Iceland: The Lies We've been Told About Iceland's "Recovery"Submitted by barracuda_trader on Mon, 07/22/2013 - 10:02
July 22, 2013
Reykjavik, Iceland
Without doubt, Iceland was the canary in the coalmine for the sovereign debt crisis that is unfolding across the world right now.
It was the first place to go bust, crumbling under the weight of a credit-fueled boom that brought down most of the country's banking sector and sent the currency into freefall.
Banks either went bust or got nationalized. And investors around the world suddenly woke up to a sobering reality of a major default... something that had been considered preposterous only months earlier.
The situation got so bad that the British government (whose taxpayers had much to lose from Iceland bank defaults) used their anti-terrorism legislation to seize Icelandic bank assets in the UK!
It was a spectacular collapse. And the first of many. Ireland, Greece, Cyprus, etc. were soon to follow.
Yet unlike the bankrupt countries of southern Europe, Iceland dealt with its economic emergency in a completely different way.
Politicians here are proud that they never resorted to austere budget cuts that are so prevalent in Europe.
They imposed capital controls. They let the banks fail. And, as is so commonly trumpted in the press, they 'jailed their bankers and bailed out their people.'
Today, Iceland is held up as the model of recovery. Famous economists like Paul Krugman praise the government for rapidly rebuilding the economy without having to resort to austerity.
This morning's headline from The Telegraph newspaper sums it up: "Iceland has taken its medicine and is off the critical list".
It turns out, most of these claims are dead wrong.
For example, they say in the Western press that Iceland bailed out its people and jailed the bankers.
Not exactly. A few bankers were investigated and charged with fraud. The CEO of one of Iceland's biggest failed banks was even convicted, and sentenced.
Now, how long of a sentence does someone get for railroading his nation's economy? Life? 30-years? 10-years?
Actually nine months. Six of which became probation.
Meanwhile, the government ended up taking on massive amounts of debt in order to bail out the biggest bank of all-- Iceland's central bank.
This was a bit different than the way things played out in the US and Europe.
In the US, the Fed conjures money out of thin air and funnels it to the government.
In Iceland, since the Kronor is not a global reserve currency, the government had to go into debt in order to funnel money to the Central Bank, all so that the currency wouldn't collapse.
As a result, Iceland's state debt tripled, almost overnight, in 2008. And from 2007 until now, it has increased nearly 5-fold.
Today, the government is spending a back-breaking 17.3% of its tax revenue just to pay interest on the debt.
And this is real interest, too. Iceland's central bank owns very little of the government debt. The rest is owed to foreign creditors... putting the country in an extremely difficult financial position.
At the end of the day, the Icelandic people are responsible for this. They were never bailed out. They were stuck with the bill.
Meanwhile, although unemployment in Iceland is low, wages are even lower. And the weak currency has brought on double-digit inflation.
So while people do have jobs, they can hardly afford anything.
This is most prevalent in the housing market, most of which is underwater. Interest rates have jumped so much that many Icelanders are now on negative amortization schedules, i.e. their mortgage balances are actually increasing with each payment.
Meanwhile, home prices have been falling dramatically.
So each year, mortgage balances are going up, and home values are falling. Hardly the picture of recovery.
The freshly elected Prime Minister is now promising everyone relief from their mortgage debts via a special state 'debt correction fund'.
The only problem is that the state doesn't actually have any money to do this... and they're running a budget deficit every year.
The only way this can happen is if Iceland defaults... which is becoming a much more likley scenario.
A few years ago, Iceland's banking system was nearly 10 times the entire country's GDP. And it collapsed. You don't paper over a crisis of that magnitude with a few years of good PR.
Despite being so widely reported by the mainstream financial media, Iceland is not a story of model economic recovery. It's a story of how to fool people. And for now, it's working.
Notwithstanding such a harsh appraisal, I should also say that Iceland is simultaneously one of the countries we should be most worried about... as well as the most excited about.
They're not in the EU or on the euro, so they're relatively isolated in their fiscal troubles. This implies that default is inevitable.
And when that happens, Iceland will be shut out of international debt markets and be forced to pull out all the stops to attract foreign investment.
Believe me, the country has much to offer. And this is what's so exciting. More on that another time.
Until tomorrow,

Does any of this sound familiar?
Too bad we don't get reporting like this in the States, here are some excerpt from another article by the same reporter Jon Danielsson. Thanks for turning us on to this reporter and his work Barracuda Trader.
High domestic interest rates encourage domestic firms and households(and in our case the United States Government) to borrow in foreign currency; it also attracts carry traders speculating against 'uncovered interest parity'. The result was a large foreign-currency inflow. (KING DOLLAR POLICY OF THE 80'S & 90's) This leads to a sharp exchange rate appreciation that gave an illusion of wealth and doubly rewarding the carry traders. The currency inflows also encouraged economic growth and inflation; outcomes that induced the Central Bank to raise interest rates further.
The end result was a bubble caused by the interaction of high domestic interest rates, currency appreciation, and capital inflows. While the stylized facts about currency inflows suggest that they should lead to lower domestic prices, in fact the impact can be the opposite.
A key reason seems to be that foreign currency effectively became a part of the local money supply and the rapidly appreciating exchange-rate (UNSTERILIZED INFLOWS) leads directly to the creation of new sectors( and MAL-INVESTMENT) of the economy.
The exchange rate became increasingly out of touch with economic fundamentals, with a rapid depreciation of the currency inevitable. This should have been clear to the Central Bank, which wasted several good opportunities to prevent exchange rate appreciations and build up reserves.
In this crisis, the strength of a bank's balance sheet is of little consequence. What matters is the explicit or implicit guarantee provided by the state to the banks to back up their assets and provide liquidity. Therefore, the size of the state relative to the size of the banks becomes the crucial factor. If the banks become too big to save, their failure becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The relative size of the Icelandic banking system means that the government was in no position to guarantee the banks, unlike in other European countries. This effect was further escalated and the collapse brought forward by the failure of the Central Bank to extend its foreign currency reserves.
Like I said.... too bad we don't get reporting like this in the States…..maybe people would then see the reality…..the government is the problem….not the solution.
Kyle Bass at The Strategic Investment conference mentions this
I'm not exactly sure what time signature it is at...but Its in there. He mentions that Iceland is actually having problems.
I liked how he said this:
46:35 Do you worry about the US?
"I quit worrying about them because it's just a waste of time - I always leave DC demoralized"
"The central bank is the great enabler of congressional profligacy"
This doesn't sound right....
This doesn't sound right. Isn't what they did the opposite of the BAIL OUTS elsewhere? Rising interest rates are to be expected, followed by incentivized investment and savings. Isn't that how the free market recovers? I may have to brush up on this topic but I could swear this is what Ron Paul has spoken about. Nowhere was a promise that there would be 'zero pain'. But not nearly the amount of pain from a dollar destruction, inflation tax and a propped up economy leading to a HUGE BUBBLE BURST. Right?

Here's some more info
Iceland's post-Crisis economy: A myth or a miracle?
Jon Danielsson, 21 May 2013
"It's not pessimistic, brother, because this is the blues. We are blues people. The blues aren't pessimistic. We're prisoners of hope but we tell the truth and the truth is dark. That's different." ~CW

Hiidden falsehoods
Those who invent falsehoods know that the falsehoods are falsehoods.
Those who have falsehoods hidden from them are subject to those falsehoods.
"Banks either went bust or got nationalized."
What is private?
What is public?
If the bank is private then no one but the owner, or owners, are using that bank.
If the bank is not private, then is the bank public?
If the bank is advertized as a private bank, but the bank is a public bank, then that is a case of falsehood, a crime in progress, and following the money back to the source of it finds the criminals busy at perpetrating their crime.
If the bankers know it is a falsehood, then the bankers are not subject to the fraud in progress.
If the bank is already public, then how can the bank suddenly become "nationalized"?
Before I go on to respond, here, please look at this:
If people can stop thinking in terms of either/or Public or Private and begin thinking in terms of the following, then things may be less false for the subjects of falsehood.
Criminals hiding behind the false front of Public
Criminals hiding behind the false front of Private
Non-criminal accurately known as being Public
Non-criminal accurately known as being Private
Private banks are understandable as a water tower on an individual's section of land where that individual has exclusive use of that water tower. That individual puts water in that tower, banking that water, investing in that water being up in that tower. That private individual is then able to draw down that supply of water deposited in that bank of water.
What happens if a nearby group of people place a poison, such as chromium 6 into the water table and then that private banker who banks on water deposited into a tank finds that his water is no longer water, his water is now counterfeit water, or poison?
Does that mean that the private bank used by the private banker now has a public bank?
The water table is public access, obviously, proven by the fact that a group of people gained access to the public access water table, and this would not be so difficult to understand if someone walks up to you at a restaurant and that person pisses in your glass of water, pisses all over your dinner, pisses on you, and then that individual claims that what they are doing to you is helping you with your efforts to find happiness in America, and then that person hands you a bill that you must pay to that individual for all the help in the form of piss.
Would like to read more about
Would like to read more about this media/pr switcheroo. Does anyone have additional sources?

Almost 30 years ago, Tim Smith stepped into the general manager's office at The Pfister Hotel to interview for his first job with Marcus Hotels & Resorts.
Tim Smith, general manager at Marcus Hotels and Resorts' InterContinental Milwaukee, has been named general manager at Marcus' historic Pfister Hotel, the third to hold that position in as many years.

Comment: Re:Drupal hell. (Score 1) 65
[...]Or perhaps if I could just say "if you want that, go ahead and do that in the admin then". As it stands, I feel like drupal is costing me more time than it is saving me, and thus the learning curve doesn't seem worth it.
Bingo. I wouldn't suggest that Drupal is poorly written or that the documentation is bad. The fundamental problem with it is it creates more work than it saves. If your needs are specific, it's too rigid and if your needs are generic, it's too complicated to be worth it. I suffered from the former problem as every little thing I wanted to do required tapping into the core, meaning I had to redo whatever I did upon an upgrade. If you think Drupal might be a good solution for you, then you ought to try Django or writing something from scratch using Ruby on Rails or the Zend framework.

Different type of profile
From Wiki
Default User Profile
- A 'default user' profile is a template that Windows uses when it creates temporary or new profiles (either local or roaming).
- Every PC has a 'default user' profile (stored at "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User" for English Windows XP, and set as hidden).
- If there is a 'default user' profile stored on the NETLOGON share of the logon server, then this is used in preference to the local version.
All Users Profile
- The 'All Users' profile is another special profile which is loaded on top of whatever profile a person is assigned.
- The 'All Users' profile is most commonly used by applications to install desktop and start menu shortcuts to all current and future users of a specific computer. If the shortcuts were placed into the 'default user' profile they would not be picked up by accounts which already had a profile stored on the computer.
- The NTUSER.DAT file for the 'All Users' profile doesn't actually store any registry settings at all.
Temporary Profiles
- Windows will create a 'temporary' profile when a user who has a specified roaming or mandatory profile logs on, but the specified profile is unavailable (e.g. if the location of the specified profile cannot be contacted)
- Temporary profiles are automatically deleted with the user logs off. No data persists beyond the current session.
Local Profiles
- Windows will create a local profile when a user who does not have a specified roaming or mandatory profile logs on.
- The local profile will remain on the PC when the user logs off.
Roaming Profiles
- A roaming profile is simply a copy of a local profile which is stored at a remote location.
- When a user that has a specified roaming profile logs on, the profile is copied from the remote location to the local PC (Windows does check to see if there is already a local copy of the profile for the user which is no less current)
- When a user that has a specified roaming profile logs off, the profile is copied from the local PC to the remote location (Windows does check to see if the local copy is more up to date than the remote copy)
- If the policy setting 'delete cached copies of roaming profiles' is enabled, then the local copy of the profile will be deleted when the user logs off.
- Roaming profiles can be refined by either redirecting certain folders to different network locations (this saves on the content of these folders being downloaded/uploaded at user logon/logoff) or by excluding certain folders from roaming (again, helps save on network bandwidth).
- Please note that if a roaming profile is large it may take quite some time to copy to the computer being logged onto. For example if a user has several files either in their roaming desktop or documents folder, such as a movie file, it could take more time than a lesson allows for those files to be transferred to the local desktop or documents folder. Caution should be taken when allocating this profile type if network bandwidth is a consideration as too many roaming profiles will swamp a network with traffic, especially in a school where pupils and staff logon to a different computer several times a day. These problems can be avoided by redirecting the My Documents and Desktop folders to a network location. Additionally, there is a group policy setting which prevents users creating profiles larger than a predetermined size.
Mandatory Profiles
- A mandatory profile is a special type of roaming profile. The only difference is that the profile is never copied back to the remote location.
- If the policy setting 'delete cached copies of roaming profiles' is enabled, then the local copy of the profile will be deleted when the user logs off.
- A mandatory profile may be shared between many users. It is one way of providing a controlled working environment for users (with the addition of Group Policy settings).

Dark and grimy!
Ruane Maurice review
From Mello Music Group:
MP3: Apollo Brown f/ Has-Lo - "Heirlooms"
Detroit producer Apollo Brown recently released his new instrumental opus Clouds to universal critical & popular acclaim. A lot of emcees have been laying down vocal sessions over the inspiring collection of beats, but when the newest emcee to sign with Mello Music Group decided to jump on Apollo's Heirloom instrumental, we had to share it with the world. Has-Lo begins his verse over the relaxed beat contemplating the discovery of priceless treasures lost to time, then lays "a partition between me and the sea of emcees" that casually weaves it's way between claps, glimmering strings, and starightforward drums. As a bonus, the track fades out with cuts from Has-Lo himself. You can check the whole Clouds album of 27 Apollo Brown instrumentals everywhere and tomorrow you can check Has-Lo's debut MMG Album In Case I Don't Make It in an exclusive week early pre-release at itunes!

From S&H:
PR Co. Kicks Off Search for the Next Great Female Rapper
In Honor of Women's History Month, Newly Launched S&H Public Relations Celebrates Kick Off with National Campaign to Find the Next Great Female RapperPR company searches for independent female MC to lead the next generation of female rap artists.Los Angeles, March 2011 – S&H Public Relations is positioning itself as a new leader in the world of entertainment PR. Catering to independent Hip Hop artists, S&H aims to shine the spotlight on quality artists who lack proper promotion. Disturbed by the lack of women in an overwhelming male-dominated industry, S&H's first order of business is to address the issue by holding a national talent search for the next great female MC."No disrespect to Nicki Minaj but she shouldn't be the only one to come up in most mainstream conversations about women in Hip Hop. This tells us that something is very wrong with the way women are perceived in this field," says S&H Public Relations' co-founder Sebastien Elkouby. "Though female rappers such as Sha-Rock, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, and Lauryn Hill have all made history, women who rap have always been underrepresented. We decided to launch S&H in March to coincide with Women's History Month to send a message about the need for balance in Hip Hop."During the month of March until April 15, 2011, S&H Public Relations is accepting music from female rap artists around the nation. S&H co-founder, Carey Harris says, "We'll listen to as many artists as we can and select the one who truly brings something new to the table. We're looking for independent and unsigned artists who have that "it" factor but simply lack promotion." Artists are required to have some basic online presence as well as music available for download on their own site or sites such as ITunes, Napster, Amazon, SoundCloud, ReverbNation, or BandCamp. Elkouby comments, "I'm confident that we're going to find someone who's going to change the game and inspire a new wave of talented female rappers. It's just a matter of time now." For details and information, artists are encouraged to visit S&H Public Relations at www.SNHPR.com and click on Talent Search. Candidates are encouraged to send their links and copyrighted music to firstname.lastname@example.com. About S&H Public RelationsS&H Public Relations is a Los Angeles - based company dedicated to promoting Hip Hop artists and culture. We pride ourselves on working with artists who aim to push Hip Hop music forward. We believe that many talented Hip Hop artists, usually referred to as "underground", are often overlooked due to lack of resources. S&H's goal is to provide affordable public relations services to quality artists who are looking to receive greater exposure.

Nice place! The room the private sau a and the location just great !!!
Locația. Hotelul. Personalul. Totul
The pension is great, has a great design, with a historic charm. The receptionist with short hair (I think her name is Eva) is excellent. She is really helpful and very polite. Good parking.
The blonde receptionist is terrible. She speaks like she is always disgusted. She is not helpful and she's very rude. Answers all questions in 2 words and has no shame to roll her eyes in front of you, if she doesn't like your question. Our room didn't have a DND sign.

Every thing :)
They must bring a LED TV instead of the old TV
Two words: wonderful hotel !
Parking, Location
Unprofessional staff, no wifi in the room wich for a 5 star is unacceptable, breackfast poor
Loved the facilities-very clean and comfortable with style! The staff were very friendly and helpful. Great location. Found out when we got there that there were a few hotels that were closer to the slope, but it was really only about a 5-10 min walk to the slopes so it was not a big deal. Also a plus that they had a pretty big DVD selection to offer-great way to relax after a long day at the slopes.
The food at the restaurant was not amazing. The breakfast was pretty basic-eggs, cheese, meat, veggies, cereal. We got the impression it would be more extensive. Ordered the corn soup one night-it was VERY salty and tasted like it came from an instant mix. We are vegetarian so we did not try the meat however...
The stuff were very nice and helpful, breakfast is fresh and tasty, rooms are big, clean and pleasant with a nice view to the mountain. warmly recommended!
Checking out.
On arrival, the receptionist Adriana, immediately informed us that we couldn't have a room yet as the laundry had not arrived. We had driven hundreds of miles to get to Brasov, and made sure that we followed their check in procedure by arriving after 2pm, we arrived around 3.15. As soon as my Romanian partner began to speak about the situation in Romanian to her, she started to be rude. Saying it wasn't her fault, what did we expect her to do. My partner asked her if it was his fault? Which she just shrugged. I had to ask for a room as we were very tired. So we were given a room on the first floor directly above the main entrance. After an hour we asked if we could move to another room, and Adriana said we could move As long as we hadn't used the toilet or touched anything inside the room, which was very dusty anyway. If this is how they treat guests, I would ask anyone to avoid staying here, there are so many better hotels who want your custom. When we checked out, the manager told us, we specifically asked for a high floor room which wasn't ready when we arrived,so essentially it was our fault.
1- Good location. 2- Parking 3- General structure. 4- Staff from reception
1- Staff from restaurant (one of them). 2- Breakfast 3- Replacement of breakfast 4- Daily housekeeping 5- Bed for kid was just a improvised bed and not a Bedroom with extra bed.Terrible! The bed was broken.
over rated
The room was clean with a nice view over the mountains.
Breakfast is poor, staff unfriendly. We asked for a matrimonial bed but only got 2 twin beds. They claim they are a 5 stars hotel but in fact they are 3. And I think the overall price is to high for the services they offer, better book something else.
We enjoyed the breakfast and staff was very helpful. The rooms are very warm there are plenty of TV channels, including a DVD players and some DVDs you can rent from the reception.
There is no wifi at the 2nd floor, we could only connect to it at the ground floor. Some walls are rather thin, we could overhear the loud neighbors watching a movie.
The pension is really good positioned and the sourroundings are wonderfull. The rooms are clean and comfortable.
The pension/ hotel is rated as having 5 stars but in practice is a 3 star hotel. This thing is proved also by the certificate ppsted in the reception which indicates 3 stars and not 5. In a 5 star hotel in each room should exist a mini bar, the breaksfast should be well prepared - at this location not evn the coffee served from the house can be drink. The overall experience is of a 2-3 star hotel; the overall services should be improved a lot.

Huskies end a positive rebuilding season with an emphatic victory
The Huskies left you screaming for a lot of different reasons this season. They were neither dull nor easy to comprehend, but they did improve — significantly.
Seattle Times staff columnist
In the Huskies' new era, everything ends with an exclamation mark.
The trend started a year ago when brash, young coach Steve Sarkisian joined the program spouting hyperbole, imagining possibilities and declaring he would return the University of Washington football team to glory. It continued with Sarkisian poaching good friend Nick Holt from the USC coaching staff, which led to the famously hilarious "Awesome!" news conference. And it went to another level during this wild, emotional, reformative season of extremes.
The Huskies left you screaming for a lot of different reasons this season. They were neither dull nor easy to comprehend, but they did improve — significantly.
To conclude this "!!!!!"-caliber season, it was only fitting that they gave you another reason to roar.
Washington took down No. 19 California with one unified, powerful, exhilarating fist to the gut. The Huskies played better than they had all season, flashing improved defense (including a rare pass rush!) and exquisite offensive execution (Jermaine Kearse was a beast!) and an emphatic, potentially final, performance from Jake Locker (oh, dude, one more year!).
They won 42-10 before an announced crowd of 62,334 at Husky Stadium. Their final record, 5-7, represents a dramatic turnaround from last season's winless flat tire. Even better, they finished the year by overcoming the drama of a poor stretch (six losses in seven games!) and winning their final two games (by a combined score of 72-10!) to increase the excitement for next season.
"This was not an easy season by any means," Sarkisian said in reflection. "There were a lot of excruciating losses but the guys battled every day. I'm really proud of our team."
Of course, this being a major rebuilding project, next season isn't earmarked for automatic success. The program must hold its breath now as Locker, a projected top-10 NFL draft pick, decides whether to bolt early for the pros. His decision could swing the Huskies anywhere from Top 25 expectations to another losing season.
But let's shove that angst aside for now. This victory over Cal frames the entire season. Yes, we know the Bears' best player, running back Jahvid Best, didn't play. And, yes, we remember the Huskies thought they'd made a statement two years ago with a late-season win over Cal, but it turned out to be merely the mirage of a poor Bears effort and wound up being followed by an embarrassing 15-game Huskies losing streak.
We've been fooled before. This time, though, it felt different. The Huskies were so dominant, so aggressive. While watching such a thorough performance, it was impossible not to think in terms of what this season could have been. The Huskies did an incredible job going from zero to five wins and being competitive in most every game. However, they were amazingly close to a turnaround that would've made jaws drop from here to Maine.
Three last-minute road losses — Notre Dame, Arizona State and UCLA — still burn. If they could've won two of those, they'd have a winning record and a guaranteed bowl berth.
The toughest part to swallow is they lost those games mostly because of the inexperience of the players and the coaches. Sarkisian's first season was an undisputed success, but he had to overcome play-calling mistakes in those losses to make it that way.
"We got a lot accomplished," Sarkisian said. "We've got a long way to go, too. I'd just like to have a couple of fourth-and-ones on the goal line back, and there's no telling where we'd be."
In this game, ample evidence existed to prove that Sarkisian learned plenty this season, too.
His game plan was simple and crisp. The Huskies used their best athletes to punish a California defense that had struggled all season against some of the Pac-10's most explosive players.
If you want to know how far the Huskies have come under Sarkisian, compare this game with the 2008 finale at Cal. The Bears won 48-7. The Huskies played with no pride. They were beaten down by all the losing and fell to 0-12 with humiliating ease. But the university had already decided on Sark. A new era was about to begin.
On Saturday, Year One had a wonderful ending, another glimpse of what's to come, a thrilling swing in the positive direction. It was another exclamation mark to conclude a season full of them.

We ordered bison burgers and maple seared salmon salad - both excellent . However the interior seemed dated and worn and Sinatra music didn't fit the north woods menu.
Having had a good meal here last year, I was expecting better. We were early diners, and the service was prompt, but we found out that our "coupons" for drinks and dinner were essentially useless. It was almost like a "bait and switch" deal. The half-price drinks were only good in the bar, but we were not told this until...
We stopped for dinner and enjoyed a very good meal;
good selection of food and spirits and the employees were very friendly.
It was very clean and parking was within feet of the front door.
Highly recommend this restaurant!
We ate dinner while on a North Shore trip. I would say that our expectations were exceeded with one exception (they'd run out of the daily special). The waiter was very friendly and efficient. The food met our expectations in every way we would expect from a full service restaurant. The prices were reasonable.
Try the chili...it's four parts sugar and one part tasteless chili....worst i've ever had. when i complained i got a blank look and an explanation of "that's the way we make it". The prices are right up there too...considering the overall food and treatment you receive there i'd recommend it to people that are annoying me.
My wife and I both ordered fish. I had the whitefish and she had the salmon done on a cedar plank. I ordered my whitefish with the sauce on the side which I was glad I did as I did not feel the whiefish needed. It was made to perfection and not overcooked. Same way with the salmon. Not dry...
Good atmosphere & good food. Service is very good. Prices are on the high side. Planning to go back this week, I was not disappointed.
I stopped in here on my way back to Duluth. I had eaten here years ago when working in the area and wondered if it had changed. I found the food good and the service as expected. The Turkey Ciabatta sandwich was quite tasty. Thick slabs of turkey with pepperjack and their agate sauce. Worth the stop.
We ate here with a large group, and enjoyed a good meal. A bit pricey, but still a good value. We will return here on another visit.
our waitress was jennifer, with impecabel service & knowledge of the menu. we started out with primerib soup & cinnamon butter bread. our entrees were the 4 cheese mac& cheese & pot roast w/ red skin potatoes & asparagus. the food tasted absolutly divine & portions were very generous. my pot roast was so tender & the gravy was out...

Fishermen show off 800kg shark caught off the coast of Tripoli, Tuesday, June 10, 2014. (The Daily Star/Stringer)
TRIPOLI, Lebanon: A local fisherman made quite the catch Tuesday, snaring himself an 800kg shark in the sea off the Mina coast of Tripoli.
The fisherman who made the haul was Yahia Saidawi, better known by his nickname "Gergi." After catching the massive shark, he brought it back to his own fishery in the Mina region.
There have been a series of shark hunts in Lebanon over the last month, with one fisherman, Mahmoud Wehbi, netting 12 sharks in just over two weeks. The hunts that have occurred near the Rmeileh coast, south of Beirut, have raised environmental and health concerns among activists.

ABC "This Week Sunday" "The Energy Is With Ron Paul" - VideoSubmitted by Brian Middleton on Sun, 12/11/2011 - 08:07
Video: Green Room: Ron Paul Strong in Iowa (thanks Epicurean Helvetic!)
- Login to post comments
dont want to be too paranoid
but listen to this - because of the election season coming, Amanpour is now relieved of her duty from This Week show, while our favorite George Stephano...... will host the show now.
I am not saying it is due to some fair reporting on Ron Paul, but then who knows ?
Dr.Ron Paul's 2002 Predictions
George Will
I can't believe he mentioned the 3rd quarter donations from actual duty military. Mr. Will said Dr. Paul got more donations than all other Republicans candidates combined. I don't know the exact figures but I'm willing to bet he got 2-3 times more than all other Republican candidates combined. This is most positive thing I've heard Mr. Will mention that is related to Dr. Paul's foreign policy. He takes every opportunity to label Dr. Paul an isolationist (is it really so hard to understand the difference between an isolationist and a non-interventionist Mr Will? SHEESH). There was an opinion piece by Mr. Will in my local newspaper this morning in which he threw out the isolationist label again. This establishment shill is REALLY getting on my nerves. The theme of the article, by the way, was basically a hit piece to convince people that voting for Dr. Paul will hand the 2012 election to our current president. What a jerk.
i checked for that.
it's funny.....i had, when i first saw this, thought that she was waiting for him to say his name - and when he didn't - she was maybe reminded of exactly how lame her employer has become by purposefully trying to eliminate a candidate by not mentioning him/her.......so.......i was reading the same "vomit face" but i was thinking that it was due, not to having to say ron's name, but rather it was due to the fact that she was having to bring it up because the other guy "forgot" to mention ron.......get it?
George Slimeball Stephanopolous
Do you remember the fury we felt during the 2008 campaign, when George interviewed Ron Paul on ABC?
He asked, "What is your goal?"
Ron Paul said, "Well, to win."
Stephanopolous: "That's not gonna happen."
Well now it looks a little different, George.
ABC News has impressed somewhat over this past week as the lone mainstream tv media outlet that is displaying journalistic professionalism in it's coverage of Dr. Paul and the entire GOP campaign. They did a good job with Saturday's debate and their "This Week Sunday" segment was equally well done ... maybe some e-mails of appreciation are in order?
It's a trap man, ABC is a
It's a trap man, ABC is a mouth piece for the Obama administration. (Remember when George Stephanopoulos pulled the missing birth certificate from his pocket?)
Help Ron Paul
We can't just support Ron Paul on YouTube…
*YOU* CAN MAKE PHONE CALLS AT: PHONE[dot]RONPAUL2012[dot]COM
(*it is very easy!!!)
"We've moved beyond the Mises textbook. We're running in the open market." - Erik Voorhees
MSM showing some truth
but please remember, if Ron does win Iowa, they will start giving the Huckabee example. the campaign needs to be ready with other examples, where the person winning Iowa, won the nomination and the Presidency.
This is just the start people, this is the first battle, and there are many more to come.
this just shows that if u want this to happen and if u put in effort, this thing can be done. Its time to push harder in Iowa and other early states.
Time to do all you can, be a Paulunteer !!
Dr.Ron Paul's 2002 Predictions
How about Obama?
How about Obama?
lets focus on GOP nomination first
then go on for a different strategy.
i m sure there are many people who didnt like the "change" they got !
Dr.Ron Paul's 2002 Predictions
It's About Time
It's about time the media recognize Ron Paul and the people that work so hard on his campaign.
The look on her face at 44 seconds is priceless
Looked like she was going to vomit having to say his name.
Pass this on to everyone, we do not get the news, this
is the news!!
Ron Paul Will Have a Driver for You Caucus Night
LOL!!! Love It! Great Advertising.
o yeah, as we speak
we're gassing up the fleet :)
Mr. and Mrs. Iowan, Ron Paul Limos, at your service
It's like the lady said
Ron has a unique abity to inspire loyalty to him. If she just went one step further though...It's called patriotism!
pa·tri·ot·ism /ˈpeɪtriəˌtɪzəm or, especially Brit., ˈpæ-/ Show Spelled[pey-tree-uh-tiz-uhm or, especially Brit.
devoted love, support, and defense of one's country; national loyalty.
Another internet Green Room video?
Another internet Green Room video? Big deal we are already voting for Ron Paul. This isn't coverage. We need TV coverage. Seems like we are fogetting that most of the non-decided voters watch TV. We are being fooled by the media becuase they are really only covering Ron Paul on the internet but on TV they are still ignoring him for the most part.
The lamestream media
... are so disgusting and reprehensible...
...that to call them "whores" is an un-deserved smear against the world's oldest profession. I never have and never will support that business, nor will I ever again support, read, listen, watch or participate in anything which the formerly "mainstream" but now totally IRRELEVANT media scumf*cks serve up in their useless worthless drivel.
Not being fooled, I suggest EVERYONE join me in a total permanent BOYCOTT of scum-media.
George P.O.S.nopolous is evil.
How is it possible for them to be anything but nice after last
Night? They would lose credibility. Shame shame on the lady and her foot of snow story. Yes we would go get someone is they needed a ride, but this is a grassroots campaign, there ain't no democrat/union funded busride to the polls.
Kinda hard to bash someone who says peace, love, togetherness, our freedom brings us together.
And Ron Paul is an expert on EVERY subject. I'd wager he has a very high IQ.
So admit it! Everybody loves Ron Paul, so where is the fight?
So was this aried on TV or.....
So was this aried on TV or.....are we getting excited about an internet video that only Ron Paul supporters have seen?
The media spin after a win in Iowa will be ..
When Ron Paul wins Iowa, I GUARANTEE you the media will immediately mention the Hukabee, and Robertson wins and state that those guys dropped out early.
One word reminder..."Obama"
Remind them that "Barack Obama won Iowa too"...that should shut 'em up...lol.
Was this aired on TV or on the internet.
Was this aired on TV or on the internet.
Just curious because we need to reach people that are still glued to TV. I hope this was aired on TV.
Thanks. Please respond.
It is call "CYA"...
The LAST thing the pundits want to see, besides a "Ron Paul nomination" is a "Dewey Defeats Truman" scenario. At this point, they don't believe they can stop a Ron Paul victory in Iowa, so they are regrouping their credibility in order to remind audiences on caucus night that Mike Huckabee won here four years ago and Pat Robertson won here in 1988 only to lose New Hampshire and drop out of the races early.
ABC giving love NOW? I feel
ABC giving love NOW? I feel like this is a different show than last night.. when after the debate they mentioned RP absolutely ZERO times almost inciting the hate mail they must have received. Where were these people last night? LOL Oh ya.. they were there.. but they were all being IDIOTS. Now they've come around? Hmmmm...
Campaign offices!
I think that showed us alot. Romney's campaign office in Iowa? 1 person at a table in a huge room lol. Gingrich's not even set up yet and Ron's was a small room packed full of people canvassing.
I would say Romney and Gingrich have zero ground game judging by their offices. This is super encouraging.
Not only does Gingrich have no ground game but his campaign is badly in debt, he is being carried by the media with massively overhyped coverage and rigged polls ... Romney has lots of bucks and is focusing more on New Hampshire where Gingrich has nothing going for him. The media is really pushing Gingrich in South Carolina and Florida where Perry will spend a ton of money, this is going to be interesting!
Gingrich probably got tipped
Gingrich probably got tipped off by the media.. that's why they hauled ass over there and setup.
Wait till 400,000 Super Brochures get sent out!
That's a ground game.

Bounty hearings continue

Vilma said his appearance went well but declined further comment citing a request for confidentiality by former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue, who has been appointed to oversee the proceedings. There were also several days of witness appearances in Washington, ...

10 green ideas that will change the world
|| Print |
|Articles - June 2012
|Tuesday, May 29, 2012
Page 4 of 4
As the movement to get toxics out of air, water and food migrates to consumer products, green chemistry and "materials management" initiatives are flourishing. Last fall the OSU-UO Center for Sustainable Materials Chemistry received $20 million in funding from the National Science Foundation. This past spring, Gov. John Kitzhaber signed an executive order to invest more resources in green chemistry, including requiring state agencies to develop plans favoring healthy green products in purchasing for electronics, furniture and building.
Such efforts should boost the prospects of companies such as Inpria, a Corvallis company that has developed a water-based process for manufacturing thin film components for the tech industry. The startup was cofounded by Doug Keszler, who is also the director of the Sustainable Materials Chemistry Center. Mainstreaming sustainable materials chemistry requires developing processes and materials that exceed the performance of conventional materials, Keszler says. "If we hit performance, there is a pathway to zero waste."
Here are a few other initiatives aimed at helping sustainable chemistry and materials researchers along with product manufacturers meet environmental and performance targets more quickly.
A green electronics registry:
Launched in 2006, EPEAT (electronic product environmental assessment tool) rates electronic products based on a variety of lifecycle factors, then connects institutional purchasers to the preferable choice. EPEAT operates in 42 countries and is growing geographically. It covers computers, laptops, imaging devices and is expanding into printers, televisions and servers. EPEAT works with large purchasers to include EPEAT in contracts for "hundreds of thousands of products," says Robert Frisbee, who was hired this past spring as EPEAT's first CEO. "Then you get a snowball effect where producers see the market exists and focus on making more efficient products." In 2007, less than 10% of EPEAT-rated products attained a gold standard; now it's 50%. Over their lifetime, compared to products that did not meet registry criteria, EPEAT-rated products purchased in 2010 will reduce the use of primary materials by 15.7 million metric tons and use of toxic materials by 1,156 metric tons.
Oregon DEQ's 2050 Vision:
Since 2009, Oregon has required electronics manufacturers to provide free recycling for televisions, computers and other electronics. Although the program has been hugely successful — 26 million pounds were recycled in 2011 — it doesn't address the design, manufacturing or consumption of those products. Now the Department of Environmental Quality is putting together an ambitious new plan called the "2050 Vision for Materials Management." A work in progress, the 2050 vision shifts the focus from managing waste materials and products (such as electronics) at the end of their life to addressing their lifecycle impacts. The goal is a closed-loop system in which all materials are reused.
The Living Building Red List:
The list covers toxic chemicals and materials to avoid in buildings and materials and is part of a push to make healthy products part of green building. Google adopted the Red List last year for all new office construction, a move that will encourage "more manufacturers to reformulate their products to be less toxic," says Jason McLennan, author of the Living Building Challenge.
The green revolution is often framed in terms of the Next Big Thing — the silver bullet that will eliminate greenhouse gas emissions, reduce energy consumption and improve human and environmental health. But at least in the green building and smart-grid sectors, it's the human factor — not the technology — that may be holding us back.
"For whatever reason in our culture we are always looking for that magic technology to save us and all we need to do is invent the box. But that attitude often gets used as a crutch. Really the trick is knowing how to properly put together buildings with proven technologies, like passive design. That's the sort of innovation we should focus on. We can do this now."
-Jason McLennan CEO of the Northwest-based Cascadia Green Building Council, author of the Living Building Challenge
"Smart grid technology is interesting but for the most part we're applying technology that already exists; we're using radio waves to carry the application. Smart meters aren't rocket science, they just aren't cool. There is some innovation in terms of new standards. The biggest challenge to implementing the smart grid is not the technology but the basic statutory, regulatory and structure of industry. Just in the Northwest we have 40 or 50 utilities that serve [the grid] and all operate it with their own boards."
-James Materco-founder, director of California-based Quality Logic; founding board member, Smart Grid Oregon

I am tired of being the single one in my group of friends. I have come to the realization that I won't have the happy ending I always dreamed of. I have been cheated on and lied to by every man I have ever dated. It has gotten to the point where I view all men as monsters. Its hard going to birthday parties or any social functions. Being a single 37 year old female is horrible. The men you want to date are dating 20 something women and the men that want to date you are in their 50's. My friends continue to have children and milestones and its as if I am stuck in neutral. Getting older and more jaded by the minute. Please no comments about finding love when you least expect it or just getting out there. I am just tired of trying so hard and not getting anywhere.
