A little about me...
Wow, I hate this part...don't you? No matter how gifted you are with the English language, when talking about yourself, it either comes off as pretentious or worse, boring. Here goes...I am very outgoing, laid back, smart, attractive (to some, not all) and have a wicked sense of humor. I love, love, love to laugh and make others laugh as well. I am emotionally and financially secure. I have a very strong network of family and friends with a busy, full and happy life. While my professional life keeps me busy, my schedule is pretty flexible. What I do for a living does not define me, but for me, is a means to an end. I love to spend time with my family and friends, enjoy skiing, biking, hiking and tennis. I enjoy playing tennis and I love watching tennis. Unfortunately, I don't play golf, but would love to learn. I love to travel and when I am able, I do so extensively.
About the one I'm looking for...
I like normal, smart, independent and funny men. I would like to meet someone who is a conversationalist. You enjoy talking, sometimes deeply, about anything and everything. While I do admire men with a deep religious or spiritual background, it probably would not be a good match for me as I am agnostic/atheist. Let me reiterate that if your religion defines you or is a fundemental part of your life, we would not be a match. I would like to meet someone who enjoys doing things outdoors, enjoys music and the arts, trying different restaurants and foods and traveling. My perfect match would be someone who already has a happy, fulfilling life and simply looking for that special person to share it with.
I'd just like to add...
Send me a message.

Good idea. Maybe they should run a pilot program on Black or ghetto English first and see how that goes over.

When I was newly married and exiled to California, I visited an employment office to see about a job. I was only 17, but was a prodigious typist and shorthand taker. At the end of the interview, the woman sadly shook her head as she told me "Honey, I could get you in at just 17, but I don´t know anyone who would hire you with that accent." Even Texans can cry all the way home.

I cannot tell you how offensive this is to me. My best friends are mostly Southern. Some have mere traces of their accent, many have a full-blown accent. I find the sound delightful. As a once-northeasterner, that´s coming a long way."It probably wasn't presented in the right way and made it look like ORNL had some problem with having a Southern accent, which of course we don't. That was not the intent at all."Of course ORNL "had some problem with having a Southern accent." Why else would you hire someone (who specializes in speech disorders, I found out) to try to wipe it out?A Southern accent is unpleasant to liberals because they equate it with Christianity, stupidity, and being uneducated. Nothing is further from the truth. Only when the grammar is poor does a southern accent sound bad. Ditto northeastern accents.And the accent from MA is positively horrific. Why not go there and clean up their accents? How about New York City, Newark and Philly while you´re at it?Many conservatives find a New York accent irritating. We equate it with liberalism, elitism, snobbery, ill-gotten wealth, sexual misconduct, and dictatorialism. Think Schumer and Weiner.Listen to Chuck Schumer or Anthony Weiner with his nasal New York twang and tell me that doesn´t get on your nerves.The chutzpah of this is a form of cultural ethnic cleansing, liberal-stye. It´s disgusting.Why not tell Trey Gowdy his accent is going to keep him from becoming a success? Hm?

This doesn´t really offend me. There is a difference between a cultured southern accent and a hard to understand regional dialect. When Shelby Foote spoke on Ken Burns Civil War you could understand him perfectly.

#2 A Southern Accent would make many proud. We´ve been working hard for generations to produce a more perfect way of speaking. There is nothing like a ´southern phrase´ to make a point, describe a situation or in everyday speaking. Yankees are totally clueless. Many of those north say ´you guys´. There is no war on women in the south, we say ´you all´. First they attempt to take away our talkin´ style, then they come after our tea...iced tea, one of the greatest achievements of mankind.

I find accents and dialects of all kinds fascinating, and even took as many linguistics classes in my graduate work so I have no quarrel with any Southern accent (and hopefully no one here would object to the remnants of my Minnesota-Norwegian accent!Still, there are times when a particular accent or dialect can get in the way of communication - and then it becomes important for speakers to be able to switch from their own particular brand to a more standard version of English. For the record, I can´t stand the Western New York nasal affections and strange pronunciations (for ex. "el - a - men- TARE - y" instead of "elementary").That´s all, y´all, you betcha!Ramona (the Pest)

It was totally blue collar. And it had to have been affected for political reasons. Teddy was basically raised in New York, and, like his siblings, went to boarding schools which worked hard, in his day, to instill a preppy accent in their students.

Category Archives: Music Scanning
A great post by Philip Rothman about NotateMe on the Sibelius Blog
A few years ago, Philip Rothman took over the Sibelius Blog as most of the Sibelius team headed to Steinberg (I believe that Daniel Spreadbury, who was a part of that group, used to run the Sibelius Blog). Although the Sibelius Blog was never limited to "Sibelius-Only" items, Mr. Rothman writes about music notation in a broader sense. As a result, if you are a person that uses software from other companies/developers, and you haven't followed the Sibelius Blog, you are missing out.
Last week, as MakeMusic announced its transition to go under the umbrella of Peaksware, Mr. Rothman was also given access to the new CEO over MakeMusic, and was able to ask questions that I had not thought of. As I mentioned, the topic for me became more about the people currently employed by MakeMusic, as I have had the opportunity to get to know a number of MakeMusic's staff over the past years. I was very happy to be able to read Mr. Rothman's information about the news.
Today, Mr. Rothman wrote about one of my favorite iOS/Android apps, NotateMe. He did so with feedback from Neuratron's CEO, Martin Dawe–and I really enjoyed reading about Mr. Rothman's experiment with NotateMe. So, go read the article. And if you subscribe to blog feeds (my latest choice of blog feed readers is Feedly), subscribe to the Sibelius Blog so you can read all of his posts!
SmartScore NoteReader is available…How does it compare?
As I talked about scanning in my Technology in Music Education workshop yesterday, I noticed that SmartScore's NoteReader had been released on the App Store on the 15th. The app itself is free, but if you want to export any of the data, you have to pay $9.99 for the premium upgrade.
SmartScore NoteReader is an app that allows you to scan and then play music (for free), and then (as an In-App Purchase) to export data a number of ways (including e-mail and Dropbox) so that you could import that data into SmartScore Pro X2 or any number of music notation programs, such as Finale, Sibelius, MuseScore, and Notion.
SmartScore NoteReader allows you to take a picture(s) of a score, import a picture of a score, or import a PDF to recognize. In comparison, NotateMe's PhotoScore In-App Purchase allows you to take a picture (or a series of pictures) of a score, but importing a picture (on iOS) requires working through other apps, such as Mail. At the moment, NotateMe does not allow you to import a PDF. As a result, in terms of working with existing documents, NoteReader is easier to use than NotateMe/PhotoScore.
I have only done a few scans with SmartScore's NoteReader so far, and initial trials indicate that NotateMe/PhotoScore is more accurate than NoteReader. On a one part score, SmartScore's NoteReader scans with equivalent accuracy to NotateMe/PhotoScore–when all staves scan. NoteReader dropped staves that NotateMe/PhotoScore did not. PhotoScore also does a better job of handling lyrics–more lyrics are accuate than on NoteReader, although there are errors with lyrics on both apps.
On a single line band score, I would estimate that NoteReader is scanning at 75% accuracy while NotateMe/PhotoScore is scanning at 95% (or greater) accuracy. In a multi-page choral score, NotateMe/PhotoScore stays at 95%, while NoteReader's accuracy diminishes greatly (50% or less).
I am using the same set-up for scanning for both apps, with an iPad "document camera" stand and an iPad 4. It is possible that a closer photo could yield a more accurate "reading" from NoteReader; but I have noticed that NotateMe/PhotoScore tends to be a little more accurate when you don't zoom in very close to the page! Additionally, I would assume that the better the camera (in other words, with a newer device or an iPhone), the better the resulting accuracy of the scan. So, if you scanned with an iPhone 5S, you might have higher accuracy with both programs.
Again, these are preliminary tests, and both apps are in their first weeks (or days) in the App Store. Undoubtedly, there will be app updates in the weeks, months, and years to come. It is exciting that you can scan music on your iPad (or iPhone, or Android) device without the need to purchase a scanner.
In terms of accuracy, NotateMe ($39.99) plus the PhotoScore In-App Purchase ($29.99) is currently the winner, by a large margin (particulary when dealing with multiple parts). In addition to scanning, NotateMe also is a handwriting-based music notation app which allows you to edit those scans after they have been recognized by the software. NotateMe's ability to "Open In" feature is useful when exporting the data to another app (such as Notion). Both apps allow for the use of Dropbox.
In terms of built-in useability (selecting existing images, using PDFs) and price, SmartScore's NoteReader (free, $9.99 In-App Purchase to export data) is ahead of its competitor. At 1/7 the price of the NotateMe/PhotoScore package ($69.98), NoteReader might be worth purchasing. And remember…both SmartScore and PhotoScore are very expensive desktop programs, each costing nearly three times the price if you were to buy both of these apps!
And if you want to just TRY these apps, NotateMe does have a "lite" version called NotateMe Now (allowing for one score at a time) which DOES include PhotoScore, and SmartScore's NoteReader is a free app (until you want to export data). So…if you have an iPad, iPhone, or Android device (note: the camera on the iPad 2 and the original iPad Mini are not high resolution enough to work with some apps, such as NotateMe), at the very least download the free versions and see what these apps can do!
Note: In the image above, I show what happens when you export the MusicXML file generated by these apps into another app (in this case, I printed these to my printer from Notion for iPad). Compared to the original score, both apps could not determine an existing multi-measure rest (there were 3 in the original file). NoteReader dropped the first and last staves of the original; NotateMe/PhotoScore's greatest issue was the addition of a second note to a number of notes in the score. Both scores picked up key signatures, clefs, and time signatures changes (meter changes) in the original score, and both can play back what they have processed from paper to digital notation. Just remember…whenever you scan in music, there will be clean-up. The important question at that point is: 'How much clean-up do I have to do here?"
My First "Real" Test of NotateMe's Full PhotoScore In-App Purchase
Although I have had the full version of NotateMe's PhotoScore In-App Purchase, I haven't had much time to work with the app. We had a long family vacation, I am continuing to work in the basement, and I was getting ready for my sessions with the Wisconsin Center for Music Education this week.
I'm currently in a hotel, ready to work with teachers tomorrow–and an evening (or few) away from home gives me an opportunity to finally work with some of the apps I have wanted more time to work with.
I just finished scanning a two-part choral score that I purchased for my students at the end of last year. I won't say what the score is, but I would guarantee that most middle school teachers either have performed this piece or will perform it in the near future, as it is a very popular song from a very recent animated movie.
I chose to scan the score on my iPhone versus my iPad for two very important reasons. First, this is a hotel, and like all hotel rooms, lighting is not great in the room–so I could use the flash for the pictures. Second, I figure the iPhone has a better camera than the iPad (this is always true…the best camera ALWAYS goes into the top-of-the-line iPhone. In my case, we're talking both a 4th Generation iPad and an iPhone 5, neither is the newest, but the iPhone's camera is still better than the iPad's).
Ultimately, I am very impressed with the results. Like the PC/Mac version of the software, The Notate Me PhotoScore In-App Purchase does a good job reading most notes, diacritical markings, and yes, even lyrics. When I export from NotateMe into Notion on the iPad, the accuacy is amazing–I would say in the 95% range or higher.
Like other music readers, the app does occasionally miss stave groupings (e.g. reading voice parts and piano as continual vs. combined staves), but this may be because of the bad lighting in the room. I will try this again in the future.
However, like other scanning products, PhotoScore does get confused in a choral score where there are occasionally two staves, three staves, and four staves (when empty staves are hidden). I don't know if there is a way to encourage any scanning software to fill staves systems from the bottom up, versus the top down.
Let me put this another way: if you have an iPad (or iPhone), and you want to enter music into any software program (NotateMe, Notion, Finale, Sibelius, MuseScore), this app and its plugin should be considered a must-have. Without doubt, it is a pricey combination…$39.99 for the app and $29.99 for the plug-in. At the same time, you don't need to buy a scanner, and remember that PhotoScore Ultimate (Mac/PC) is a $249 option. Granted, the desktop/notebook version does have a editor embedded (And you can use NotateMe to edit), but as a Finale user, I have always found it easier to simply pull the MusicXML from PhotoScore into Finale. This holds true with the NotateMe version of PhotoScore….you may want to export the file to DropBox and open it in whatever app you wish, be it Finale, Sibelius, Notion, Notion for iPad, MuseScore, or any other app.
Musitek, the makers of SmartScore (paired with Finale, but not owned by MakeMusic) also has a scanning app for Android and soon iOS. My "hacked" HP Tablet running Android doesn't have a good enough camera for me to test that app and compare it with NotateMe's PhotoScore (also available on Android). I my experience, PhotoScore has always been more accurate for the music I scan (choral octavos) than SmartScore…and PhotoScore imports text (sometimes incorrectly, many cases of "the" are recognized as "tne," for example). However, the SmartScore app will be a $10.00 In-App Purchase, so it will be worth purchasing at any case (SmartScore Pro X2 is a $299 program). The SmartScore app will also handle PDFs, whereas NotateMe's PhotoScore cannot handle PDFs at this time (something I hope for, as all of my music has been converted to PDF files). When the SmartScore app is released for iOS, I will certainly purchase it, and may even write a head-to-head article.
All I can say is that I wouldn't hesitate for a second to spend $39.99 on this app and another $29.99 for the PhotoScore IAP if I had a recent iPad and wanted to scan music…choral, band, or orchestral.
Referral Link: NotateMe (full version)
You can also download the free one-staff NotateMe Now, which comes with a free PhotoScore Now feature that scans one part at a time.
The Future is NOW (NotateMe Now)
In January of 2013, ThinkMusicTechnology stunned the music technology world, trying to raise funds to make an app that would convert handwriting to music notation. That fundraising attempt failed, and at last notice, that app was no longer being developed.
In the 2013-2014 academic year (roughly one year later), Neutatron released an app called NotateMe which converts handwritten notation to music. Additionally, they offered a single-staff app called NotateMe Now for free. The free app allowed people to decide whether they wanted to buy the complete app, and it also offered a wonderful tool for education (the teacher can create a score and share it with the free app that students can download). I used the free version with students in 2013-2014 to write compositions and to have my classes complete melodic dictation exercises.
The full version of NotateMe isn't cheap ($39.99), but in my opinion, is money well-spent. Neuratron has been adding to the app over the months, and MusicXML import is now included in the app, as well as additional pens, ever-increasing accuracy, and more.
Neuratron is about to blow the market wide open.
I grew to know Neuratron from their music scanning app, PhotoScore. I am a Finale user, and I have been disappointed by the accuracy of SmartScore, another scanning app, that is bundled with Finale. I purchased the full version of SmartScore, but did not buy the latest update. I downloaded the trial version of the latest version, and for music I use (typically 2-4 part choral music), the latest version of SmartScore (X2) was no more accurate than the previous version I already own. I purchased PDFtoMusic, which is a great tool to convert a PDF to a MusicXML file if it was "printed" as a PDF from a notation package, and I also purcahsed PhotoScore ultimate to convert regular PDFs to MusicXML files. I find–again, with my music–that PhotoScore is the most accurate, including scanning of text (there is always editing to do).
For a long time, Neuratron has stated that they are bringing PhotoScore capability to NotateMe. This evening, NotateMe Now has a PhotoScore Now component. This is brilliant…you can scan a single-line score into NotateMe Now. I happened to have a single-line band score at my house, so I scanned it. The results were AMAZING. In a "easy" band score (Level 1.5?), there were only two errors, and even diacritical markings were scanned! This is all on my iPad!!! No scanner needed. Just click…
Let's say you have a student who wants to hear their part…they take a picture of it, it gets imported, and they can hear it. If something gets scanned in wrong, you can change it BY HAND. This is life-changing for the musician, folks.
At the moment, there is no way to scan an existing PDF or to access a picture in your camera roll…you have to take the picture yourself. I am sure these will be addressed, especially with the In-App Purchase version that is coming soon to the "full" version NotateMe. The full version of NotateMe with the In-App Purchase is set for imminent release, as soon as it is approved by Apple. I don't yet know pricing, but you can bet that I will immediately buy that In-App Purchase. Yes, Neuratron, take my money.
If you want to buy the full version of NotateMe, consider doing so with this referral link (I earn a commission on the sale that comes from Apple's 30%, not the developer's 70%): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/notateme/id699470139?mt=8&uo=4&at=10l9SE
NotateMe Now is available free here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/notateme-now/id783567215?mt=8&uo=4&at=10l9SE
And yes, Android friends, this is a Android product, too. My Android device (a hacked HP TouchPad) doesn't handle the app well, but I am sure that any current Android device can handle running NotateMe or NotateMe Now (I don't have any referral system with the Google Play store).
The future is NOW! Isn't this exciting?
The Fujitsu ScanScap SV600: Update
I continue to scan music with our new scanner, and I have two additional tips;
- When scanning a larger score (band/orchestra), it helps to buy a piece of plexiglass to put over the pages to keep them flat. There can be glare caused by the plexiglass on a reflective surface (think the colored cover of a band score), and in that case, you can remove the plexiglass and scan with it. With the exception of the cover page of a score, I am using a sheet of plexiglass on nearly every scan, as I have noticed that to software does a much better job of picking up the corners on scanned pages (previously I had to make more adjustments of black seeping into corners). I do not notice the scanning glare having any impact on musical scores themselves. As with all scans, the resulting image is directly related to the quality of the image that was scanned.
- I am now scanning everyting in landscape mode, and then using the software to turn pages. Middle school band literature averages about 30 pages (including conductor scores) per song.
- I am taking the time to save each band song in a folder, both as a complete score (conductor scores and parts) and as individual parts. It takes longer to save these files by instrument than it does to scan. One tip: I use Preview (Mac) to copy parts out of the master file (Command + C), then make a new file (Command + N), save the file (Command + S), and then close the file (Command + W). When you follow this process, there is very little clicking. With the first file (often the conductor's score), I create a new folder–and all my next saves go into the same folder. To save time with parts, as I am prompted to save each new file, I select and existing part, double click (or click and drag) the part name I want to replace, and then type over it. This way, I do not have to type the title of the song for each part. Example: If I have saved "American Rhapsody Flute," I can click that file when I want to save the Oboe part, double click "Flute" and then type "Oboe." If this is confusing, I can make a video of this later.
- The video below shows my new hints with the SV600. It is nice to be able to finally scan larger sized documents. My Canon P-150 is better for choral music (but requires you to cut the music), whereas the SV600 is non-destructive.

Nice to see the Hungarians. Even the Italians & Czechs get featured in some mods and games. The Hungarians are a rarity.

Ok so they'd call a temporary truce to tell me how to play Command and Conquer. Sweet.
I love combat mission
I remember loving this movie just because of the awesome T-55 shots.
The Combine aren't from Xen. The invasion from Xen just attracted their attention to earth.
Keep on rolling man! These new models look great!
Much like the early KV-1s and T-34s, tank on tank encounters with these were a scary experience for the Germans.
Fair enough.
It's so difficult to find any information on German naval infantry, thanks for posting this Sturm! I was beginning to doubt their actual existence.
The Maus is a piece of shite anyway.
After reading this the vehicle seems to have had quite the history.
Good luck!
I don't think I will ever leave this group.
Enough said.
The variant of Crusader DID see action on the western front and so did the short barrel Panzer IV in limited numbers. The Ferdinand however, is not even in this mod.
He is correct about the 88 first being used against armour in France. Not sure about the HE thing but I'm pretty sure they were equipped with AP ammunition.
"When the Tetrarch was re-designated as an airborne tank, several changes were made to its design. A number of tanks had their 2 pounder guns replaced with a 76.2-millimetre (3.00 in) infantry support howitzer; these tanks were then designated as Tetrarch 1 CS (Close Support). Additionally, Littlejohn adaptors were added to those Tetrarchs which still possessed their 2 pounders to increase their muzzle velocity and armour penetration.[4]"
Cited from the wikipedia page which has the reference there if you'd like to investigate.
And saying Normandy was my mistake. What I meant was, the developers at one stage said they'd only add it if it saw service on the western front.
The regular Crusader tanks didn't see service in Normandy. They were replaced by the Cromwell & Sherman.
Wait, you can have map specific units?
That's pretty awesome.
You've gotta wonder how this & the Matilda II are even related.
It's so difficult to find information about late war Hungarian armour. Very interesting stuff though.
I think last time this was posted we concluded it was photoshopped. Somehow I doubt the Panzer III's turret would fit into the Panzer I's turret ring.
Not to mention it would make for a completely useless vehicle.
I used to love pcpowerplay and was a frequent reader, but RPS has since taken over for me.
Looks cooler than the actual Abrams.
Late war Hungarian armour has always intrigued me.
It does exist as a concept, but just not officially under the designation 'v-44'.

In July 2013, the EESC has adopted an Opinion on Industrial policy in which industrial policy was qualified as a Growth initiative with great potentials. Following up the Opinion it is suggested to discuss somewhat underestimated aspects of the on-going industrial cycle that are vital for future growth and jobs, entailing huge consequences for (manufacturing) industry. It is about the impact of services, digitalisation, ICT and new variations in the same framework - such as 3D printing and other applications (ICT-plus) - on the industrial processes. Services are an increasing part of the European economy, and creating more jobs than manufacturing. The ICT-industry itself is growing in Europe by 10% annually. Services and ICT-plus have huge socio-economic and political implications.
3D printing, in combination with the internet, robotics and open-source software, will result in a new industrial revolution with profound implications over the coming years for national economies, business models and education.
3D manufacturing – better known as 3D printing – is a process that uses digital "blueprints" to produce three-dimensional products and parts. It is also referred to as "additive manufacturing". A wide variety of materials are commonly used in this process: bioplastics, gypsum, gold, etc. Particular attention should be paid here to the origin of products. There are unprecedented opportunities in this field for businesses.
Starting in the early eighties, the EU legislation related to the extraction, manufacture of products and use of asbestos has become more and more severe. While the original Directive focused on limit values for the use of asbestos, later on, these activities were practically prohibited. Amendments have set the focus on asbestos removal and demolition. Therefore, many provisions of the original Directive were replaced and modified the last years. Although asbestos has been recognized as a very dangerous material and many activities related to its safe removal and neutralization have been promoted, huge quantities of this dangerous substance are still present in the environment and the society.
The Food and drink Industry is the largest manufacturing sector in the EU economy employing directly 4.25 million workers in the EU. It is a non-cyclical and resilient pillar with a strong presence in all member states. It processes 70% of EU agriculture produce and provides safe, quality and nutritious food to the benefit of European consumers, besides being the largest global exporter of food and drink products. The sector generates 7% of EU GDP and should be an important contributor to achieve the EU target set in the 2020 strategy of achieving the necessary expansion of the manufacturing sector that will make it a contributor of 20% of European GDP.
Key competitiveness indicators show that the sector is losing its competitive edge. An EESC own –initiative opinion will help make the case with the EU Commission for a sectoral focus on the sector. It will indicate those measures necessary to reverse this negative trend and to enhance the sector's competitiveness both in the Internal Market and in the Global market. The main thrust will be focused on the creation of sustainable employment all along the food supply chain, encouraging and facilitating new investment, promoting innovation policies and enhancing export performance.
Health and related sectors are a central aspect of human existence and thus attract particular attention of citizens. The sectors of biomedical engineering and the medical and care services industry – including research and development – are among the fastest growing industrial areas, in terms of turnover as well as employment. Under biomedical engineering we understand the bridging between methods of engineering and medicine and biology for diagnostic and therapeutic measures in healthcare – including, among others, biologics and biopharmaceuticals, pharmaceutical drugs, various types of devices for chemical or biological analysis or processing as well as the development of medical equipment and technology for cure, treatment and prevention of disease. The combination of research and development, engineering and industrial production, and medical and care services is particularly important.
The glass industry is being doubly impacted by the economic crisis, since its activity relies heavily on the economic health of other sectors such as the construction and automotive sectors. Weak economic growth and slowing domestic demand are specifically due to the austerity policies coordinated at European level and together account for the crisis that is affecting the sector.
The EESC welcomes the communication and concludes that the challenges facing European industries are not abating, and without a competitive industrial base, Europe will not secure growth and more jobs. In its opinion the EESC particularly recommends to pay more attention to the role of the services and corresponding policies, in particular knowledge based services, to take measures to reduce energy prices and to encourage innovation, EU competition and state aid policies.
The European Commission under the European Strategy 2020 has established a goal to raise the industry contribution to GDP from 15.6% (2011) to 20% by 2020. The Industrial Policy Communication updated of October 2012 outlines a strategy to reverse the declining role of industry announcing actions in four main areas: Investment in new technologies and innovation; Access to Markets; Access to Finance and Human capital and skills.

November 27, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration says less than a half million people whose health insurance has been canceled in recent months have not signed up for other coverage.
Officials say that number could shrink in the coming days. People have until Dec. 23 to purchase insurance and ensure they have no gap in coverage when their current plans expire at the end of the month.
The cancellations have become a nagging problem for the White House. President Barack Obama repeatedly promised that people who liked their insurance could keep it under the new health law.
However, more than 4 million people had their plans cancelled because they didn't meet the law's new requirements. Some of those people are purchasing new plans through their insurance company or the government exchanges.

The long-awaited expansion to Gold Eagle Casino is due to move forward later this month.
That was confirmed to reporters Thursday afternoon by Kelly Atcheynum, general manager of the casino in North Battleford.
Paving and prep work will begin this month for that expansion, Atcheynum said, with the project taking place over an 18-month period.
But a grand opening may happen sometime earlier than that, according to operations manager Roger Anderson, with dates of April or May possible.
The intention is to expand the front of the existing casino building by 6,000 square feet, with the addition to be located just west of the existing Kihiw Restaurant.
The project will add a �non-smoking area away from the gaming floor itself,� said Atcheynum.
Plans for the expansion have been in the works for some time, having been unveiled at a luncheon for Battlefords Tribal Council last spring. The move would increase the size of the casino and address concerns about ventilation inside the building.
The addition would go on what is now a parking lot. Addressing the parking situation will be the first priority before the main construction begins.
Atcheynum said the first phase of the project will expand parking between the Gold Ridge Centre and Kihiw and also at the back of the existing casino.
�The main thing is to get the parking facilities completed first,� said Atcheynum.
In the meantime, it continues to be business as usual as far as operations at the casino, with no impact on the gaming itself.
Atcheynum spoke of the expansion plans at the launch of the new Smoke Signals progressive jackpot. The new top-level jackpot starts at $1 million across Saskatchewan, something he said would create �more excitement in the province.�

Elegie Lyrics - Patti Smith
I just don't know what to do tonight,
My head is aching as I drink and breathe
Memory falls like cream in my WOUNDS, moving on my own.
There must be something I can dream tonight,
The air is filled with the moves of you,
All the fire is frozen yet still I have the will, ooh, ah.
Trumpets, violins, I hear them in the distance
And my skin emits a ray, but I think it's sad, it's much too bad
That our friends can't be with us today.

Around Australia this week a new generation of university students is being freshly minted and they have their own cultural reality. The Class of 2013 are the Wiggles generation and they expect education to be entertaining, interactive and colourful.
Having grown up through the Wiggles era in which approaches from early childhood education were successfully combined with popular music, entertainment and marketing they want excitement in their learning.
Dr Collette Snowden, at UniSA School of Communication, International Studies and Languages has considered the differences between the life experiences of the cohort of students who completed Year 12 in 2012 and their tutors and lecturers.
"For the majority of this year's undergrads (born in 1994 or 1995) Kurt Cobain, Audrey Hepburn, Fred Hollows and Rudolph Nureyev have always been dead, and newspapers have always been a medium in decline," Dr Snowden says.
"Kylie Minogue and Elle McPherson are older than many of their mothers.
"So for academics teaching the Class of 2013, the case studies, examples and references to people and events used in the classroom require careful consideration if they are to hold any relevance for these students.
"Our assumptions about what constitutes 'general knowledge' are challenged when we consider their life experiences, and reflect on how different they might be from our own."
The Class of 2013 are in the tip end of the generation defined as 'Generation Y' or 'Millenials,' and there are clear generational differences between them and the average academic aged between 45 and 55 and even their even slightly younger colleagues.
"The one clear defining feature that characterises the Class of 2013 is the transition from an analogue to a digital world," she says.
"And while they are effectively 'digital natives', it doesn't mean that they completely understand or appreciate how the technology they use works. But they do expect it to work."
For this generation of students there has never been a time when the rich graphic interface of computers and video game consoles have not been available.
The Simpsons, once touted as undermining values, have been their cartoon family companions since birth and they cannot imagine life BMP – Before Mobile Phones. For many of these students, their first mobile was a smart phone, their first computer was a laptop and their first camera was digital.
They have grown up with reality television and its message that everything in life is a competition.
They have also grown up with fear of terrorism as a constant.
With the first Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report issued in 1994 debate about climate change has also been a constant presence in their lives.
They will enter the workforce as Babyboomers retire and Generation X consolidates control of government, business and other institutions.
While they will have a different set of values and aspirations, they share the same desire for peace and happiness of previous generations. And while they may express them in new ways – lol, ftw, omg, rofl – they have the same emotions and frustrations.
Their first 18 years have been a time of technological progress and growth, but also uncertainty in global politics.
Economic conditions in Australia have been good for most of them, for most of their lives.
"As their teachers we need to be aware of their socio-cultural reality," Dr Snowden says.
"That doesn't mean they can't learn about the icons and experiences of the past, but we need to be engaged and refreshed by the experiences, trends and issues that matter to them now."
Their undergraduate years should prepare them to be active participants in the Australia they want to live in, she says, even if that includes singing The Wiggles catalogue at Karaoke nights and reminiscing about NAPLAN tests.
The following list, based on Australian news reports and events from 1994, gives some indication of the life experiences of the Class of 2013.
1. Kurt Cobain, Audrey Hepburn, Fred Hollows, Weary Dunlop and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, have always been dead.
2. The Wiggles won the ARIA award for Best Children's Song in 1994 and were performing up to 500 shows a year, so chances are that these students went to at least one of them.
3. Qantas has always been privatised.
4. They might just know who Paul Keating was, but they can't remember a time when a Labor Prime Minister was not only despised by opponents, but also respected.
5. Pay television has always been available to this generation of Australians.
6. The average wage was $658, and a litre of petrol was about 60.8 cents.
7. They believe that it's possible to be successful at anything as long as you "want it badly enough."
8. Following years of negotiation between Steve Jobs then at Pixar, and Disney, Toy Story, the first feature-length film created using computer-generated imagery rather than traditional animation finally went into production.
9. Popular toys included everything and anything concerned with Power Rangers.
10. The Australia Science and Technology Prize was awarded to American ecologist, Gene Likens, for work on Sustainable Land Management.
11. The name of Australia's largest Telecommunication provider has always been Telstra.
12. Nick Leeson was not giving advice to businesses about risk and Corporate Social Responsibility, but was the notorious Rogue Trader who brought down Barings Bank.
13. Newspapers have always been a declining media business. The Class of 2013 do not read them anyway. But they do watch The Project.
14. Thanks to Netscape Navigator, the use of the internet without graphics and point and click interactivity is largely unknown to them.
15. This is the first generation to have grown up with accessible home video game technology.
16. Computers started to get faster following the introduction of the Pentium Processor.
17. A controversy was ignited when Cathy Freeman carried the Aboriginal flag on the lap of honour after winning the 400 metres track event at the Commonwealth Games in Canada.
18. They are more familiar with Prince William than Prince Charles, and with Kate rather than Diana.
19. Their first camera was digital.
20. Bob Hawke has always been an avuncular, silver haired, ex-Prime Minister – any references to his radical past require archival footage.
21. The Fremantle Dockers have always been in the AFL, and the AFL finals have always been based on a final 8 following the introduction of the McIntyre Final Eight System.
22. The Wollami pine was discovered by bushwalker David Noble.
23. The Shawshank Redemption and Four Weddings and a Funeral, began the journey to constant repeat showing, although Forrest Gump won out at the Academy Awards with best picture.
24. Peter Andre was not a UK reality television celebrity, but the winner of the 1994 ARIA awards for the Highest Selling Australian Single, "Gimme a Little Sign."
25. The term 'on the spectrum' has always referred to people, rather than rainbows.
26. Nelson Mandela, is elected President of South Africa, and is known more for his role as a statesman than for his role as a dissident prisoner.
27. Michael Jackson goes from the triumph of performing at the US Superbowl and Grammy Award ceremony, to the disgrace of child abuse accusations that haunt the rest of his life.
28. They really don't know who Monica Lewinsky is, or anything about her relationship with the US President, Bill Clinton.
29. In Lillehammer, Norway, Australia won its first Winter Olympics medal with a bronze in the men's 5,000 metres short track speed skating relay team of Steven Bradbury, Kieran Hansen, Andrew Murtha, Richard Nizielski and John Kah.
30. Francis Giacco won the Archibald Prize for portraiture for his homage to cellist John Reichard, while Bill Leak won the People's Choice Award for a portrait of Malcolm Turnbull.
31. In Afghanistan, the struggle for power between various groups, including the Taliban, resulted in the collapse of the central government. Pakistan provided refuge for 1.5 million refugees.
32. The first genetically modified food, the Flavr Savr tomato, was approved for commercialisation in the United States, but proved not to be viable.
33. Shorts are a suitable item of clothing for every occasion, whatever your age.
34. It was the start of the Mark Taylor era of Australian cricket.
35. There has always been a Big Day Out in the summer.
36. The Miles Franklin award for literature was won by Rodney Hall for The Grisly Wife.
37. The David Unaipon Award for literature was won by Valda Gee and Rosalie Medcraft for The Sausage Tree.
38. The Australian Opera performed for the first time outside of Australia, at the Edinburgh International Arts Festival.
39. Silvio Berlusconi was elected as Prime Minister of Italy for the first time, while John Major was in the middle of his term as the British Prime Minister.
40. There has always been an obesity epidemic.
41. Kerry O'Brien has always been a journalist on the ABC, but they don't know Jana Wendt.
42. The Class of 2013 have no idea who Christopher Skase was, or why he was pursued for most of their childhood.
43. There has always been a Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.
44. Despite gloomy predictions about the environment there were signs of hope in the rediscovery of Gilbert's Potoroo after nearly 100 years.
45. There is a good possibility that their name, if male, is Michael, Christopher or Matthew, and if female, Jessica, Ashley or Emily.
*** In the process of researching information for this list it was impossible not to encounter and acknowledge the US Mindset List produced by Professor Tom McBride and Ron Neif at Beloit College, Wisconsin. The Mindset List has been produced at the start of the US Academic Year since 1998.
By necessity there is some commonality of material, but differences between Australia and the USA required an original compilation of data from a range of publicly available sources.

Just had lunch there today and really love the atmosphere, the service and the food. We had lunch box of salmon teriyaki, the box was nicely and perfectly done using the freshest ingredient. In terms of price, it was very cheap, considered $8.50 and we get california roll, 2 generous size of salmon fillet, rice, salad, soup and spring rolls. Delish! The restaurant is very clean, the servers are very attentive and we didn't wait too long for our meal to be served. Overall, two thumbs up for this restaurant. Definitely would come back again. We highly recommend this restaurant.

The most creative and delicious rolls in town.
Posted by anonymouse on 06/20/2010
I've never been to Nobu, but my friend has, and she says the Loop is as good as Nobu, for a lot less money. I don't know, I just love it. I would never take the time to write a review, but I don't want this restaurant to close, so I want to encourage you to try it. They have all kinds of exotic combinations of flavors in their rolls. The rolls are large, and beautifully presented. The lunch special is great, 2 rolls and soup or salad (yum) for around 9 dollars. Please try them. We need this great Japanese restaurant to stay around a long time!

By far the best lil sushi joint I've found thus far in nyc. Truly original and delicious. Try their signature rolls; especially the angry blue crab. I have dreams about the tempura rock shrimp. I will be going there agin and again.

This restaurant rocks! It's a clean, cozy place with quick service. Their fish is extremely fresh!

I've tried this place for delivery twice, and eaten there in person 2-3 times. It sounds like most reviewers have ordered their specialty rolls and some creative (non-traditional) appetizers, and I've stuck to more traditional fare, so that may be why I'm not blown away by The Loop. The homemade shrimp shumai are weird -- they're just shrimp & chicken meatballs wrapped in thin egg noodles. Not very tasty and not what you expect or want from shumai. The vegetable spring roll is also totally forgettable -- hardly any filling, greasy, all dough. The miso soup is standard. Lobster miso quite tasty, but again, nothing suprising or especially good. I've always ordered the 3 maki lunch special (3 rolls with soup or salad; I get spicy tuna, yellowtail scallion, and crispy spicy snow crab avocado). It's a great deal, but the quality seems to be better when you dine in rather than get delivery. Also, I agree with other reviewers that the rice can sometimes be dry. One day, the fish will seem very clean & fresh; another, dry and bland. Today I ordered delivery, and it was as though they were short on nori or measured incorrectly -- none of my rolls had a full piece of nori around them, so the stuffing was falling out. The yellowtail seemed bland and not very fresh, and whatever was in that crab roll was definitely not crab. I didn't take my chances with eating it. Maybe if I came in for tuna pizza and their specialty rolls (many of which seem to of the 'stuffed with cream cheese & deep fried' variety), I'd like the place more. However, I've given them 4 tries, and for fresh, traditional sushi and maki, I'll be going elsewhere from now on.

The Loop is perfect for any sushi lover. They have long list of very creative special rolls. The sushi makers take alot of pride in their work. I watched them make a few rolls and each one was made with love and attention. I even saw the guy toss a piece of tuna because it didn't meet his standards. All of the rolls we had tasted fresh and were on par or better than other expensive high end sushi restaurants. The service was great too. The staff is cheerful and very enthusiastic about their food. The only downside is the atmosphere. It is a little small and the decor is only adequate. All together it was a great experience and I would go back in a hearbeat. Great value!!

Fox News turns 15
By ABDON M. PALLASCH / Political Reporter email@example.com September 29, 2011 6:32PM
Neil Cavuto in 1996.
Article Extras
Updated: January 23, 2012 3:46AM
The Fox News Channel has reached the age of adolescence: 15 years.
Does that mean the precocious conservative voice, ridiculed by some segments of the "mainstream media," is maturing into a more "fair and balanced" version of itself?
Republican media consultant-turned-Fox News President Roger Ailes suggested that last week in a Newsweek story by Howard Kurtz describing a move to the center to build the audience.
And viewers across the country have watched in recent weeks as Fox reporters asked Republican presidential candidates debate questions so tough that in Iowa, frequent Fox guest Newt Gingrich indignantly lectured them, saying a "Fox News commentator" should know better than to ask a "gotcha" question.
Even President Barack Obama reportedly told Fox host Bret Baier after that debate, "By the way, you guys did a great job in Iowa."
On Monday, Fox's respected business news chief, Neil Cavuto, brings the 15th birthday party to Chicago, interviewing the CEOs of United Airlines, McDonald's and Boeing, along with other Chicago business leaders and Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels. The 3 p.m. show will air live from the Trump International Hotel & Tower.
From the beginning, Fox News has spliced the more evenhanded reporting of Cavuto, Shepard Smith and (more recently) Chris Wallace, among others, with the unabashed Democrat-bashing of talk-show hosts Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and — for a time — Glenn Beck.
Seconds after Cavuto finished his show last week asking Donald Trump whether New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie should jump into the presidential race — a movement Fox covered more than the other networks — "Five" host Greg Gutfeld opened with, "This show is tighter than Nancy Pelosi's face!"
Keith Olbermann, who proved too liberal a voice for rival network MSNBC and now appears on Al Gore's Current channel, joined Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas last week in ridiculing the notion that Fox is becoming more mainstream:
"Do we see Roger Ailes, sitting in his basement laboratory like Frankenstein after the monster gets out saying, 'How am I gonna get this thing back in here?' " Olbermann asked.
Moulitsas scoffed, "The notion that they're moderating is ridiculous."
Documentaries have investigated Fox News' alleged role in pushing a Republican agenda, stoking fears of terrorism, dismissing global climate change or advancing the interests of big business.
About the only broadcast journalist granted interviews with former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a paid Fox News commentator, is Fox's Greta Van Susteren.
No one can deny Ailes had a great business idea 15 years ago, creating a news network to serve the millions of Americans who considered the mainstream media too liberal.
"What Roger Ailes did was he saw a niche — he fed the thirst for audiences to have a different perspective, more conservative," said Bruce DuMont, CEO of Chicago's Museum of Broadcast Communications. "What Rush Limbaugh was able to do in radio, [Fox News creator] Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes were able to do in television. They do it better, with more pizzazz. They have come up with a product that, although critics may not hold it in high esteem, viewers do."
The numbers don't lie: Among cable news channels, Fox commands the largest share of viewers and advertising dollars in most time slots. Movers and shakers who want to reach viewers grant interviews to Fox.
"They like the fact that we're an important audience to reach," Cavuto told the Chicago Sun-Times.
Fox's success has forced competitors to change the way they cover the news. "They've made CNN have to improve their presentation skills," DuMont said. "It woke them up. They realized they could not sit on their lead."
Everybody now does graphics better — the election night maps, the charts and graphs to explain business news, even an actual pizza pie, Cavuto said.
Not everyone sees a change for the better.
"They certainly altered the landscape of cable news," said Larry Stuelpnagel, a professor of broadcast journalism at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. "Before Fox came along you could watch CNN and see a lot of news from around the world. Fox came up with a formula for talking about the news, instead of reporting it. They started talking and they made a lot of money. That model has been picked up by both CNN and MSNBC."
That forced CNN to turn inward and scale back its ambition of focusing more American attention on the outside world, Stuelpnagel said.
"I'm in the business of training journalists," Stuelpnagel said. "Here we train them to be 'fair and balanced' in every sense of the words. You can only get that sort of perspective when you're physically there. When all you're doing is pontificating on events you haven't witnessed, and throwing your own spin on it, I think the American people get shortchanged. When I travel and see CNN International, you get much different news than you get here. You get the worldview. I miss that."
Cavuto said after his 15 years and 1,000 shows on Fox News and the Fox Business Channel, "No one tells me or anyone else what to cover."
Ailes hired him from CNBC 15 years ago because "Roger Ailes bought my line that we could 'democratize business news,' " Cavuto said. "I said it might make more sense to quit talking to brokers and talk to regular folks, if only to influence my wife to watch me on TV. I said I wouldn't use jargon. There has always been a sort of an eliteness to business news."
A former intern in President Jimmy Carter's White House, Cavuto says he lobs hard questions at Democratic and Republican members of Congress and presidents alike. He thinks Obama is mismanaging the country's economy.
"I'm not red or blue, I'm green," Cavuto said. "I'm just focused on people's money: Who's spending it, who's wasting it."
After beating cancer and contracting multiple sclerosis, the last thing Cavuto says he worries about as he does his job every day is criticism that the network is too conservative.
"I recognize that from the nature of what we are and what we've become that a lot of people love Fox and a lot of people hate Fox," Cavuto said. "Life is fickle. People will think what they will based on nothing factual but something emotional."

US 'deeply concerned' about South Sudan violenceDecember 31, 2013 @ 5:41 pm
HONOLULU (AP) - The White House says it remains "deeply concerned" about the fragile security situation in South Sudan.
In a statement Tuesday, spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden urged South Sudan's leaders to take immediate steps to end the current conflict. She also welcomed an agreement between the government and rebels to hold talks for the first time.
Hayden says the U.S. will deny support to any elements that use force to seize power and will work to ensure accountability for those perpetrating atrocities and war crimes. She says the U.S. is concerned about reports of human rights abuses allegedly carried out by both the government and rebel forces.
More than 1,000 people have been killed in ethnically-based violence that began coursing through South Sudan in mid-December. Some believe that estimate is too low.

At the first time when I tried that my lashes looked really bad, they looked really stickey and stuff..
but after two or three time of using its amazing!
Its really waterproof, you have to have a good make up remover to remove it from your lashes!
P.S Note that I have the waterproof one, because my local drugstore did not have normal one!
Yuck! I picked this up at Walmart and tried it and I am so not impressed. My lashes looked clumpy and like spider legs. This is going back!
I am a Voluminous Full Definition (gold) fan but this to me does the same job without the clumps that Voluminous has to contend with. My lashes get length and volume. Two coats is perfect for day and 3 takes it into night. The packaging is also very sexy, which I have sacrificed with Voluminous. My new favorite.
Fantastic mascara. Lasts through crying and a hot sunny day. The packaging is very pretty. However, it might be a bit heavy. But I think this is my new HG mascara. For $7, I am in love!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I am very picky about mascaras. I have non-existent lashes and need a mascara that builds volume and length. Oh my, this does it!
I have bought Maybelline Collossal, all Cover Girl's, Voluminous, Max Factor's newest 2000 Extreme, and on and on.
I do believe this is what you're looking for if you want very black, standout sooty lashes.
I am very happy!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm sort of undecided on this one. I have been on a hunt for a HG mascara. I really wanted this one to be the it mascara for me. It makes my lashes super dark black and super long. I just wish it gave more volume. However, people did tell me that my lashes looked beautiful when I was wearing this. One of my friends told me that my lashes were waving at her. I did experience a little flaking not a lot though. I do LOVE the packing. It looks so sleek and posh! This mascara can get clumpy. It started to clump on me after 4 or 5 coats.
UPDATE: Okay so I went out last weekend and I took a ton of pix and this mascara is amazing. It makes my thin, blonde eyelashes, thick, dark, and volumeous just amazing. Also, it didn't smudge or flake! I can't wait till this stuff is available in Canada!
Update: I no longer wear this. Started to flake and clump.
I had pretty high hopes for this mascara and I wasn't TOO disappointed. I can always judge a mascara from the brush and when I pulled this out of the tube it looked very promising. It really wasn't too bad to be honest but, like another reviewer said, the formula was quite thin. I find that when I first put it on, it's great and my lashes look stunning but by the end of the day, they weren't holding the same great curl. I can live with that though and overall, i really liked this mascara and would probably buy it again. I just always have to buy the newest mascaras that come out so I never stick with one lol
More reviews by royaljosieness
I love this mascara!! It reminds me of MAC Plush Lash. The brush is really big and it makes me small lashes super dark, long and really really thick! I've tried Benefit, MAC, Dior and Lancome's mascaras in the past and this L'oreal one seems to beat them all. The price is okay...$8 at CVS. It's kinda high for a drugstore mascara but it's definitely better than paying $20 for something that doesn't work!!
I dont' know why all the negative reviews. I have fallen in love with this mascara. I usually use NYX Doll Eyes and I have no intention of giving it up. But this is a fantastic quality mascara. Yes, it is following the BIG tube trend on mascaras, but the quality of the product in the tube is good. I get plump, long lashes and for some reason this formula really makes mine curl at the ends. My eye look very wide open with this mascara. This did not smudge, smear, or flake on me and lasted very well. Removed fairly easily with my usual Eye makeup remover. Picked up in Wal-mart for around $7-8. Would I purchase, again, probalby yes,,,,,until the next mascara trend comes out.
I found this product be horrible. To me its not worth your money. I love the Maybeline Great Lash in the Pink and Green tube better than this product.

The son of a career army officer, Bennett led a nomadic life, attending ten different schools before graduating in 1980 from the University of North Alabama with degrees in Art and History. After brief stints as a staff artist at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Fayetteville (NC) Times, he went on to serve as the editorial cartoonist for the St. Petersburg Times (1981-1994) and The Christian Science Monitor (1997-2007), before joining the staff of the ...
Yeah, Congress looks terrible. Harry Reid's Senate hasn't passed a whole budget in two years; it voted down President Obama's budget 97-0. Nancy Pelosi's House tanked the economy and blew up the deficit, in cahoots with Reid and Obama. Lately the tea party has managed to slow spending growth by a few million here and there out of trillions; a small improvement but the only improvement there is. At state level, what, 8 of the 9 best state economies feture GOP governors? Hmmmm.
Au Contraire, Clay. Please! I'm afraid this cartoon is way off. Why should the current congress be blamed for what the last one did??? SSoooo silly. This is like a doctor being handed a cancer patient with two weeks left to live and then being blamed for their condition!
blame the congress all the way back to f.d.r.'s time or father.* now they are trying to put a band-aid on a sucking chest wound!!
*(and the presidents and the guvs,and the gen.population for putting up with it.)THE FREE RIDE IS JUST ABOUT OVER!!!
Congress is terminal which indicates a need for drastic treatment. One good treatemnt can be seen at:
Congress and the wealthy don't like this proposed treatment and will not process H.R. 25 and S.13.
Who do you think pays legislatively imposed cost and taxes on any business. Do you think those cost might be in the cost of goods and services we purchase?
A seriously ill congress will investigate the $500 million loan to solar panels producer Solyndra after Solyndra'a announcement they would lay off 1,100 workers and file bankruptcy. This is the company Obama and energy secretary Chu said would soon add 1,000 jobs and was the future of the country. They are the third solar company to file for bankruptcy.
They said they could not compete with the cheaper product from China. God forbid congress investigate why they can't compete, it is not the wage difference. Is congress reluctant to learn the impact of local, state and federally imposed cost, burdens and restrictions on businesses? Revealing that may require them to address why American jobs keep getting exported.
The physician in attendance is a quack. It's obvious the poor patient is suffering from a lack of oxygen and unemployment, which was caused by an undiagnosed case of the housing bubble virus. The patient's survival depends upon a massive dose of oxygen and employment, but the quack wants to cut off the patient's nose, right arm, and left foot,
Obama muffled and then killed the recovery. On Thursday we can expect him to come up with more of the same, counterproductive policies that FDR used to extend the great depression to a 10 year long nightmare.
The FairTax, H.R. 25 and S.13 would put the economy in overdrive without putting any additional strain on the debt. It is too bad that the political class in Washington is too drunk on the power they get from the current 70,000 pages of tax code they preside over. If they were not addicted to power it would be easy for them to see that the FairTax is what we need to get out of this economic malaise.
It would also help greatly to abolish all of the departments Obama is using to terrorize American businesses.
Absolutely typical that Bennett would let Obama off the hook in his otherwise worthwhile cartoon. Will Bennett ever stop cheerleading for Obama? I bet he thinks Jimmy Carter was a great president.
Worth a look!
Hambone said: "The attending physician's RX is not what is needed and he knows it. It's just that he hates the hospital CEO!! And is trying to get him fired!!"
Are you suggesting the attending physician is guilty of malpractice with malicious intent?
Your response to my post makes no sense. I didn't endorse either party. They both have their share that are bought and paid for. But, you can assume one thing that would be accurate. I will not vote for anyone currently in office which includes your favorite idiot in charge or anyone the other party presently has to offer.
You keep repeating yourself and never provide the action you think is needed to improve the economy.
Hambone said: "You bet cha!!"
Glad the guy isn't my physician. Having malicious intent is worse than being a quack.
Unfortunately the patient has no insurance and the team of treating physicians think two aspirin will cure the cancer that is killing the patient. 12 people on a "super" committee that will recommend the right treatment. That is malpractice at it's best. The republicans are bragging about holding the debt to around 26 trillion in 10 years instead of 28 trillion, who are they kidding? The interest on the debt, if we are able to borrow that much, will be around 1 trillion per year.
None of them have the nerve to end three wars and quit interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. None are willing to suggest phasing out all federal welfare programs or phasing out social security, medicare and medicaid. None have a specific plan to achieve energy independence. Why? Voters don't want to hear the truth or face reality so it is not possible to do what is right and necessary and hold a plush cushy influential get rich position.
Silly leftists are so convinced that you can borrow yourself into prosperity that they confuse sound economic policy with malicious intent. "To not borrow into insolvency is malpractice", in the mind of the "progressive". Do you have any idea how your arguments make you look?
Don't debate the issue, try to vilify the other side. When all else fails, try lying and name calling. How predictable.
Patient looks like Boehner around the eyes.
BigRidgePatriot said: "Obama muffled and then killed the recovery."
Get real, BigRidgePatriot. Have you completely forgotten that Congress is a separate, coequal branch of government? To date, most of these people have done absolutely nothing but take up space. Hambone's observations about the current Congress are correct. Their only goal to undermine the efforts of the current President, which in end undermines our chances for an economic recovery. I for one will not forget this kind of crap.
Rolando wrote: "No, that was FDR, MTJ. He started us on our long slide to bankruptcy and default."
I think that is the most ignorant thing you have ever written into this forum to date. Only you would go back to the thirties to blame a Democrat for our current mess. FDR had nothing to do with it.
From 1945 to 1975, the national debt had fallen from $3.1 trillion to just under $2 trillion. From 1975 until 1981, the debt grew slightly to $2.2 trillion. Spending to fund World War II and the aftermath of the Great Depression were both equally responsible for a $2 trillion dollar brief rise in the debt under FDR.
Reagan was elected and took office in 1981 and during his eight years in office, the debt doubled to over $4 trillion and has been going up ever since, with the exception of the last four years of Bill Clinton's Presidency, where it leveled off and fell slightly, due to his insistence on balanced budgets for those last four years.
As much as everyone dislike Obama...and his (dis)approval ratings in multiple venues support this...they intensely dislike the way the Republicans are handling everything.
I believe things will drastically change in 2012 but not the way most people think that it will.
can any Republican/Tea Party/Conservatives/Right Wing etc. people explain how it is acceptable for an entire party to forego any comprise and focus soley on getting rid of the current president?
i'm not picking sides, or kidding around. i really want to know.

i see Mr. Rolando studied hard because he actually is more right (righter??) than her (alprova) sorry! mrs, but i can't talk as good as you and you being so smart and all, but i do remember if we go way way back to find out the truth of what happened it is so. the records and stuff don't lie. sorry, i know it hurts to be wrong but sometimes we have to be honest and say yes! i was wrong!
