GOP Blames Scare Tactics for New York Loss.
WASHINGTONRepublican leaders, faced with the unexpected loss of a congressional seat in New York, said Wednesday that a GOP proposal to overhaul Medicare played a role in the election upset Tuesday.
But they accused Democrats of deploying scare tactics aimed at the Medicare plan that could sabotage bipartisan efforts to rein in federal spending and debt this year.
Democrat Kathy Hochul won the House seat from western New York, in a Republican-dominated district, after a campaign in which she consistently attacked the GOP Medicare plan.
She carried 47% of the vote, to 43% for Republican Jane Corwin and 9% for a third-party candidate.
In November, a Republican won the same House seat with 68% of the vote.
The victory emboldened Democrats on Wednesday to stand firm against changes in the program in coming budget talks. It is also solidifying their strategy of making their stance on Medicare a centerpiece of the party's 2012 campaign message.
Republicans tried to minimize the significance of the issue in the special election, but they acknowledged that the results signaled that they would have to do a better job of explaining their Medicare proposal to votersor else change the subject.
"It can be a powerful political weapon," Rep. Paul Ryan (R.,Wis.), said in an interview on MSNBC Wednesday, citing ads attacking the plan he authored. "People in the Republican Party are nervous because of these kinds of ads."
At a later appearance Wednesday, Mr. Ryan said Democrats were "shamelessly demagoguing and distorting" his plan. "We call it 'Mediscare.' "
He said the result could be "political paralysis'' as the two parties try to negotiate measures to reduce federal budget deficits. "That means nothing gets done. That means we go further down the path to debt," he said.
Under Mr. Ryan's plan, which the House approved last month on a near party-line vote, Medicare would no longer be a fee-for-service program. Instead future retirees would choose from a menu of private insurance plans, which would be subsidized by the government. People now age 55 and older would not be affected.
The special election in the New York district, between Rochester and Buffalo, was watched nationally because Democrats had framed it as a referendum on the Medicare overhaul.
Ms. Corwin, the GOP candidate, had endorsed the plan, drawing attacks from Ms. Hochul and from Democrats around the country.
"Medicare is huge," said Carol Kociela, a Democrat and retired Amherst, N.Y., bank executive who voted for Ms. Hochul. "When that whole issue started playing on the ads, you could tell immediately that people were very concerned and seriously considering whether or not they could vote for a conservative."
The results emboldened Democrats who have been arguing that their party should give no ground to the GOP on cutting Medicare in negotiations over a deficit-reduction package. Members of both parties say a spending-cut package is needed in order to build support in Congress for raising the nation's borrowing limit, a step the Treasury says must be done by Aug. 2 to avoid default.
Sen. Patty Murray (D., Wash.) chairwoman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, said the New York results bolstered her plans to make the Medicare debate central to Senate races across the country in 2012.
"The results provide clear evidence that Democratic senators and Senate candidates will be able to play offense across the country by remaining focused on the Republican effort to end Medicare," said Ms. Murray.
Mr. Ryan, the House Budget Committee chairman, said at a conference on fiscal issues Wednesday that Republicans were holding back on a proposal to overhaul Social Security because they feared Democrats would use it to stir voter anger.
"We believe that if we put a Social Security plan out there, it would be too easy for Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi to demagogue it,'' he said, referring to the Senate and House Democratic leaders.
In an earlier speech at that conference, former President Bill Clinton warned Democrats against standing pat and fighting proposals to rein in Medicare costs.
"You should draw the conclusion that people made the judgment that the proposal in the Republican budget is not the right one," he said. "But I'm afraid that Democrats will draw the conclusion that because Congressman Ryan's proposal is not the best one, we shouldn't do anything. I completely disagree with that."
Special elections sometimes foreshadow the results of the next general election. But just as often, they end up being completely unrelated to what's to come. Shortly before the 2010 election, for example, Democrats won a tough special election in Pennsylvania, only to lose dozens of House seats that year.
Rep. Pete Sessions (R., Texas), who is spearheading the Republican House campaigns, said Tuesday: "Obviously, each side would rather win a special election than lose, but to predict the future based on the results of this unusual race is naive and risky."
The election results come at time when some House Republicans have been trying to draw attention to their efforts to spur economic growth and stimulate job creation.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.), who has given a series of speeches to argue that the GOP agenda is broader than cutting government spending, on Thursday will propose a package of job-creation measures that will include ideas about overhauling the tax code and curbing regulation.
why kick a party when it's down? no one is scared of the vocal 40% perma-minority that is the GOP party. and the demographics get worse for them every day. W. Bush really did ruin the GOP.
And you "Hope" voters won't win anything.
Cheers! :chug_it:
Obama is looking like a 2008 Republican
May 24, 2011|By James Carville, CNN Contributor
Conservatives howled over Obama's Mideast plan, but that plan was once lauded by George W. Bush and Tom DeLay.
As I sat watching the hysterical and apocalyptic reaction to President Barack Obama's speech addressing the Israeli and Palestinian conflict, in which he endorsed a position that was previously advocated by George W. Bush, Tom DeLay, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, opposition leader Tzipi Livni and even Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, it got me thinking about the other vicious attacks on the president's previous policies.
Let's start with the president's decision to continue George W. Bush's TARP -- the successful program that averted a financial collapse and bailed out the automotive industry.
I've always wondered why Bush didn't try to lay some claim to the successful outcome of that situation instead of expecting to be credited with the downfall of Osama bin Laden, which he actually had very little to do with.
The fact that Obama promoted the individual mandate health-care plan previously endorsed by Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty had the GOP up in arms.
But boy, what really got the boys on Fox News, talk radio and the Tea Party gassed up was when Obama praised Pawlenty, McCain and Romney's cap-and-trade carbon-control plan. And I almost forgot his stimulus program was attacked by John Huntsman for not being large enough.
But then again, it's hard to to top the doomsday predictions that resulted when the chairman of the Federal Reserve (who, by the way, was appointed by George W. Bush) instituted a program that was advocated by Ronald Reagan's favorite economist, the late Milton Friedman, who is universally acknowledged to be the most influential conservative economist of the 20th century.
Of course, he sure got an earful about taking Newt's advice and intervening in Libya, not to mention the stir he caused by just following George W. Bush's lead in sending troops to Afghanistan.
In 1992, Bill Clinton famously proclaimed himself to be an Eisenhower Republican. By that measure, I'd say President Obama is a pre-2008 John McCain Republican.
But this much is sure: The policies of the eventual Republican nominee, that is, anybody left running for it by the time of the vote, will be right in line with those of Sarah Palin. It's pretty remarkable that the next election is going to boil down to a competition between the 2008 Republican presidential candidate and his vice presidential nominee.
It's not that Obama is a socialist born somewhere other than Hawaii, or that he possesses a Kenyan anti-colonial mentality -- but that some Republican needs to stand up and say, with some legitimacy, that Obama is taking all of the GOP's ideas.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of James Carville.
Obama is Bush v2 in his actions. He happens to soften the blows by lying to you in most every speech but that's okay. You love Bush v2.
And we love larfing at you for loving him.
The phony Tea Party candidate siphoned off enough conservative votes to hand that election to the dems. I suspect we'll see more of his kind (long-time dems who suddenly run as newly conservative "Tea party" candidates with no chance of winning, but every chance of fooling 10-15% of the GOP voters).
As for the mediscare, anyone paying attention knows that Obamacare will cap medicare beginning in 2014 -- so it's basically the same "problem" the seniors have with Ryan's plan. Once again, it's all about who gets their message (or in some cases BS) out there the best.
to give my previous statement a little color... here's how Bush ruined the GOP
his Presidency, which was considered a failure on many levels, made the GOP abandon the middle ground. The base was incensed at his wild spending and giveaways like Medicare Part D... and wanted to "purify" their party. I've heard many on this forum say "he wasn't a real Republican" or stuff to that effect. And maybe that's true.
what was the reaction? The tea party. don't get me wrong, the tea party was successful in 2010 and won some local races.
but in 2012, on a national level, the GOP has a party that is too far right to win the Presidency.
Ideological purity will play well in the primaries but this medicare fight is just one of many situations where the base's need to cut spending conflicts with the country's enjoyment of spending. You can dispute this but the proof is in the pudding. every GOP candidate is stuck between the deficit hawk base and the more moderate middle. neither base is not big enough to win a general election by itself.
Much of Obama's domestic changes are very socialist. The federal government is involved in far too many things.
That said, Paul Ryan is an idiot. His plan was total nonsense. Medicare & Social Security can be tweeked but not cut out. Raise the age to 70 for both. People are living far longer. The problem is not insurance - it's what health care providers charge. In my area, an MRI (2 views) cost $4,200 at a hospital. The same at an independant imaging center is $910. Gougers.
Taxes need to be raised, not lowered. And for everyone. 45%+ pay no federal taxes.
The idea this was over the Ryan Medicare Plan is a propaganda joke.
This was due to a RINO running a bad campaign, and a lifelong Democrat (and three time failed Democrat Candidate) running as a Tea Party Candidate, and snagging 9%, more than enough to sway the election results.
It's ok, right now somehwere the (R) are planning to run-former Republican "Social Democrats", "Socialist Party", "Green Party" and "Universal Healthcare & Choice Party" candidates in every election going forward. ;)
just wait til the real benefits kick in it will be another aspect of American life that everyone but Republicans love. Like Medicare.
But let's roll with having me not said it.
Signing statements to circumvent Congress...
Bush Tax Cut extension
Exemptions and deductions continue for the same bracket
Failed transparency in government (God, please don't try to use OBL... He skirted a fargin' HC plan through at midnight...)
Patriot Act continuing
No bids continuing
Ignores Wall Street (ie: Executive bonuses for companies in dire straits)
And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...
My main point being, he's running the country more like Bush than he is like a Liberal. Healthcare and enviornmental strategy doesn't change that... He talks a huge game to you guys. He doesn't deliver.
Obama never promised to end Afghanistan, in fact he sold it as the good war. Obama never promised to end the Patriot Act or enact laws to limit CEO bonuses. Some things like Gitmo closing and the tax cuts I think he broke those promises but campaigning and governing are often different. I don't hold that against him.
Obama in many ways was an empty vessel and people put their hopes into what they thought he would be... what he is... is a corporate centrist. he pisses off both sides that's a sign of fairness. He never promised to be a progressive.
Being in the middle is 'progressive' these days:yes:
More laughs and shovel-ready BS...no need for 0 to promise anything except be the anti-American radical he is
An empty vessel? :P He was supposed to be so smart and professorial-no to mention clean and articulate :rolleyes:
ARRA and PPACA are among the most progressive American legislation ever and 0 signed them into law
B. Hussein Organizer stated he would dump teh Patriot Act...in '03
Promises he broke
Et al

From her unhappy, sheltered childhood to the powerful partnership forged by her marriage to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, to her remarkable achievements as champion of human rights, this blend of fond remembrance and impeccable research offers a rare, intimate glimpse into the life of a fascinating woman whose legacy continues today. David's book is available on Amazon at bit.ly/DavidRoosevelt. Also, check out the Ken Burns documentary The Roosevelts, An Intimate History.
The September luncheon will take place at the Plaza Club, located on the 21st floor of the Frost Bank building. The cost to attend is $25 for members of the San Antonio Bar Association and Plaza Club members, and $30 for nonmembers. As always, space will be limited, so please register early!

Katy Perry sang in the New Year!
The pop star capped off 2013 with a private show at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas Tuesday night. Invited guests of the hotel attended the show, as did Perry's boyfriend, John Mayer, who watched inconspicuously from the sound booth.
The show was essentially a compilation of Perry's greatest hits.
Perry made no mention of Mayer during her 80-minute set, but she did celebrate the arrival of 2014 with him at a private party at FIZZ Las Vegas.
Originally posted 12/20/2013 10:25AM
Silence makes the heart grow fonder? Maybe so at Katy Perry and John Mayer's house.
Both singers need frequent vocal rest – Mayer has needed it critically due to his serious vocal-cord problems – and so, quite often, their home can be oddly quiet.
"I understood that he couldn't talk, and the only way he could communicate was through an iPad," Perry, 29, says in an interview airing Friday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "Some days I have to go on complete vocal rest, like no anything, no whispering. Whispering is actually really bad. There's just a lot of silence in our house most of the time."

Casting Crowns Here I Go Again Lyrics
Last updated: 11/10/2014 03:34:31 AM
Father, hear my prayer
I need the perfect words
Words that he will hear
And know they're straight from You
I don't know what to say
I only know it hurts
To see my only friend slowly fade away
So maybe this time I'll speak the words of life
With Your fire in my eyes
But that old familiar fear is tearing at my words
What am I so afraid of?
'Cause here I go again
Talkin 'bout the rain
And mulling over things that won't live past today
And as I dance around the truth
Time is not his friend
This might be my last chance to tell him
That You love Him
But here I go again, here I go again
Lord, You love him so, You gave Your only Son
If he will just believe; he will never die
But how then will he know what he has never heard
Lord he has never seen mirrored in my life
This might be my last chance to tell him
That You love him
This might be my last chance to tell him
That You love him
You love him, You love him
What Am I so afraid
What am I so afraid
What am I so afraid of?
How then will he know
What he has never heard
Thanks to scottyb for submitting Here I Go Again Lyrics.
Beautifull | Reviewer: Caro | 11/9/14
This song speaks out of my heart. Aren't we all some kind of ashamed of the Gospel? And aren't we just keeping quite, not talking over Chrsit because we are afraid that our friend will think we are crazy and will stop loving us because of this? That is why I am not talking about it.
HERE I GO AGAIN | Reviewer: Opara .jnr | 10/9/13
Here I go again - time is not his friend | Reviewer: Samuel Samsix | 9/1/13
I cried today when I listen to song with the video by the youth. I remember how hurtful it is to try to save someone and don't seem to have the chance and enough enough words to make him or her understand how dangerous it is to go to hell but yet easy to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven
God give us grace to preach the Good News . Amen !
Last Chance! | Reviewer: Rolandben Austin | 5/14/13
Yeah!this might b my Last Chance to proclaim God's word to the World...When i heard this Song,i was moved in the Spiriet nd Emotionally....i tot of my frnds who have nt lisen 2Gods word....May God bless Casting Crowns
made me cry... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/11/13
i was really touched by the lyrics of this song. My eyes was on tears, praying for my friends who don't know that only God can save them. I really want them to be with praising God. when I hear this song, i remember all the lost sheeps and started praying for them. Please join me in my prayer....:)
"...this might be my last chance..." | Reviewer: Achenyo Adama | 7/3/12
Reminds me of the one of the things everyone of us have in common "mortality" and how it comes like a thief without notice and how i need to act fast to make it right and help others too before it's too late.
not heard before | Reviewer: anon | 6/5/12
I don't know how, but the first time I heard this song was today....how many times I just talk about the weather. It's a safe subject- or is it death to someone who doesn't know Jesus.
Great song | Reviewer: Dupsy | 1/6/11
This song is beautiful...it speaks volumes 2me in really loud decibels..i think it refers to someone who finds it difficult to speak the Gospel to his friends..It makes me appreciate rock genre more.
Amazing and Inspiring | Reviewer: daughterofgod45 | 2/6/10
WOW! The reason I love Casting Crowns is because they have really good mesages in they're songs. This song talks about when you're trying to help get a friend saved, and they aren't interested. But if you never tell them,
'How then will he know, what he has never heard' how WILL they know? 'What am I so afriad of?'
'This might be my last chance to tell him that You love him' do it NOW because it might by your, and their last chance. I PRAY FOR ALL OF YOU WHO ARE TRYING TO HELP A FRIEND GET SAVED!!!!
Life Changing | Reviewer: unknown | 9/21/09
I love this song sooooooooooo much!! It really spoke to my heart and I'm asking God for the courage to share him with my friends!!! Thanks so much Casting Crowns; May the Lord bless you and keep you!
Live in Holyness | Reviewer: SuLLy | 8/1/09
I love this song....Not only does it convict your spirit but it says plain and simple:
"But how then will he know
What he has never heard?
Lord he has never seen mirrored in my life"
YES that means you have to proclaim the good news to the poor but it also means you have to be a Christian everywhere you go not just in Church.
As God's chosen we need to walk the walk and talk the talk .....BE LIKE CHRIST bc more people came to Jesus by his actions than by what he said"
We should be a mirror image of God bc he created us in his image.
Amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/14/09
Wow, this song is amazing. This song describes when we try to minister to that one lost friend and you can't do it. "Here I go again, talking about the rain..", means getting off subject as the devil whispers and tells you that you won't do it. Great song by Casting Crowns. God Bless.
Last chance | Reviewer: Bass man | 5/12/09
This song gives out the perfect message. Life is short and everyone deserves to hear about god, but for some reason everytime i try to mention him to anybody im just overcome with this fear of what they'll think and what they'll say. I want them to know and have eternal salvation, because god calls us to love them all, but theirs some old familiar fear thats holding me back. How then will he know, when he has never heard? Lord he has never seen mirrored in my life.
it's so so good | Reviewer: vincent | 3/10/09
this song touching my heart... i realy mean it.. i want to sing this song, but my voice not so realy good, but i sing this song for all of my frends... FOR our GOD... keep it up Casting CROWN.. GOD BLESS
eager | Reviewer: Josh Rains | 3/5/09
this song is amazing. It has so much power in it. This song, when I first heard it a couple of years ago, made me realize that I need to serve Christ in everything I do and tell all my friends and enemies about the Love of God. Don't wait another minute.

Do you have brainpower and imagination? If so, design a supercool spy gadget and see it written into the next Alex Rider book
Click here to enter the competition
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past ten years, you'll know that Anthony Horowitz's Alex Rider books are teen spy novels that have taken the world by storm, selling 12 million copies to date.
Anthony is now writing the eagerly awaited ninth and final Alex Rider book, Scorpia Rising — and he needs your help.
Alex Rider's gadgets, supplied by a friendly MI6 operative named Smithers, are one of the best-loved elements of the books: from metal-dissolving spot cream to a CD player that turns into a circular saw, they have helped him out of all sorts of scrapes. Today we are offering Young Times readers the once-in-a-lifetime chance to design a gadget for Alex. The winning entrant, chosen by the author himself, will be written into the final book. Here is a hint to get you started: Anthony tells us that Scorpia Rising is set in Egypt — you may want to bear that in mind when you're dreaming up your gadget.
Smithers' competition rules
Your gadget must be an everyday item — something that Alex would be likely to carry in the field.
It has to be non-lethal. Mr Blunt forbids Alex to use any covert weapon that can harm or kill. Useful, fun and not too bloody, please.
Don't worry about your drawing skills; it's the idea that counts. You can draw or produce your gadget on a computer but it must be your original idea and it must be in colour. Give it a name and tell us how it works.
You must be aged 16 or under to enter.
The prizes
1st Prize Your gadget will feature in Anthony Horowitz's ninth Alex Rider novel, due out in spring 2011, and you will be credited in the book. You will receive a signed copy on publication. Your design will also be brought to life by the illustrator of Alex Rider: The Gadgets, and featured in Young Times. And you will receive a signed and framed copy of your design!
2nd Prize You will receive a cool e-reader loaded with the first three Alex Rider e-books.
Runners-up 20 runners-up will receive a Stormbreaker e-book.
How to enter
You can submit your gadget design online or by post. All entries must be received by midnight on September 3.

Thanks everybody. Really appreciate it.
The reason I asked for an extract recipe was because I'm not set up for all grain. I looked at the Deschutes website and saw only ingredients for all grain, but no recipe.
Jon, I'm going to give this one a try and will report back to how it turns out. Think I'm going to use dme, cuz I can't get lme in briess pils. I got the conversion, so should be good to go!
Thanks again!
Let's see if I keep this updated!
On tap
Black Butte clone
In secondary
Pumpkin ale
In primary
Honey wit
Up next.. Firestone Union Jack clone
I brewed it once last year. I recall that it was pretty close, but according to my taste buds the hops were too sharp/bitter in the taste department. As you know that could be me, the recipe, my equipment, etc. I also think I could have let it bottle condition a bit longer, patience have never been my strong suit. This is the long-winded way of saying yes, it's worth brewing.
Since we're on the topic of clones Sharps, I see you are going to do a FW Union Jack, care to share????

Parks Associates: 64% of all smart devices are part of a security or home controls system
New Internet of Things research reports nearly 4% of U.S. households will have a smart home controller in 2014
Parks Associates today announced Internet of Things (IoT) research showing nearly 4% of U.S. households will have a smart home controller by the end of 2014, with an estimated increase to nearly 6% by 2015. The firm's Evolution of Smart Home and the Internet of Things, which includes data from a 1Q 2014 survey of 10,000 U.S. broadband households, also reports 64% of all smart devices currently in households operate as part of a security or home controls system. Smart devices include motorized door controls, lighting controls, networked security camera, and programmable thermostats, among other devices.
The Internet of Things: Business Models & Opportunities, another Parks Associates industry report,analyzes predominant, disruptive, and innovative business models used within the smart home market. The report examines new revenue opportunities for OEMs and developers and provides business model details and case studies.
"The smart home is an emerging market with multiple channels, from service channels to retailers such as Staples and Lowe's," said Tom Kerber, Director, Research, Home Controls & Energy, Parks Associates. "The majority of smart devices installed today were acquired as part of a security or home controls system deployed by providers such as ADT, Comcast, or AT&T. However, consumers are starting to buy individual products such as smart programmable thermostats and smart smoke detectors in greater numbers and install them as stand-alone devices—but with the expectation that these new devices will interact with all existing and future devices in the home."
Over one-third (34%) of smart thermostats in U.S. broadband households were purchased stand-alone, the highest percentage among all smart products tested. Honeywell leads this product category, accounting for 25% of all smart thermostats in U.S. homes. GE is the top brand for smart lighting products, but for products such as smart plugs, most consumers simply do not know the brand.
"The Internet of Things is transforming all aspects of business operations, from product management to product development, from logistics to marketing, and from sales to service," Kerber said. "As more products enter the market, service providers and CE manufacturers in particular will need to reconcile their business strategies in order to deliver the interoperability necessary for the smart home."
Parks Associates will bring together industry leaders and analysts to address the smart home and Internet of Things market at Smart Energy Summit: Engaging the Consumer, February 16-18, 2015, in Austin, Texas. Visit www.smartenergysummit2015.com for event updates.

Legendary Larry
As we get this issue all set to go to press, we're also readying for what I like to call show season. That's the wintertime. When the nation's fishermen are more likely to be tied up, we travel around the country to regional fishing trade shows for the opportunity to see our readers face to face.
One of the first I ever attended was the Maryland Watermen's Show in Ocean City. It's officially called the East Coast Commercial Fishermen's and Aquaculture Trade Exposition, but I've never heard it called anything but Maryland Watermen's.
Larry Simns is one of the biggest reasons for that moniker. When you say "Maryland Watermen," you inevitably think of Larry, a fourth-generation Chesapeake bayman and a natural negotiator who has served as the association's president since its inception in 1970 (though the group officially incorporated in 1973).
Larry was in his 30s when he started leading the group, and in many ways he grew up with it. He's a faithful and respected community leader, but it wasn't always that way.
Larry and Robert Rich Jr. have been working on Larry's memoir for years. Like the association itself, the story of Larry's life has taken some time to gel. But the final product was well worth the wait. And with a forward by Jerry Fraser, publisher of WorkBoat and NF, and our former editor, the book is near and dear to us, as well as to the watermen Larry has worked so hard to represent for more than 40 years.
The excerpt from "The Best of Times on the Chesapeake Bay" that begins on page 20 is exemplary of Larry's approach to fishing and fish politics: take life as it comes, until things go sideways and then act with clarity, precision and purpose, but not arrogance. He took lessons from the commercial fisherman's life and applied them to his leadership at the association.
At any moment at sea, a fisherman may have to transition from an almost trance-like state of repetitive motion ("Dip. Dip. Dip," as Larry says) to fighting for his life or helping to save a crew member. Fishermen live with one foot on deck and one foot on the stage of human survival against the most ravaging elements of Mother Nature. Take your opponent for granted — even if she was your kind companion moments ago — and you're done for.
One of the perpetual elements of the fishing life is the rumble of the engine. What's your horsepower, how fast can she go, what's the price of fuel, what's the gph when you're steaming or when you're on the fish? And how can you improve on all of these variables? That's the big question we tackle annually in our Diesel Directory. This year, the story starts on page 24.
And the next time you see me, I just might be standing next to one of those shiny new engines.

Paper Plate Easter Baskets
Believe it or not, you can actually make an Easter basket out of things that you have at home. This paper plate Easter basket is the perfect example. It is adorable in the shape of a bunny head and will be perfect for egg hunts. Note that you probably won't want to stuff a lot of heavy things in this one but it's great for those who really don't want to buy baskets that are going to become clutter in a few days. You just cut the plates, staple and then decorate your bunny to create an adorable basket that is cheap and easy. Instructions – Jellyfishjelly
Bunny Pail Easter Baskets
This great little basket is actually a plastic pail that you can pick up at the Dollar Store for around a dollar. You just take the time to add the bunny face and it becomes the perfect little Easter basket. The pail can be filled with loads of candy and toys or craft supplies – whatever you want to give your little ones. You can decorate with ribbon, stickers, googly eyes or just about anything you want to create the bunny face or you can create an entirely different character. Instructions – Chocolate-candy-mall
Baby Easter Baskets
If you don't really want to give your baby candy, why not simply create a basket from a larger toy and fill it with other toys? A plastic truck or pink car (for girls) will be great for creating a little basket for baby. Just choose a toy that is age appropriate and fill with things that your baby needs. Bibs, bottles, and even baby food are all great choices for baby's first Easter. You can throw in a bit of candy for mom and dad or choose foods that baby can eat (depending on his or her age of course) like crackers, teething biscuits or other baby food type things. Instructions – Naughtysecretaryclub
Balloon Easter Baskets
These balloon Easter baskets are so adorable and really easy to make. If you want a basket that is easy, inexpensive and very unique, this is the one. You basically use a blown up balloon and some crochet thread to create the basket and the technique is much easier than it looks. Once finished, there will be an open place in the front of the basket that you can fill with goodies. These are great because you can make them in any size, depending on the size of the balloon that you use. Instructions – Kreationsbychattykathy
Stuff Animal Easter Baskets
Who knew a simple stuffed animal could be turned into an adorable Easter basket? This is one of the most unique and most adorable DIY baskets ever and is so easy to do. You will need to purchase a stuffed animal – unless of course you have loads of them just lying around. You just basically empty out the animal's stuffing and then create a basket from the outside. Note that there is a little sewing to actually create the basket and you'll need to attach a handle. Still, this is a very easy basket and so adorable that your little ones are bound to love it. Instructions – Theidearoom

The iconic 1964 Aston Martin DB5, featured in hit Bond films Goldfinger and Thunderball starring Sean Connery, has been bought by an American car enthusiast for £2.6 million at auction.
Clearly delighted with his new purchase, proud new owner Harry Yeagy said: "We're going to fire the car up and drive it round the streets of London tonight. We're going to have a bit of fun with it."
The silver model boasts revolving license plates, a bullet-proof shield and an ejector seat.
Still a worthy competitor for modern-day vehicles, the car can also reach speeds of 145mph.
The previous owner – also from the US – paid $12,000 for car in 1969.

ABB invests in Scottish renewable energy company
Company invests in tidal power
Company invests in tidal power
by New Statesman Published
Power and automation technology group ABB has invested about $13m in Aquamarine Power, a Scottish company that has developed technology to convert energy captured from waves near shore into clean, usable electricity.
The company's venture capital arm, ABB Technology Ventures, made the investment in a funding round that also included a $4.8m investment from SSE Venture Capital, the venture capital unit of Scottish and Southern Energy and other investors.
The investment provides ABB an entry into the emerging marine energy market, where the company has considerable pull-through sales potential for its power systems, power electronics and medium-voltage drives, the company said.
Aquamarine's Oyster wave power device consists of a hinged mechanical flap connected to the nearshore seabed that pipes high-pressure water to an onshore turbine for power generation.
In November 2009, the first full-scale demonstrator Oyster began producing power at the European Marine Energy Center based in the Orkney Islands, Scotland.

Breaking the Chain, continued
When Randall Robinson wrote The Debt, his peers told him it was a lunatic thing to do. They said that Robinson, who is head of the lobbying organization TransAfrica, would risk reputation and political capital. As it turns out, when the book came out last year, it became a best-seller, and he believes it helped convince a large majority of African-Americans to support reparations. But to succeed, he says, they need at least a minority of white support and sympathy. To that end, he has been attacking what he believes are misconceptions and misunderstandings about reparations.
According to Robinson, the core lawsuit will not target individuals. "No one is suggesting personal culpability. We are talking about crimes by governments against people," crimes that should not be touched by statutes of limitations, because when governments commit such crimes, they "have a certain immortality." The same is true for corporations, he says, bringing up a settlement with Volkswagen and other German manufacturers brokered by Stuart Eizenstat '67 when he was undersecretary of state. Robinson says that although the people who ran the companies when they used Jews as slave laborers during World War II are long since dead, those in charge now accept responsibility for what happened over 50 years ago as a result of corporate policy.
Robinson believes relief should be need-based. "We are talking about salvaging people who have been intergenerationally bottom-stuck virtually since the Emancipation Proclamation." Ogletree agrees and says that for people to expect that a reparations suit will get all African-Americans their "40 acres and a Lexus" is to trivialize slavery and its impact. "This is really about whether we can do something comprehensively to address the conditions that millions of African-Americans continue to face today," he said.
In May remedies were still being discussed, and according to Robinson, members of the committee still disagreed. Some in the group favored cash payments to individuals, some land transfers (harkening back to the 40 acres first promised in 1864). Robinson says it all depends on how you define reparations. "Are you compensating people for an injury?" he asked. "If so, then you would have to go back and add up the unpaid wages. Let's say we are talking about a trillion and a half. And you'd look at wage discrimination over the 20th century, several trillion. And you'd look at home equity discrimination, restrictive covenants, and redlining, and all of that. The figures suggest 80, 90 billion dollars per generation to the black community. You'd add up all the line items and then divide." But Robinson said he wants to focus on "repairing the victim. That means emphasis on education and economic development. So whatever it costs in programs from birth to career age we spend to give people a decent chance to compete evenly in American society."
Robinson doesn't support cash transfers. The recipients, because of "the particular character of this victimization, would be the least able to hang on to the money. And then we would be in a position of having lost all rights to pursue this further. . . . I think it would be a major, major mistake."
As a human rights activist, Robinson knows you can't lay a calendar on how long it will take to convince Americans of the validity of reparations claims. Robinson waged a campaign of protest in the '80s to heighten world consciousness about apartheid in South Africa (Ogletree was his attorney). In the '90s he staged a 27-day hunger strike to protest U.S. policy toward Haiti and the treatment of Haitian refugees. "We do these things because they are the right and decent things to do," he said. "With all the times I went to jail on these issues, I didn't expect to see a free South Africa in my lifetime." But change, he says, often comes more quickly than you'd expect.
According to Robinson, Americans should not be deterred by the massive amounts of money it would cost to set up the ambitious programs he envisions. "My God," he said, "we ought to be compassionate, to care about people who've been damaged." The real problem, he thinks, is denial.
"I've seen it in other countries. I've done human rights work for a long time, and I've seen other societies in denial. They just don't want to talk about it. But we've been in a position to almost force them. . . . I think the spotlight will be on the United States to see how we behave when the shoe is on the other foot."
* * *
Ogletree has heard from African-Americans who can trace their ancestry back to slaves and want to support him or be represented by him--although he says he is taking on no individual claims. He has received reasoned, respectful letters from those who adamantly disagree, inquiries from activists and academics who want to assist with the project, and threats that his friends and family wish he'd take more seriously. One letter writer said that African-Americans are not due even a "bucket of vomit."
He seems saddened but not necessarily surprised by the acrimony. "We are mindful of the fact that even discussing reparations or slavery, or civil rights, or affirmative action, or criminal justice will lead to some bitter reactions and further recriminations from American citizens," he said. "But when you attack a topic as controversial as this, you have to have the courage to stick with it.
"I am trying to reinitiate a conversation that was started around the time of the Emancipation Proclamation but that has remained largely unresolved in the 135 years since then. I feel obligated, I feel indebted, I feel committed to the voiceless slaves to say that in my lifetime I am not going to ignore this issue, just because it may create more enemies than I'd like to have, just because it may create just as much heat as light."
Some question whether academics should venture into such troubled waters. But Ogletree is quick to point out that his work on this project, like on other projects, has not interfered with his academic responsibilities. As he enters his sabbatical, which begins in July, he says the year off will allow him to spend more time on the reparations work, but he also plans to complete a book on the legal profession and continue to work on a study of public defender systems in South Africa, China, and Israel.
Moreover, he objects to putting limits on the role of the scholar in academe. "We have to be guarded about our ability to suppress the efforts of faculty to engage in what many believe to be critical issues in legal and moral analysis. We've had great periods of challenge that Harvard faculty have been involved in," he said, citing Watergate, debates over the Vietnam War, and most recently participation on all sides of the Bush/Gore election debate. "I think it is important that people who have the ability and the interest take on issues that may be uncomfortable but are necessary to be discussed."
Many of his colleagues on the HLS faculty have expressed interest in reparations, although not necessarily agreement.
HLS Professor Christopher Edley '78 says the principal benefit he sees to the debate is the possibility of educating Americans about the continuing legacy of slavery and Jim Crow. But he believes that "reparations is too divisive a banner under which to hold that discussion. It distracts from the relentless teaching that is needed to bridge racial divides." Edley also faults the reparations arguments for not addressing the situation of other groups, such as Native Americans, Asians, and Latinos.
Finally, Edley, who was appointed special counsel to the president in 1995 and served on President Clinton's race initiative, questions the feasibility of reparations. "As a political matter, this is so far from being achievable that it is a dangerous distraction from the concrete business of fixing our schools, defending civil rights protections, closing the opportunity gaps, and repairing the criminal justice system.
"What earthly evidence is there for the proposition that political majorities will support an innovative theory of generational indebtedness and guilt? We've got a better chance of persuading them that every child, regardless of class or color, deserves a world-class education. That is the battle. That is the battle these great black minds ought to be focused on."
* * *
To Ogletree, the word reparations means healing, repair, restoration. But before you can get to healing, he believes, you have to tell the story of what's been lost: millions of individuals who don't have a name. Slaves tossed off ships to lighten the load, sold at auction block, buried in markerless fields, deprived of their language and culture--their sense of love and community taken away. Ogletree has tried to trace his own family back, and at a point it just stops. "There are no grave markers, no birth records. Just a void that is palpable," he said. "If I could take the step to fill that void, to me that would be important. There would be no anger. There would just be a sense of closure."

Juan Carlos Quevedo, Albuquerque, NM.
Daniel Escalante, Taos, NM. These six words are coming from a person of color to a white person who says, "I feel guilty about what my ancestors did to create racist institutions and systems. " And, I feel that you blame me for what they did".
Shara Standefer Montoya NM Being one of the few non-latino's in both my family and community this is the response I always get when something like this comes up in the conversation is, "oh, I didn't mean you. I forgot you were white!"
Gabe Albuquerque, NM
Valarie Castillo Albuquerque, NM New Mexico IS in the United States.
Sabrina Vargas Albuquerque, NM Being Spanish I have light skin. Many people in Spain have blue eyes, green eyes, red hair. Just because I have red hair, and lighter skin than most Hispanics doesn't mean I'm white.
Sylvia Anderson Albuquerque, NM Raised in Detroit, parents liberal, family on both sides of civil war. Grandfather said "The south likes the black man and hates the black race, north likes the black race and hates the black man. My six words relate to a trip south in 1963. I desperately needed a restroom and […]
Laurie Mitchell Dunn Taos, NM In my northern NM community, Native Americans have been here for over 1,000 years and Hispanics for 400 years. Anglos are both minorities and relative newcomers (first arriving about 150 years ago). Even native born Anglos aren't really accepted as "locals". The Hispanics here have a saying: "Just because your […]
Nacho Santa Fe, NM I was born here.
KL Anderson Colorado Springs, CO Educational disparity has long been a racial card, but it's one the sinking middle class is now being dealt, too. This might actually play out as a great eye opener to the blue collar job holder who has been traditionally manipulated into bigotry.
Jamie Ann Kerestes Albuquerque, NM There are so many instances when I hear people say the craziest things about others, mainly immigrants. It's like they've forgotten their families immigrated here themselves.
Valerie Herrera Albuquerque, NM
Toya James Albuquerque, NM I am first generation biracial Black/White, aka multiracial like everyone else if you go back far enough. Also: "Is your father in the military?" inferring why else could you be in Albuquerque.
Barbara Jones Albuquerque, NM I was raised with a Northern European bias by Mom and family, my Black birth father not really being in the picture. It didn't bother me being the only kid of color in our white family – you do get some interesting questions. When people speak of our first Black president, […]
Danielle Boudreau Albuquerque, NM
George Williams Albuquerque, NM Read THE OWL
Elizabeth M Shontz Parker, NM I was on a murder trial several years ago. This is serious business and if there is not enough evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, there will be no conviction. Zimmerman should never have been charged in the first place. He acted within the parameters of Florida law which a clueless […]
Terry Sealing Las Cruces, NM We are all human beings.
Earnestine Simmons Las Cruces, NM The majority of Americans have foreign ancestors, but they don't wear an identification tag of their great- or great-great-grandparents. They are not always referred to as "British-American," or "Swedish-American," or "Italian- American." If nationality comes up at all, these people are simply "Americans."
B. Smith-Payne Carlsbad, NM As a black American, I feel that I must often act as a chameleon, in order to move in and through diverse social, economic, and political situations. Consequently, my "blackness" takes on various personas and can change in the blink of an eye. Thus, my question.
Jeannette Chavez Albuquerque, NM It was the early 70′s in the Texas panhandle. On a road trip we stopped at a diner to eat. He didn't want us in there. He ruined our food. He put pickles in my pancakes. His action enraged me. Now it scares me.
Aneshia Savino NM My mum named me after a black actress she admired, and every time someone who has not met me previously, reads my name this is said, or the equivalent look crosses their face. Sometimes I am asked if my family is from Egypt, Turkey, or India, all at once.
Suella Torres Deming, NM My husband and I will be celebrating our 5 year anniversary in February. We have a daughter together and 7 more mixed kids between us. Our kids are Afro Mexican Americans. With the exception of my oldest who is a third white. The range in colors is vanilla to caramel to […]
Kristina K. Albuquerque, NM Perhaps it takes a directly personal experience to be willing to see white privilege. We are a mixed-race family. My husband and I are white and watching our adopted Chinese daughter understand what it means (to her; to the world around her) to be different–not white/euro/caucasian like her parents, like most […]

I have now read five books by Tressler: "The Lost Coast DA," "The Trumpet Fisherman and Other Istanbul Sketches," "Prague Days and Nights," "Lost Coast Stories" and now "Letters from Istanbul."
And they are a joy to read because Tressler knows how to capture where he is, whether it is in a bar with friends, on the streets, at a protest rally or observing Valentine's Day in Turkey. He gives you the color, the feel, the sounds and the smells and he brings you along with him.
In this new collection, Tressler explores the mystery of the girl with the headscarf and the mini-skirt; he brings you the sessiz, or the city's silence. "Finally, there is the Bosphorous itself, that splendid piece of aqua-logic holding two continents together."
He tells you about his mistakes. "My first impression of Istanbul's most famous hotel was a false impression: I had the wrong hotel." He does find the right hotel and gives you a tour.
He is also an itinerant journalist and devotes a chapter to the brutal murder of an American woman, Sarai Sierra. Tressler describes where she had wandered before being attacked, the Sarayburnu district.
"Sarayburnu and the nearby Fatih district, are very conservative -- you see more women in headscarves there, and are located near rundown neighborhoods. At night they are not the safest places to be.
And the drivers. I can relate, having spent a week in Istanbul. I spent two days with a Turkish man who took me on a guided birding tour. On the second day we used his car and at one point he asked me if I wanted to drive. I have never answered a question so fast and so emphatically: "NO!"
Tressler explains it well.
"Driving seems to be something like breathing, done by the sympathetic nervous system.
"This can make a first-time visitor a bit nervous, especially since the concept of a one-way street seems to be absent from Istanbul's city map, not that the drivers would have troubled to look at one. Most bus drivers, taxi drivers, chauffeurs just have a sixth sense ability to just blindly navigate Istanbul's jungle of over-crowded streets."
Get the book, let James Tressler be your tour guide and do the driving. You'll enjoy it.

I like photography very much, and I devote a lot of time to it. I like to work in this World. It is exciting for me. Even if I am mostly nude, this does not stop my passion. I like boats and the sea, for me it's like breathing to be able to play in the waves, and to let the sea caress me.
