Like 2008, the Republicans will determine the 2012 elections, not the Democrats.
If not for Bush/Cheney destroying the economy and McCain running arguably the worst campaign in history, we would not have had our 1ST African American president. Now, as the Republicans have successfully carried on relentless obstructionism to keep the economy in the tank and have a cast of lunatics running for office( the best choice, Romney with be rejected as he is too moderate), there is no way Obama can lose despite record unemployment. These Republicans are a combination of Evangelicals and Libertarians that are so far to the right they will never get elected.
The core problem for any candidate is the inherent contradiction of goals. One one hand the cry for more jobs. The other side of the equation is cutting out-of-control spending. They are two objectives that by definition clash in both implementation and outcome. People scream when military related jobs are cut, hence no cut in military budgets. Building roads, bridges and other government related projects means MORE spending. Cuts ... sure, but from where. The government has grown so big, it can only gasp for air to remain alive. My point, is that NO person, president or not, is going to solve the problem. There is NO magic bullet to end the global economic crisis. As corny as it sounds, the only solution will the proverbial Invisible Hand that induces collapse of failed and bloated systems. The worst is yet to come ... and I'm an optimist by nature.
a) You are not representative of most Americans
b) You are a highly partisan Republican and are thus won't to be optimistic about your side's chances. You're objectivity is questionable at best
c) True inflation on food and fuel are going to be big issues, but (you can call me elitist if you like) these issues are not going to be connected to the deficit.
@Phillip OCarroll-
"I just don't see how the deficit can really be a vote winner for Republicans or a vote loser for Democrats. It's just too abstract a concept for most Americans. "
It's not an abstract concept because most Americans can see the effect of the deficit in the form of prices as a result of the Fed printing money and the Chinese being skittish on loaning more of it. There's nothing abstract about watching the prices on food and fuel rise.
Dr. D, I dislike the extremes and failures of the Republicans as much as anyone, but I have to tell you, people like you exemplify why I deeply refuse also to be a Democrat. Neither of your examples of government employment brings in any money; they serve and are paid for by private enterprise, and can only truly exist in proportion to the actual needs of private enterprise. That government can't create artificial needs without having them collapse eventually is what was meant. But instead of trying to look past the surface for a substantial point of governmental philosophy to argue about, you've marked yourself as a dreary, predictable left-wing demagogue, and in my view fully as dismissable as the people you were talking about.
The Republicans might have a chance if they'd only realize that it isn't 1980 anymore.
The "mess Barack Obama inherited" was made up partly of the wild spending (not just on wars - but on domestic programs also) of President Bush, and also of the wild monetary expansion of the Federal Reserve (the Fed being the true cause of the crises of 2008 - see Thomas Woods "Meltdown" and Thomas Sowell's "The Housing Boom and Bust").
President Obama has "dealt with this mess" by INCREASING government spending to levels that even George Bush would not have dreamt of, and by encouraging the Federal Reserve to carry on its credit bubble fiance - refusing to let the market (in housing or anything else) clear.
Without real liquidation of malinvestments (allowing markets to clear) and massive reduction in the size of government (both of these took place in 1921 - and were very effective in dealing the with post World War One bust) no real recovery is possible.
Sadly the policy that is being followed is the expansion of government - the policy followed (contrary to "liberal" mythology) by Herbert Hoover - who expanded government more than any peacetime President before him, and refused to allow markets (especially labor markets) to clear by price and wage ajustment to reality.
As for the idea that higher tax rates would mean more revenue - that is false.
It is no accident that reductions in the higher rates of taxe have always meant more revenue in American history - this was true under Harding and Coolidge (Hoover, of course, increased the higher rates of tax), but also by the Kenneday and Reagan tax reductions.
Charles Gibson of ABC asked Barack Obama (in a live television debate) asked Barack Obama if he would increase Capital Gains tax even if it meant LESS reveune for the government (by choking off investment) - and then Senator Obama said it would (out of "fairness").
In short even Barack Obama admits (sometimes) that the drive to increase tax rates has nothing to do with reducing the deficit, that (in fact) it would make the deficit worse.
The United States has a government spending is too high problem - if had one under wild spending Bush, but Obama has made the problem vastly WORSE. The United States does not have a "taxes are too low" problem.
Also the United States has a vast credit/money bubble distorted capital structure problem - for example a property market that is being propped up (not allowed to clear).
And Barack Obama will do nothing to really reduce government spending (as opposed to "reduce tax expenditures" i.e. increase taxes) or get rid of the bubble economy.
It remains to be seen how serious the new Republican candidates are at dealing with these matters.
If you are going to write articles about our election please be fair and honest and mention Ron Paul who is polling about most of the candidates that were mentioned in the article. In some polls he is in second place and he is still not mentioned. It is hard to take the Economist as a serious credible political news source when they omit the candidate that places number two in current polls and wins many straw polls around the country. Shame on you Economist.
I'm curious why The Economist feels the need to put a picture of Sarah Palin in the mix. She has not declared herself a candidate, and anyone in the know realizes she won't. She is simply an entertainer. Why include her in a photo of potential presidential candidates?
"He (or she) would also come up with a more systematic plan on the spending side. No Republican seems to understand the difference between good spending and bad. Investment in roads and education, for instance, ought not to be lumped in with costly and unreformed entitlements, like Social Security and Medicare. Defence should not be sacrosanct. That Mr Obama has no strategy either is not an excuse."
Road Map for America anyone?
President Obama refuses to understand that his so called "Economic Stimulous" paln, which cost trillions of Dollars, at best, helps stimulate economic activity in China !!.
New Campaign poster
Obama 2012: you're not racist are you?
@ HelathySkepticism - all your comments are about the colour of your presidet's skin. This begs the question "are you racist?"
I would have imagined someone would have thought more "outside the Box", especially here. "Beware the Ides of March" could still be timely advice even for Presidents that plan on running unopposed. Has no one here noticed that the Liberal Democrat Governors of the two largest states have suddenly and against any expectation become fiscal Moderates in almost the same month? One such event is a miracle, two such are a policy. With the economy in a volatile state and voters in an even more volatile one is someone quietly planning for the future?
President Obama is an ignoramus. He knows nothing of economics. He knows how to spend other people's money... that's it.
I can't stand him, honestly. He's the worst President in my 60 years. He can't even speak English properly.
I'm not yet in a position to advocate any form of government. I believe that democracy, whether in pure or adulterated forms, is not viable.
Many words come to mind when I try to describe America (or its government) but "democracy" and "republic" are definitely not among them. A small list: colony (of a different master, or group of masters), kleptocracy, oligarchy, plutocracy, plutarchy, corporate Fascism, ...
Given the direction America is going, "police state" will soon be added to the list.
I don't disagree with you about what should be done. I just don't believe it's realistic.
America has too many systemic problems on too many fronts for far too long to be able to change its course, and do it in time to avoid a chaotic economic implosion.
The U.S. will probably be remembered as one of the short-lived evil empires, along with the former U.S.S.R.
I have no idea what form of government you advocate, or what you believe to be a truer definition of the American system, but either way to quote Churchill "Democracy is the worst form of government except for every other form of government"
And yes I agree with you on the fact that America was initially, at the signing of the constitution, never intended to become a democratic nation. Today it is more than correct to consider the USA as the world's second true modern representative democracy (after the Corsican Republic).
I would however aptly apply your definition "Democrazy" to the modern state of affairs of the American political system; you cannot run a 21st country with a legal framework written 200years ago.
In order to break the political deadlock which has plagued the USA since the end of the cold war, it is necessary to have deep and meaningful reform to election process, for example;
• Longer but fixed terms for congressmen and senators to encourage more long term policymaking rather than the current short term promises designed to ensure re-election
• Stronger political loyalties, to ensure that the elected party is able to pass policy measures without having to fight internal battles to win over party holdouts.
• The abolishment of the current Primaries, instead having candidates chosen from inter-party elections, in order to speed up the process of election, and limit the effect of populist demagogues' (Palin and the tea party).
• Redrawn electorates so that each elected official represents a similar proportion of people
Without reform there is no hope of any party being able to wield the mandate of power effectively enough to pass difficult legislation (tax increases, or spending cuts) without the other party paralysing the process.
America has many severe problems. The most pressing is that too many of our elected officials are professional office holders who've never held a "real job" or started an actual business. They're often following the advice of professional theorists who "teach", but haven't tested their pet theories in the "real world" to observe the consequences.
As we can see with the Weiner affair, the job of a Legislator is not complex, exhaustively time consuming or mentally taxing. Congress is hoodwinking Americans into believing these positions are endeavors requiring sacrifice, full time pay and benefits. Congressional members like to pretend that their most successful activity is passing much needed laws. Although lobbyists write most of the legislation, which is more harmful than good.
The last and most pressing problem is that we are in an age where we actually need a lot less government, not more. Outside of the basic services the government performs (security, stabilizing and building infrastructure) there are a plethora of things they need to get out of immediately, which can be done by downsizing several metastasizing regulatory bodies and administrative departments.
Otherwise, this Leviathan will stay mired in the tar pit of its own making. Whoever is President won't make much of a difference if she or he is unwilling to dismantle the current excesses.
I disagree completely with the Economist that the US could not resolve its deficit and other financial problems by taxing the rich appropiately plus severely reducing military spending. The reason Obama supports labor is that many voters who support him support organize labor. That is the same reason he supported health care reform. I am horrified by the attacks on organize labor by the GOP in Winconsin and else where and think voters need to put a stop to it immediately.
The GOP candidates have scary policies that will help no one in the US, except for a handfull of wealthy people and corporations. We would be out of the current recession if there were more stimulus and better financial help for the States and local governments. Obama has done a great job, but his hands have been tied by GOP obstructionist. There is no factual evidence that austerity is improving any of the economies in Europe and it is not what the US needs. What the US needs is investment by the federal government into infrastructure (ie roads, green energy), States, local government, schools and job creation plus a steep decrease in military spending.Only Obama will bring that. If a GOP candidate is elected we will have depression on our hands very quickly and probably another war and the lost of cherished personal freedoms.
Agree on Obama's vulnerability. However, many points in the article seem a bit off.
I would say "talent" is an issue, almost as if the Republicans are out to provide a conservative mirror to the self-destructiveness of the Democrats circa 1968/1972, when leftists moved into a vacuum left by discredited liberals. The current crop truly appear intent on acting outside the mainstream, past anything Goldwater had vis-a-vis the American public in 1964 (see Nixonland - many who helped LBJ get a landslide seem to also help Nixon get a landslide 8 years later). Seems like an exercise in jackasserie and pandering to really special, whacked out interests.
Then there are questions about the alternatives:
-Jeb Bush - Like, intiguing idea, but not sure the country is ready for another Bush
-Chris Christie - too new, and maybe too late to get an organization
-Mitch Daniels - looked promising; seems out
-Rick Perry - A full blown liability, talking about secession, the huge deficits, etc.
Otherwise, entitlements were reformed - in the 1980s. Not sure why we can't do something similar again without some extremists trying to play out privatizing agendas.
Not sure Obama has honed the tax the rich message yet - the deal last year seem to suggest otherwise. Your own article points out that rates are at their lowest, suggesting that yes, raising taxes may be a very big component to righting fiscal imbalances.
Otherwise, seems like everyone is trying to use the playbook of pretending to be fiscally creative, while really only concerned with tax cuts. I haven't seen any true fiscal conservativism on display, defined as being responsible, presenting credible plans that could produce a meaningful impact, and being realistic in employing a combination of tax increases and spending cuts.

Publishers Weekly06/02/2014
Where most people associate U.S. military special operations with the Navy's SEALS or the Army's Rangers and Green Berets, veteran novelist and military writer Couch (The Warrior Elite) reports on the lesser-known U.S. Marine Corps Special Operations Command. Known as MARSOC and formed early in 2006, the unit was designed to perform four main missions: unconventional warfare, special reconnaissance, direct military action, and what Couch calls "foreign internal defense." Couch, a Naval Academy graduate and former SEAL, starts with a brief history of American military special ops, then hones on the book's mission chronicling a class of 79 Marines who went through the nine-month Individual Training Course at Camp Lejeune that started in November 2012. He details the philosophical and practical underpinnings of the physically rigorous and psychologically challenging course, and offers history of its development along the way. Couch is an unabashed fan of the program and the Marines who have completed it—those "superb young special warriors," he writes, who are performing special operations today in MARSOC units around the globe. This is an excellent, if overtly military-centric, resource for those looking for insight into modern special operations warfare and training. (June)

I don't know about open traverse
how to do open traverse and how to adjust it.
an open traverse starts on one known point and ends on another known point. That you don't know what it is tells me you don't know enough about it to be computing it.
It's a surveying thing.
Use the Force, Luke.........................
Look at the "COGOEditor" tool in Civil 3D 2012 and 2013. It can be used to input the traverse and then adjust it. It can also read a polyline as the initial input. It likes COGO points, but can also work by picking locations in the drawing. There are a number of different options on how to balance the traverse after it is input.

A 1999 made for TV Western about a ruthless band of outlaws that end up in the town of Refuge. At first it seems to be a bandit's dream come true, where even the Sheriff won't use a gun. Of course nothing is as it seems, and it turns out that Refuge is a last chance town for the marginally good to redeem themselves after they die by living peacefully for ten years.

Decent Race Boots

Best Uses
Comments about Gaerne G-RW Road Race Boots:
Good adjustability in the fit and buckling to accommodate my feet, ankles, and calves. The rear entry zipper is nice and fits snugly and this avoids having folded fabric or leather on your calf that would eventually irritate. The fake leather looks cheap, but it seems to hold up well. I've had these boots for 4 years of track riding. The metal toe plates are kind of thin, but they do protect on pavement contact. I've gone down in these boots a couple of times and they have performed well.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

New Girl Review: Hashtag VaGeniusby Lisa Palmer at . Comments
I'll be honest: I haven't been loving New Girl Season 2 as much as I loved New Girl season 1. Until tonight's "Eggs," I mostly watched the show for Schmidt, simply tolerating Jess and the rest of the gang.
But I can easily admit I was thrilled with this episode. it could be because it spoke to me personally since I am a 27-year old single female.
Or, what I really think happened, is that everyone had a storyline I was invested in. Nick is likable when he is trying to do something productive with his life, even if it is writing a zombie novel, where the black guy dies first because it's a staple of the drama. Yes, New Girl. It's these smart lines that keep me coming back. And the fact that Nick can't spell "rhythm." And a Downton Abbey reference! Could I be any more smitten with the lines tonight?
Minimal Winston, unless he has an individual story that is absolutely worth screen time? Check. And while I'm on Winston, how about bringing back Shelby, who gave him some interesting screen time? Do something with Winston that makes me like him, please! One of the only times he really made me laugh was in Season 1 when he was singing Wicked while unknowingly driving Schmidt and Cece to the Mexican border.
Perhaps I liked this one because Jess and Cece were paired off and it was less about Nick and Jess transparently careening toward one another. I've never been a big Nick and Jess supporter, mostly because I still have trouble understanding Nick and where he's coming from. Plus, their screaming fights - that are supposed to speak to their passion for one another - just seem like easily avoidable and annoyingly loud arguments over nothing.
But tonight was about our biological clocks ticking. And while I resent that women sometimes feel forced into worrying about their fertility, it is real to me. This is a time where women are getting married later and later, which is great. It's socially acceptable to get hitched at a later age, date well into your 20's and maybe into your 30's.
So concern about having kids at a time when we're fertile? Valid. Especially when your friend gynecologist comes over and tells you that at age 30, your egg count drops 90 percent. Which by the way, better be true. It's not cool to throw statistics like that into the universe. Especially on FOX.
But the real heroes of tonight's episode? Definitely Cece and Schmidt. It takes another woman to educate Schmidt about enjoying sex more with someone you love. Ding, ding, ding! It finally dawns on him that he was, in fact, in love with Cece. And by the way, Schmidt's metaphorical diatribe on sex was perfection. A few things he mentioned along the way: sharing circle, spiking the volleyball, going under a bridge, meeting a troll and dancing til he can't dance anymore.
It seems the stars are aligning since it doesn't look like things are going to last much longer for Cece and her boyfriend Rob. When she asks him about having kids, he says he wants them maybe in 10 years are so. Poor Cece! She's basically living out one of my nightmares.
What happens when you're on a clock to have children, but you're either A) single, B) with someone who doesn't want kids, or C) with someone great, but does not want kids immediately. These options could go on for awhile.
I'll be curious to see what Cece decides to do because it does appear that she wants children. We just need to find out what Schmidt wants. Maybe we should ask a VaGenius.
Well done this week, New Girl.
I agree this season has been spotty at best. I learned to dislike both Nick and Jess for being such shallow selfish people. (And there is no way anyone could hate Season 1 Jess). Nick just is pathetic, even this year when he "completed" one thing it was a grade school. How can thw writers allow his character to show no progress, we know everyone is in their 30s and should be nudging toward maturity. Yikes, I love Schmidt and CeCe, no excuses there.
@Kay and @really now: We aim to bring you reviews of every new episode of every show on television, but it was my fault we failed in this case and missed the Thanksgiving episode.
It will not happen again.
i loved Winston's reading of Z is for Zombie
It was watchable, and i too am starting to worry about my ticking clock. but anyways enough coffee time n more reviewing. i liked everyone's role in this episode and it had a season one feel, which i liked. nothing much to say but when are jess and nick getting together or having a hook up, drunk preferably. cece and schmidt reuniting and winston and shelby?
I liked this episode to but I didnt get to see all of it because I was doing a paper. I dont see nither Jess or Cece being parents I see them being single and dying alone.
im enjoying season 2 more than season 1..
i liked this episode because EVERYONE was great. not just Nick or Schmidt
yeah...what did happen to the thanksgiving episode
um... what happened to the thanksgiving episode?

Blists Hill Victorian Town was opened in 1973, and has been slowly growing ever since. The museum's buildings fall into one of three categories: buildings that were already part of the industrial site (e.g. the brickworks); buildings that simply represent a generic type (e.g. the sweet shop), some adaptively reusing existing premises on site or being replicas of those still standing elsewhere; and original buildings that have been relocated to the museum such as this school which was originally in Stirchley, Birmingham.
Stirchley Board School, originally built in 1881, was dismantled, transported and re-erected brick by brick. It reopened as an exhibit 1992.
Children can dress up in the style of the day and experience what it would have been like to be at school in Victorian times including threats of violence, lots of getting shouted at and being humiliated and frightened by the teachers.
It looked like great fun.

One million volts into the earth
Emerging from the ground they've come for you
Nowhere to hide what can you do?
The worms
The crave the human flesh it's what they eat
Carnivorous maggots like their meat
You've come to realize this must be
The end of all humanity
The worms
The horror

"The invitations I ordered were perfect and exactly what I wanted....and they were delivered so quickly! Would use again in the future!"
"The invitations were adorable, great quality and were delivered quickly but I was shocked that envelopes were not included! I had to go to office depot to buy envelopes to mail them and couldn't find the exact size--the invitation was slightly wider than a standard invitation envelope--so I was disappointed in that."
"I loved the 1920's/Gatsby design but needed it to be for my Roaring 25th Birthday -- the Design Team really can make the card unique and beautiful FOR YOU. I went full Gatsby with the Pearl paper, Ticket trim, AND Antique Gold envelopes with the matching Address Labels!"

people Love of history and mythology made Rajiv G. Menon a writer
In this day and age of myths, when readers compare notes on the different versions of the Mahabharata and the Ramayana , actor turned screen writer and now author Rajiv G.Menon has chosen to write about a relatively untouched subject in Indian mythology: the origins of the devas led by Indra, the rakshasas and the clash between them.
"I wanted to write a book on Indian mythology. I was wondering where to start because our mythology is so voluminous. But Indra as a character, fascinated me because in spite of being a god, it is his weaknesses that are highlighted. The kind of characters I like are those who are tormented and with doomed destines, like Dante," says Rajiv, who is set to launch his debut novel Thundergod – The Ascendance of Indra . Though he is a mechanical engineer, Rajiv began acting in 1996, debuting in the bi-lingual film Devaragam . He continued to act through the decade, appearing in films like Aaha (Tamil), The King And The Commisioner (Malayalam) and Bas Yun Hi (Hindi).
"When I started, it was exciting. I worked with some really good directors who introduced me to different facets of filmmaking. But after a while I found it restricting because I reached a stage where I was not getting the kind of films I wanted to do," he recalls. "I didn't want to do it after a point. And then I began writing in my free time. "
Rajiv then began writing screenplays for films such as Woodstock Villa and Soundtrack . In fact, he first conceptualized his novel as a screenplay.
"But somewhere in the process of my research, I discovered that I had a lot more to say than what could fit into a film. It would have been hard to get my idea across if I was to collaborate, so I decided to write a book."
Thundergod – The Ascendance of Indra is the story of the son of Earth goddess Gaia and the chief of the Deva tribe Daeyus who is guided by the warrior-sage Mitra to his destiny of conquering the kingdoms of the world. It is the first of a trilogy.
"History is almost always one-sided. So I have tried to write from a neutral observer's point of view by first writing about Indra and the devas and then about the rakshasas in my second book. My third book will be about the clash between two cultures. " Rajeev does not place his story at a particular time and place in history, neither does he validate the historical accuracy of his book. And he does not question those who believe that the events described in Indian mythology actually took place.
"Is history itself accurate? Most timelines that historians have given us have been proven wrong. History has often been based on assumptions. I leave it to the readers to decide whether they want to authenticate my story or call it a work of fiction."
According to Rajeev, "Research is difficult because there is very little about the origins of Indra in Indian mythology." He says that Indian mythology overlaps with parts of Sumerian and Persian mythology. So I had to look for accounts which appear in Sumerian and Persian myths. The character I was writing about had his roots in those regions."
God theories
"I think myths come out of people and their perceptions of their surroundings and the universe. This is why there are gods like Indra, Thor or Zeus who are three gods from different mythologies with similar powers," he says, citing the example of Joeshph Cambell's Hero Of A Thousand Faces. " The author connects mythologies and shows you the commonality of myths around the world."
Though Rajiv's stories and characters are inspired by the myths, he has told the stories the way he hears it in his head. "Somewhere along the way, writing these stories has changed the way I live my life. I used to live in a city, now I try and stay as close to nature as possible. When you are writing about people who lived about 10000 years ago, you need to put yourself in that space."
Luckily, he observes, India offers plenty of such spaces. "India is a place that has that vibe, spirituality is in the air. And I enjoy the whole process. I think it's what I'm meant to do, tell stories."

Novato, Californ...
Colette Patterns, Parfait: A versatile dress designed to be worn as either a sun dress or layered over a shirt or blouse as a pinafore style in cooler weather. Features a gathered bust and flattering curved midriff that fits snugly around the high waist. The straps and gathered pockets fasten with buttons. Skirt is a gently flared six-gore style. Closes with a side invisible zipper.
I love that this dress is a modern pattern but totally appeals to my vintage sensibilities. I also love that the design includes interesting style lines and is not overly simplified.
After working on my muslin version, I knew adding 2" to the skirt length and 1/2" to the lower edge of the midriff bands would be sufficient.
The fabric is rather bulky and I did not think that layered straps and buttonholes were going to work, so I omitted them. I also omitted the pockets; I really love their design, but did not think they worked with the fabric/the look I was going for.
I am very pleased with my second "Parfait" and may eventually have to make a maxi dress out of the pattern . . . and those pockets are calling out to me, so another version may happen sooner than expected.
As always, more pictures and info may be found on my blog, Lilacs & Lace.
Specifics on the matching capelet may be found here.

Sarasota Bradenton International Airport Employs Telos ID Designated Aviation Channeling Service For Employee Screening And Badging
Telos Identity Management Solutions, LLC ( Telos® ID) has been selected by Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority to provide Designated Aviation Channeling (DAC) services for processing employee and contractor security threat assessments and criminal history records checks at Sarasota Bradenton International Airport.
Sarasota Bradenton International serves over 1.2 million passengers a year traveling to and from the southwest Gulf coast of Florida. Major airlines provide daily scheduled domestic service, as do seasonal international and domestic charter carriers.
"SRQ takes great pride in its convenient, comfortable, secure and stress-free atmosphere," said Mark Griffin, president of Telos ID. "By augmenting their badging operations with greater efficiency and flexibility, Telos ID DAC enhances their ability to deliver on that promise not just to passengers, but to airlines and tenant services as well."
Telos ID is one of three vendors selected by the Transportation Security Administration to provide airports and airlines with aviation channeling services, and is the first vendor to be certified under the agreement announced by TSA in 2011.Airports and air carriers use aviation channeling services to submit employee information to TSA so the agency can conduct background checks to identify those with disqualifying criminal histories or who may present a known or potential terrorist threat. TSA requires threat assessments to be conducted for all airport, airline and other tenant employees with access to the restricted areas of an airport, including its own employees, baggage handlers, ground maintenance providers, and restaurant and retail employees. Telos ID's DAC offering lets aviation-related employers more efficiently run their background check and badging operations. It meets TSA and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations for handling personally identifiable information, and as a Web-based solution, it allows users to securely access the system wherever they have an Internet connection. Telos ID also provides additional customer service options and more visibility and flexibility for its customers.

This strip is well sealed and tough. I love the mix of colors and the red is a deep-red, not like some other strips and RGBs. The panel is fun to use - I created a camping light.

Very bright light, really solid construction. These things are really awesome. The red light is quite a bit dimmer than the red and blue.

This LED strip is quite bright. From DealExtreme these are way cheaper than anywhere in Australia. Cheapest I could find was around $40 for a even shorter one.

The strip looks very nice. It has a smooth epoxy covering the resistors and the LEDs. I have only ordered one and it came undamaged. I plan on ordering a few more soon.
