News Feeds?
To get started you need a feed reader. The four most common types are:
Email software (MS Outlook 2007)
Web browsers
If you are using a current browser like Internet Explorer 7+, Firefox 2+, Opera 9+ or Safari 2+, your browser already has a feed reader built in. All you need to do is click the link to a news feed and your browser will display the feed and/or prompt you to subscribe.
Aggregator websites collect feeds from multiple sources into one single website. It's an easy and convenient way to use feeds, particularly if you use more than one computer. Popular aggregator websites include:
Many web portals and customisable start pages include user configurable feed modules.
Feed reader software
Feed readers run on your computer like any other program. Some examples:
For more options, see the DMOZ Feed Reader, News on Feeds listings or Wikipedia's RSS Reader entry which links to lists of feed readers.
Email software (MS Outlook 2007)
Visit the Microsoft Office website for instructions on how to add a feed in Outlook 2007.
How do I find feeds and subscribe to them?
Finding Feeds
News feeds on this website are linked using the industry-standard orange icon.
There is a "feeds" module in the right-hand column of most pages, which lists a selection of feeds.
Subscribing to feeds manually
When you see the feed logo in a web page
- Right-click the icon or link
- Select "Copy shortcut" or "Copy link location"
- Go to your chosen feed reader
- Paste the link into your reader's "add feed" process (the exact procedure varies)
Subscribing using browser features
For each page on the website, the most relevant feed is attached using an "autodiscovery" link. What this means is compatible browsers will display the feed logo in their location bar or toolbar. For example, Internet Explorer 7 displays a "Feeds" button:
While Firefox shows the logo in the location bar:
When you see the logo in your browser:
- Click the feeds button
- Your browser will display the feed and/or prompt you to subscribe to the feed
Each browser and reader is a little different. If in doubt, you should view the help file for your software.

The Allen County Republican Party will again bring a prominent conservative to headline its bean dinner fund raiser.
Chairman Steve Shine today announced that Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul will speak at the event scheduled for Oct. 25.
While a location and pricing has yet to be determined, Shine said he has already been overwhelmed with interest for the event. He said the party will likely need to book a venue that can hold 700 guests.
The Tea Party favorite is the son of Texas Congressman Ron Paul and has advocated for a smaller federal government and balanced budgets. He follows last year's speaker, Mike Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor who ran for president.
"Our goal is to bring in as many national speakers as possible," Shine said.
Shine thanked Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-3rd, for helping secure Paul as the speaker. Stutzman also helped bring Huckabee last year.
