its beautiful
Only way to describe it
Only Jay Elec would rap over the babel score and make it even more beautiful. Incredible.
Decent for an interlude... Now follow up with a project
dude needs to quit bullshitting and start dropping singles for the album
Agreed it does sound like an interlude, which speaks to his ability as an artist that a dope track can be an interlude
I love this joint though now Jay Electronica lets hear your album
Sounds good but im not falling for this shit again
Then he drop an album tomorrow and breaks the internet
new rules again?
Remember two years ago when he leaked that track list and everyone freaked out thining the album was comming two year later nothing... This is the Chinese Democracy of hip hop well wait for it for 8 yrs and it will drop and nobody will care
"Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts. The first part is called "The Pledge". The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course... it probably isn't. The second act is called "The Turn". The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn't clap yet. Because making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back. That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call "The Prestige"."
Mind F*ck. Ha
Only thing is Jay Elec aint a magician. To be a great artist you gotta actually put out music. Thats just the way it is. Building a buzz and then letting it die several times over the course of years isnt a dope magic trick at all. If this was some kinda trick he was pulling it wouldn't make the culture any better off. In fact it would just continue to piss people off. Just put out the music and save the magic tricks for kids under ten at circus shows and carnivals.
He's proving a point. Jay Z is obviously behind him. He created a tremendous amount of buzz off of one project in 2007. It's 2014 and you are still trolling his posts telling these people that it is never going to happen. Though you know it is. And when it drops you know you are going to cop it too. He's changing the rules to dropping an album just like Jay last year, Beyonce did last year, Em did last year and I would even say the Mac Miller, Ye and Cole date was no coincidence. Its hard to sell albums these days unless you have a fan base. This man has one.
I have never once said "its never gonna happen" fool. If waiting 7 years to drop one album is his way "of proving a point" then imo thats not a good way to do it. Putting out music is probably a better way to do that. Your talking about his fan base? Well Jay Elec been had a fan base for years now and making people wait years for the album isn't what Id call magic at all. Of course Im gonna get the album when it comes out, I been saying im looking forward to the album for years now but the fact that years have gon by and the culture as a whole has been dominated by Drake in the absence of Jay Elec is not some planned magic trick imo. Making people wait years and years for an obviously extraordinary album doesn't prove any point, it just pisses people off and dumbs down the culture in the process.
Since Jay Elec put out Eternal Sunshine in 2007, Jay Z has done 4 albums an put up platinum plaques in the double digits from American Gangster to MCHG.... Im not saying Jay Elec has to compete with that. Im saying after 7 years now, it be nice to finally get 1 album. Save the magic bullshit for somebody else and put out the damn album. I believe Act 2 would instantly be album of the year and in 2014 be the equivalent of Illmatic in 1994... So lets go already !!!
Has nothing to do with Magic or Music. It has nothing to do with you or me either. The fact that he has created all this expectation shows thats al that you need. If you don't catch the reference it has nothing to do with Jay either. It people like you that think they are entitled to something. This man owes you nothing. Get over yourself.
I never said the man owes me anything. The simple fact is that Jay Elec has been saying for years that there is an album and he's gonna release it. Im saying ok then do it. So how I'm I in the wrong? A nigga syas he's gonna do something and then people like ok then do it then period. And NO, expectation is not all you need, you also need music. The fact that he still has your pussy wet after years of anticipation implies that you also expect some kinda music to come through so therefore you should understand the very simple point im making. The nigga dont owe me shit personally but if you gonna front for years like you gonna release and album then fucking do it. The hype and no delivery on a product is good enough for you but not me.
Reread that to yourself and tell me again that you don't think he owes you something. At this point nothing he does with be "good enough" for you. He is releasing music and doing it his way it has nothing to do with whether I think he has released enough music or not. That's not up to me, You gotta be a realist. The Hype and no deliver has worked for 7 years and you are still trolling so how can you say its not good enough. He still got your attention whether you're "wet" or not, Jay is getting it in.
You talk as if not releasing an album is better then releasing one. Building as buzz and not delivery is not a good strategy no matter how many times you wanna make yourself believe that. The hype and no delivery has worked but only because Jayz name is involved and because people are pissed off. Having the people's attention is not the end all be all especially when people start look at the artist like a failure for not delivering in half a decade. Wack rappers have the peoples attention to so that dont make they shit dope. I hope Jay Elec drops an album like the last small group of people who actually give a fuck but building a buzz and not delivering in years is only a good thing to an idiot. Drake delivered almost immediately after he built a buzz and that makes alot more sense. Having people's attention is not enough especially when people start giving that artists negative attention and saying shit like "im not gonna get my hopes high for this fuknigga"...
Hahaha You are definitely a fb. Drake is not all that is hiphop. Nor is he real hiphop culture in anyway. He's buzzing off of 14 and 15 year old girls and he will tell you that. He has bars I'm not saying that. But you just became a Drake fb enjoy that. This conversation no longer holds any value because of that comparison. Thank you for wasting my time.
When I mentioned Drake I wasn't making a comparison musically stupidass. I mentioned Drake cause he's the furthest from Jay Electronica, making him the opposite side of the coin. Jay Elec has sold no records, he has nothing on the boards in all these years except Exhibit C and a buzz that slowly is pissing people off. Meanwhile Drake came out after Jay Elec and is now working on his 4th album, is worth a 100 million dollars and has the most number one records in Hip Hop culture. You said Drake aint hip hop but then said he has bars. MY point is he actually puts out product where as Jay Elec puts out 1 or two songs a year the last couple years. Currensy, Wiz, Big Sean, Kendrick, Mac Miller etc... All came out after Jay Elec and have shitted on his buzz consistently every year since they been out. Jay Elec might have buzz but he still has nothing official after all these years. There is little you can argue here dumbass. Having peoples attention is not enough because at some point people are gonna become not interested and for the most part people are already there when it comes to Jay Elec. Cut the bullshit about magic tricks and having peoples attention. PUT OUT A FUCKING ALBUM ALREADY !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Buzz and no album for more then half a decade is only a good thing to a fukboy like YOU.
Giving me goosebumps n shit
@JayElectronica had a shrink when he was 8 cause he had delusions of grandeur "It was always that I was just living unrealistic in my head"
Yeah seems unrealistic to me. You just spent time to read this whole post… And you are still trolling. You know he'll sell 100k + records when he drops and you'll buy it. It doesn't master if you like how he did it or not. "he made it"
He's clearly taking his time on the project. That's why his music sounds like THIS. Listen to the lyrics, the meaning, the depth. Nobody is putting this much thought into their bars. I'm not saying I want a full LP of this style of rap, but I don't understand how you can listen to this and then say anything negative towards Jay. The man is on a journey that most of us will never fathom.
taking his time you know how long we been waiting for this. YEARS and I mean YEARS!!!
Trust me bruh, I've been waiting too. Just as long as you but maybe Jay is waiting on something.
"It's frustrating when you just can't express yourself"
I understand taking your time but going on 5 and 6 years and shit? Thats when its like damn son, that maybe too long. Sometimes a short burst of inspiration can produce better music in a few sessions then trying to strategize for years over one project. If he woulda dropped and album during that Exhibit C hype? That shit woulda been a crazy level of reaction from the culture. Im still longing forward to the album of course but the thrill is almost gone completely at this point. Id still appreciate the music but at this point its like I've listened to Jay Elec so many times over the years its like I already heard his album even though I haven't. I hope 2014 is the year it finally sees the light though.
lOOKing forward...
Feel you 100%. Although some of these songs are timeless, we do need a full body of work to assess him as an artist overall.
Truth. That was his moment too shine. I just get the feeling what's taking him so long has absolutely nothing to do with music.
I hope this is the year it drops though. The world needs to hear it!
Its all good but its just natural to get tired of waiting. Just sayin
Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice...
can't rush greatness
back to the eternal sunshine style jay elect rapping over movie scores
"no drums, no hook, just new shit"
My dude Alex freaked this track better a year ago on Tower off his Soundtrax album on bandcamp...listen and compare
Great, now he can tease us and get our hopes up for nothing again
The instant I saw this post, I was like OH SHIT! Lol. Now gimme that album mofo!
i think ya'll missed the point of including that speech at the beginning "that he go and he visits the people and he leaves the people and goes away and waits 'til the time when he can seclude again. Then he returns to the people that he had made, himself, a manifest." Maybe that's over some of yall heads tho
no I got it. he's a wizard with his bars
pretentious ass nigga we get it
Should have put it out on April 01
Like I'm quitting rap.
I'm Yeezus.
Funny, yesterday I was typing his name in the 2dopeboyz search bar to see if I missed any new shit from him. I been waiting for an album since 09 and i'm sure a lot of people been waiting even longer. The wait is frustrating but if Act II ever sees the light of day my money says it's gonna be amazing. I don't think anyone else in hip hop is capable of making the kind of music Jay makes, it transcends the genre.
Planet Asia been making the same kinda music for more then a decade but Jay is just more visible in a commercial sense.
Fair enough, I'll try listening to some of his stuff. Any recommendations? I'm sure there's lots of people that make music with similar themes (Killah Priest) but I've never heard anyone else that speaks to my soul like Jay.
There are more then a few MCs who have touched on the same kinda elements as Jay Elec and have the same kinda vocabulary and mentality in their music. Planet Asia is one I named with a similar wording and lyrical approach as Jay Elec. However Planet Asia has his differences as well. Id say Jay Elec tends to be a little more darker and his heavy voice and sometimes slow methodical delivery is what makes it sound a little more mysterious. My first point was just meant to imply that Jay Elec is a continuation of elements that have always been present in Hip Hop from Rakim, to Nas and AZ to Wu Tang to Planet Asia... Not to take anything away from him cause anyone should be able to realize why Hip Hop in 2014 desperately needs Patents Of Nobility. I was just making the point that there has been others like him that have come through already.
I see the comparison in subject matter with the guys you named. But like I said his music hits my soul in a deeper way than Nas or AZ who are both two of the all time greatest. He's just very unique in his subject matter, voice, flow, persona, beat selection, everything.
He's dope. Nas dope? I dont know about that but he's dope though.
When I heard I Gave You Power back in the day and If I Ruled The World etc... That shit was like a door opened in my mind which those songs were the keys. If Jay Elec got some shit like that on the album then ok but we'll have to see.
LMAO. Planet Asia isn't even on the same planet (no pun intended). Super dope MC, but nothing like Jay.
No they definitely of the same cloth. Planet Asia put out the song Light Beams a couple weeks ago and he been rapping that way for years now. I dont know how you can listen to these two and not hear the obvious similarity.
Not the same but similar... The basic choice of words and how those certain symbolic words are used in the same context between the two MCs is evidence enough of that similarity.
this is better tbh. even though most this nigga's music sucks
What a treat.
I don't get the hype on this guy. He puts out one song a year. What is he 3 stacks? What has he done to deserve any form of credibility. Dude doesn't even have a fucking mixtape.
do your research he does have a mixtape
3 Stacks only solo album in his whole career was a R&B pop album. Jay Elec has a few albums worth of RAP music out already. So his hype is built off skills that have been proven to a substantial degree already. The only thing missing is a project being stamped with a barcode and put in stores as a full body of work but he has music out right now.
Did you just imply that Jay Electronica has proven himself more than Andre 3000 because he has more solo rap songs? If you're going to compare tracks that weren't on official solo albums then maybe you should count the MULTIPLE classic albums that Andre was responsible for. You know, actual albums that were released to the public, not one song at a time every 15 months.
No I did not imply Jay Elec had proven himself MORE... I said he proven himself period. Now Andre 3k has 1 album right? So I dont know what the confusion is here. He has one album which was mostly singing right? Ok then. If you wanna count the work he did under OutKast then cool but Outkast is a group of 2 people so anything under that group, Big Boi is equally responsible for. Comparing two people against one person musically is not really a fair comparison. On an MC level, I do not think Andre is a better MC then Jay Electronica. If anything their on the same level but I can not say 3 Stacks is better because again as solo artists Jay has yet to put out a solo album in the last 6 years he been known of in hip hop and Andre only has 1 album in the last decade he been a solo artist and that album was a R&B pop album not a Hip Hop album.
I do not understand why hip-hop heads hold Andre to a high standard, Big Boi was the MC of the group and barely gets recognition. Andre was a singer, if you want to hype up a singer in hip-hop, learn you're roots and hop on that Gil-Scott Heron the progenitor of the genre.
Andre was the better MC in Outkast but Big Boi was the relatable one. I get the hype on Andre but im not gonna act like 1 pop album in the last decade makes him king shit in hip hop.
That is your opinion, mine was Big Boi, because he was an actual MC not a singer people in the last recent years are have been d-riding.
damn I had to play this back about 5 times
Remember this was on that supposed Tracklist from like a couple of years ago for Act II. But does that mean anything nope. Just like the rest of you all I have been waiting on this since I became a big Jay Elec fan after Exhibit A. Then that Just Blaze tony touch time made us think Act II was coming and how many years ago was that now. His album will drop the same day we all find the missing note
You can't go against the God.
This moved me to tears the first time I heard it, I firmly believe this dude has some sort of mystic quality when he makes a track, shit is other worldly
Are y'all listening doe!? Are y'all listening!? He's telling y'all why he has stepped away, what his agenda is. Be patient , pray, be ready.
He is too good. Wish he released shit more frequently then every 50 years it feels like.
Go away nigga. You missed ya shot.
The album was supposed to drop New Years 2009, no? I understand shit getting pushed back, but how does something go from being basically done to being pushed back this long?? Either Jay-Z won't let it drop because of a lack of a commercial single (which would never work for him), or he's gone back to the drawing board WAY too many times. this is getting detox-y.
It's funny you say that. There is an interview Questlove did and said Jay's album had been finished, and it was Jay-Z's favorite album of 2012, but there was no singles on it at all. He said Jay asked for some singles and now we are waiting. It sucks that this is about business, cause I would love to hear more.
Questlove also said that Jay specifically tells some artists that he does not need a single for the album. When The Roots were on Def Jam Jay told them he did not need a single from them because on Game Theory and Rising Down he felt those albums were dope just the way they were. On WTT Jay also said he had no focus on a single, he was focused on the music sounding good period. I highly doubt Jay asked Jay Elec for a single especially when one of his main mottos as an artists is "dont chase radio"... He been saying that for years now. The reason he has singles as an artist is because the songs are just good not because he said hey this and that is the single.
And also the label taking the risk here with Jay Electronica is Roc Nation. The tracklist to the album is already done (it may have changed though), judging by the titles it would seem that whatever is on the album is there because Jay Elec wanted it to be there, not because he was told to do it.
He did ask J Cole for a single and I think that was the right thing to do in his case because Cole leans more in a commercial lane. Jay Elec is something completely different and Hov knows that.
yeah, I remember that interview. But the people don't want a "commercial" song from Jay Electronica. and that's not a knock to more commercial-style hip-hop either, It's just what's considered a "traditional" single for Jay Electronica is not going to go over well with fans, who are the ones most likely to buy his album. Obviously, he's never going to do a club banger, but I'm guessing that Jay is trying to get him to reach that middle-ground, like how Common handles a lot of his singles.
Jay Electronica put out Hard To Get himself before he had any buzz and before both Exhibits. It was a radio song and it made it to radio in several different markets. I dont believe Jay Elec cares about whats commercial or underground. He probably views it all as music. I dont think he cares what the fans think either. He cares what he thinks and everybody else can think whatever. I doubt Jayz would tell another artists what to do because Jayz is an artist himself. He probably says do whats most comfortable for you and we can work with that. As for an artists making a radio single? Only in hip hop is that looked at as a negative thing but I think for a true artist, making a song that gets played in a commercial market should be looked at as a good thing. Jayz never had to sacrifice artistic integrity for radio. All his radio songs are just a extension of what he is as an artist. Even on his radio songs, he's still a hustla and he still has dope lyrics. Jay Elec doesn't have to change anything to get played on the radio. He could make another Exhibit and that would work just fine on an =y commercial station. If not then nobody cares. Radio singles dont make or break anybody on Roc Nation.
@YeDaTruth, I take that back. When Hard To Get came out Jay Elec did already have a buzz with the underground heads but the reason why I bring up that particular song is because one day I heard it on the radio and it fit perfectly with all the other radio bullshit and Jay Elec was still rapping in his style. So I say that to say yes I believe if Jay wanted to play the radio game (or not) or even both, he could do so and the music would not have to change at all. The thing about Jay Elec is nobody expects a single from him so whether he has one or not he still has the same level of interest. So he could use that to his advantage if he wanted... Or Not
When people say Jay Elec cant do this or cant do that as far as in a mainstream commercial sense? Thats a mental block people put on him. The truth is Jay Elec can do anything he choses to do in a song and im sure he would still sound the same way. There has been many hardcore purest songs that have made it to radio and done well as singles in hip hop.
We may get an album , he's been on what like 3 tracks within a year, but i'm not holding my breathe.
wow... this is fucking amazing
This is great! I feel like this could be a great intro to his project!! If it ever comes out. I'm not even sweating it tho. I stopped waiting for his project a long time ago. He kept teasing us with tracklists, saying it's done but he's waitin on a Nas feature, saying that his first single will be out featuring Chris Brown. I just wish these things would happen. But whenever the project does happen I know it'll be great!
Dope song. I remember this being one of the songs on the tracklist he released a millennium ago.
About time.
do you all think your opinion affect his point of view of what he's doing?! DO NOT THINK SO
idk who jay electronico is...probably not gonna find out either
oh yeah! he had that verse on control pfff duh! lol
Dope. But we need more from Elec.
This shit more waited on than the return of Jesus of Nazereth
Don't know bout all that.
This dude just posted "Sense of humor<" on his twitter. I know it.
Just had to say somethin huh? Lol just couldn't keep scrolling
beware the ides of march
I never forgot
Man!! What is it about jay electronica that makes me repeat this track over and over,, beautiful music here and the perfect intro to his album, he got me hyped again for this album, dont let the fans down jay Electronica..
can anyone of you fine gentlemen direct me to a any and all Jay Elec projects (mixtapes, albums) anything so i can catch up on him. everywhere i go its some random complilation of his stuff. i want official projects, i heard Exhibut A and C and other stuff but i want the full package. thanks guys
this is Jay's catalog in its entirety up until May of 2013
the greatest to never do it
The laziest rapper is back. Dude has talent, but he has been putting dates out for Act 2 since 2010. It will probably come out the same day as Dre.'s Detox.
Dope song. Just need the full album now.
Am I the only that finds the random claps throughout the song strange and unnecessary?
Daym, Jay never fails me for deep lyrics. YA BEAST
I will never trip over the wait for his new project, because I'm confident it will be worth it.
The Prestige
What if Jay Electronica is actually God?

Dear Jimmy,
Thank you for the contribution.
Translation seems buggy, at least it doesn't work at all for me. I've been using a
[ 1 0 0 dx;
0 1 0 dy;
0 0 1 dz;
0 0 0 1;]
The input and output volume are pretty much the same.
Dear Björn
Thank you for the implementation.
I believe there is a bug in the line 81, should be
I_internal = I([ones(1,ceil((regsize(1)-1)/2)) 1:end size(I,1)*ones(1,(regsize(1)-1)/2)],...
[ones(1,ceil((regsize(2)-1)/2)) 1:end size(I,2)*ones(1,(regsize(2)-1)/2)]);

Nicer than my mattress!
Ashley from Selma, CA– Verified Buyer
Really well made and nice mattress, with a little (not too much) weight to it. Unlike most flimsy and cheap crib mattresses, this one has some weight to it and looks like it's going to last us. My little Mr. isn't hear yet, so I can't speak for sound sleeping on it, but it is very nice. It's sturdy and built to last. I would definitely recommend this to any other mommies or mommy-to-be's who want something that will last through the first few years.
Great Product
Karin from Toms River, NJ– Verified Buyer
We were considering an all organic mattress for the baby but after long and extensive research decided to get the Sealy Posturepedic Crib Mattress. In the long run this mattress will be more practical and easier to take care of. The plastic smell went away after a few days and we are very satisfied with the purchase.
Wonderful mattress
Mia from Pensacola, FL– Verified Buyer
I personally did not use this but gave it as a gift. The mother did inform me that she loved the mattress and that her baby seemed very comfy sleeping on it. She felt the firmness and it's construction were exactly what she had wanted. I'm sorry I can't offer any more information but I hope this helps in your decision making.
Just what we were looking for!
Megan from Arnolds Park, IA– Verified Buyer
This mattress is great. Our little man is expected to arrive on December 1st, and I believe this mattress will be prefect for him. I have heard many great things about the Sealy brand, and this Posturepedic mattress.
good mattress
Hamesh from East Brunswick, NJ– Verified Buyer
I bought this mattress for my 2 months old daughter. Mattress is quite firm and made up of good quality.
great mattress
Jelena from Brooklyn, NY– Verified Buyer
Bought second one for my second child. The mattress is durable, easy to clean, holds its shape, strong stitches. Kids sleep on it, jump on it... no problem.
Posturpedic crib matress
Lynda from Sterling Heights, MI– Verified Buyer
I purchased this mattress for our pack and play which we use for naps when our grandchildren visit. It is a perfect size to fit most standard portable cribs/pack and plays but much thicker and, therefore, more comfortable.
Sealy Baby Mattress
HT from CA– Verified Buyer
Good quality mattress, sized to fit a standard crib. We haven't used the mattress yet; but seams like it has the perfect firmness for a baby.
Sealy crib mattress
Laurie from Grand Forks, ND– Verified Buyer
I read lots of reviews before ordering this crib mattress. I needed a good mattress at a moderate price and this fits the bill. Baby isn't here yet, but we are ready...
Jeannie from Chesapeake, VA– Verified Buyer
Have not used the mattress yet since our little one is not here but came in the mail quickly and seems very firm but yet soft.
About the ManufacturerIn the small town of Sealy, Texas just outside of Houston, a cotton gin builder and operator by the name of Daniel Haynes responded to a request from a neighbor and built a cotton - filled mattress in 1881. The product was so favorably received that Daniel Haynes began receiving more and more requests from neighbors and relatives. Encouraged by the response, Haynes invented a machine that compressed cotton for use in mattresses and received a patent for his invention in 1889. The acceptance for the product grew beyond the local area in Texas and began to be referred to by customers in other regions of the country as the "mattress from Sealy."

Then slowly but surely the WS made their way back and it was 2-3 Seattle when Wise hit a HR to tie. WS went on to score 2 more times and hold of Seattle for their 5th win in a row. I was hoping the Tigers would have dropped the soap and let us go up 3 1/2 games but alas they found away to stay within 2 1/2.
Something is going to have to break soon, one of these teams is going to lose it and drop out of contention.
I wonder if that was why Ventura decided to stick up for his guy (AJ) and get kicked out with him. I figured it was a great time to spark the club and remind them that the Tigers are still hot on their heals.

How To Remote Control Other Computers?
Posted by pradeep as Tech Tips
Sound interesting? Do you want to control other computer from your computer?
Yes you can do it and it is very easy. This is very useful for banks, schools etc. And you can easily see what other peoples are doing in other computers live !
- You need a computer.
- You need Wide area network(Internet) in your computer.
- You need a software.
- You need both computers online.
You need to download software in both computer named Teamviewer. You can download it from http://teamviewer.com. Install it in both computers. After successful installation you can signup. Suppose you are away from home and you want to track your home pc. You need teamviewer installed. In your teamviewer account you can add other accounts and have access to them. Add home pc account to your account and you can access it. Remember not to forget the password. After you successfully connected new screen will pop up. That will show you the screen of home pc. Now you can use it and do anything inside it. You can see what other people is doing in that computer.
Hope it helped you. This is really interesting thing to do and fool your friends acting like some magical performance. LOL.

Nazi-Style Denunciation Campaign Urges Americans To Report Each Other
Posted By admin On August 6, 2009 @ 9:17 am In Featured Stories,News In Focus,Paul Watson Articles | Comments Disabled
WeTip program offers cash rewards for anonymous tips about guns, child abuse and suspicious behavior
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com [1]
Thursday, August 6, 2009
A privately-run informant program operating nationwide encourages Americans to anonymously turn each other in to the authorities for cash rewards in a chilling echo of the Nazi "denunciations" of 1930′s Germany, where neighbors would grass their neighbors up to the local Gestapo officer over petty issues.
The WeTip organization takes anonymous tips online or via toll free phone lines and carries the creepy slogan "For A Safer America!" on its website [2] beneath an image of a U.S. flag.
The group forwards tips given by the public to law enforcement authorities across the country, with no jurisdictional borders.
An Orwellian poster being plastered up across American towns and cities as part of a campaign run by the organization reads, "ILLEGAL ACTIVITY IS NOT TOLERATED" and advises citizens to "turn them in" and receive a reward of up to $1000. Things to "turn them in" for include drug dealing and theft, but more vague examples such as "threats and intimidation" as well as "weapons" and "gang activity" are listed, as is "child abuse".
Is the presence of a "weapon" in and of itself evidence of a crime in a country where citizens have the legal right to own firearms? Will your neighbor be turning you in if he sees you loading your car with a rifle on your way to the shooting range? What about "child abuse"? Will your friendly local spy be informing the authorities when he sees you disciplining your child?
What else constitutes suspicious activity? According to law enforcement and Homeland Security guidelines [3], suspicious behavior includes owning guns, being politically active, and having bumper stickers on your car.
The WeTip organization also offers a training institute for schools, businesses and government employees, presumably providing skills courses on how to become an expert domestic spy, just like in Communist East Germany.
WeTip also claims in its promotional material [4] that it has been endorsed by both Bush presidents, as well as Bill Clinton and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Deliciously ironic therefore it is that Arnie starred in the 1987 movie The Running Man, a futuristic portrayal of a wacky dictatorship where citizens are reminded by huge TV screens placed on street corners that they can "earn a double bonus for reporting on a family member!"
As America sinks into a military police state, it begins to parallel more and more aspects of Nazi Germany, especially in the context of citizens being turned against each other, which in turn creates a climate of fear and the constraining sense that one is always being watched.
One common misconception about Nazi Germany was that the police state was solely a creation of the authorities and that the citizens were merely victims. On the contrary, Gestapo files show that 80% of all Gestapo investigations were started in response to information provided by denunciations by "ordinary" Germans.
"There were relatively few secret police, and most were just processing the information coming in. I had found a shocking fact. It wasn't the secret police who were doing this wide-scale surveillance and hiding on every street corner. It was the ordinary German people who were informing on their neighbors," wrote Robert Gellately of Florida State University. [5]
Gellately discovered that the people who informed on their neighbors were motivated primarily by banal factors – "greed, jealousy, and petty differences," and not by a genuine concern about crime or insecurity.
Gellately "found cases of partners in business turning in associates to gain full ownership; jealous boyfriends informing on rival suitors; neighbors betraying entire families who chronically left shared bathrooms unclean or who occupied desirable apartments."
"And then there were those who informed because for the first time in their lives someone in authority would listen to them and value what they said."
Gellately emphasizes the fact that the Germans who sicked the authorities on their neighbors knew very well what the consequences for the victims would be – families torn apart, torture and internment in concentration camps, and ultimately in many cases death – but they still did it with few qualms because the rewards of financial bounties and mere convenience were deemed more important to them.
As we have covered before, the WeTip program is by no means the only initiative that is training Americans to become amateur domestic spies.
One of the largest cable TV companies in the United States, [7] Bright House, is training its employees to look for suspicious behavior and report it to police under the guise of a neighborhood watch initiative called Operation Bright Eyes.
The legacy of training Americans to spy on each other in the name of "safety" has its origins in Operation TIPS, which was supposedly nixed by Congress, a DOJ, FBI, DHS and FEMA coordinated program [8] that would have recruited one in twenty-four Americans as domestic informants, a higher percentage than was used by the Stasi in Communist East Germany.
Government funding was cut after an outcry but private funding continues and the same program was introduced under a number of sub-divisions including AmeriCorps, SecureCorps and the Highway Watch program [9].
In July last year we reported [10] on how hundreds of police, firefighters, paramedics and utility workers have been trained and recently dispatched as "Terrorism Liaison Officers" in Colorado, Arizona and California to watch for "suspicious activity" which is later fed into a secret government database.
Also last year, a New York Times feature article heartily celebrated [11]the fact that an increasing number of Americans are becoming informants and turning in their neighbors and family members to the authorities in return for cash rewards. In a piece about a new program run by Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers, citing gas prices, foreclosure rates and runaway food price inflation, The Times lauds the fact that citizens are reporting on each other, ensuring "a substantial increase in Crime Stopper-related arrests and recovered property, as callers turn in neighbors, grandchildren or former boyfriends in exchange for a little cash."
As the Recession Ready America blog points [12] out in relation to the WeTip program and its offer of $1,000 for turning people in, in an environment of recession and unemployment, the temptation to inform on people for minor indiscretions would be too tempting for many to resist, creating a gargantuan backlog of petty offences reported by people with no criminal detective skills whatsoever, leading to harassment of innocent people and ensuring that more real crimes go unsolved.
We invite our readers to use the WeTip "Submit a Tip" form [13] to remind the crypto-Nazis behind this program that this is America, not Germany in the 1930′s. Building strong communities is all about establishing strong bonds and friendships with your neighbors, not grassing them up to the authorities for a quick buck.

Pooh sized husband/Tinkerbell sized wife
I didn't want to hijack the Pooh sized people thread so here's another question. Husband is 6'5 330lbs. I'm 5'3 105lbs. From previous amusement park trips, I don't like sitting with him on lap bar rides, and I'm not really fond of sitting with him with belts either. (I will NEVER ride a wooden coaster with him again!). For some of the more turbulent rides, which ones are my son (8 year old stringbean) and I going to have to ride separately from him?
Most of costers that have a belt or bar are 2 person cars so he would have to ride in front or in back of you.
I understand. DF is 6'5 and 290ish. I'm 5'1 and 130ish. We didn't have too many problems at Disney. There are just a couple of rides we avoid. We have more problems at normal amusement parks.
So it's her first big-kid coaster, and overprotective Dad here decides he better ride with her while DD9 rides in the next seat.
Lap bars. :scared1:
She was fine, of course, but I spent the entire ride worrying that Micro-Minnie was going to fly out, considering that my fat belly meant that there was what seemed like a four foot gap between her and the lap bar.:rotfl:
Primevil whirl will throw you around from side to side. They tell you which seat the larger person should sit in, but I've ridden it with people my size and we still slam into each other, no matter who's sitting where.
EE has separate lap bars so you can sit with him. BTMRR- make him ride alone in another row. ToT has separate seat belts.

The Editors
April 2003 (Volume 54, Number 11)
Truth and conscience, and with them art, are the first casualties of any war. The impending U.S. invasion of Iraq has already provided us with two major examples of this. The first of these was the cancellation by First Lady Laura Bush of a White House Symposium on "Poetry and the American Voice" scheduled for early February 2003, once it was discovered that some of the invited poets were voicing opposition to Bush administration plans for an invasion of Iraq and might use the occasion to address the conscience of the country on the war. (Upon receiving the White House invitation, as explained in this issue, Sam Hamill, founding editor and co-founder of Copper Canyon Press, issued a call for the establishment of Poets Against the War. His call was answered by thousands of poets, including many of the country's leading literary figures, who offered their antiwar poems. Some of this poetry protesting the impending war is printed for the first time in this issue of MR.)… | more |
March 2003 (Volume 54, Number 10)
In the 1920s Andrew Mellon, who served as secretary of the treasury under Presidents Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover (it was sometimes said that they served under him), introduced a series of gargantuan tax cuts culminating in what was known as the Mellon Plan. This consisted of a huge cut in the income tax rates of the rich along with reductions in other taxes paid by the wealthy. High income tax rates, Mellon claimed, "tend to destroy individual initiative and enterprise and seriously impede the development of productive enterprise." When Mellon's foes, such as the great Progressive Senator Robert La Follette, declared that Mellon was trying to "let wealth escape" its fair share of taxation, he sought to turn the tables on them by charging that they were engaging in class warfare. "The man who seeks to perpetuate prejudice and class hatred," the treasury secretary stated, "is doing America an ill service. In attempting to promote or defeat legislation by arraying one class of taxpayers against another, he shows a complete misconception of the principles of equality on which the country was founded" … | more |
February 2003 (Volume 54, Number 9)
On December 19, 2002 U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell declared that the 12,000 page document that Iraq delivered to the United Nations on December 7, listing its secret weapons programs together with any dual use agents that could be used in proscribed weapons systems, contained significant omissions. It thus constituted, in the view of the Bush administration, a further "material breach" in Iraq's obligations under current U.N. resolutions. All of this was meant to add to Washington's case for waging a war on Iraq, ostensibly in order to "disarm" it… | more |

"The American health care system is confronting a crisis." This was the not very surprising conclusion of a study by a National Academy of Science panel on the U.S. health care system, carried out at the request of the administration and released in November 2002 www.nap.edu/books/0309087074/html. The report, entitled Fostering Rapid Advances in Health Care, describes conditions that are little short of horrendous. Health care costs are increasing at an annual rate in excess of 12 percent. The insured are receiving far fewer benefits while paying much more in out-of-pocket expenses. States in fiscal trouble are cutting benefits for Medicaid and other health programs. The number of uninsured has climbed to 41.2 million or 14.5 percent of the U.S. population. This means that one in seven individuals in the United States lacks any health care coverage whatsoever, and many more have inadequate coverage. A quarter of U.S. children aged to nineteen to thirty-five months are deficient in immunizations. Tens of thousands of individuals die every year from medical errors and many more than that from injuries caused by the health system… | more |

Among the major countries of the world, the United States has the highest per capita income, and it is often assumed therefore that the ordinary American is materially better off than his or her counterpart anywhere else in the world. In fact, this proposition is practically taken for granted within U.S. national culture, since it is constantly being drummed into our ears by the media and educational institutions. Yet, as a logical proposition it is simply false. This was recently pointed out by Paul Krugman, a leading mainstream economist and columnist for the New York Times, in an article ("For Richer," New York Times Magazine, October 20, 2002) dedicated to explaining exactly why this national myth is mistaken. "Life expectancy in the U.S.," Krugman observes, "is well below that in Canada, Japan and every major nation in Western Europe. On the average, we can expect lives a bit shorter than those of Greeks, a bit longer than those of Portuguese. Male life expectancy is lower in the U.S. than it is in Costa Rica"… | more |
U.S. Imperial Ambitions and Iraq
Officially Washington's current policy toward Iraq is to bring about a "regime change"—either through a military coup, or by means of a U.S. invasion, justified as a "preemptive attack" against a rogue state bent on developing and deploying weapons of mass destruction.* But a U.S. invasion, should it take place, would not confine its objectives to mere regime change in Baghdad. The larger goal would be nothing less than the global projection of U.S. power through assertion of American dominance over the entire Middle East. What the world is now facing therefore is the prospect of a major new development in the history of imperialism… | more |

On September 10, of this year, an interview entitled, "Nelson Mandela: The U.S.A. is a Threat to World Peace," appeared as a Newsweek web exclusive, http://www.msnbc.com/news/806174.asp. In this interview, Mandela reviewed some of the history of U.S. interventions in the Middle East—including U.S. support of the Shah of Iran, which led to the Islamic revolution in 1979, and U.S. arming and financing of the mujahedin in Afghanistan, which led to the rise of the Taliban. He went on to say, "If you look at those matters, you will come to the conclusion that the attitude of the United States of America is a threat to world peace. Because what [America] is saying is that if you are afraid of a veto in the Security Council, you can go outside and take action and violate the sovereignty of other countries. That is the message they are sending the world. That must be condemned in the strongest terms." Later, on September 16, when Washington condemned as mere duplicity Iraq's offer to allow unconditional inspection of its weapons facilities by U.N. inspectors, and again threatened war, Mandela asked: "What right has Bush to say that Iraq's offer is not genuine? We must condemn that very strongly. No country, however strong, is entitled to comment adversely in the way the U.S. has done. They think they're the only power in the world. They're not and they're following a dangerous policy. One country wants to bully the world" (Guardian, September 19, 2002)… | more |
October 2002 (Volume 54, Number 5)
In late August and early September a number of MR and Socialist Register authors (including Patrick Bond, John Bellamy Foster, Gerard Greenfield, Naomi Klein, and John Saul) participated in forums in Johannesburg related to the World Summit on Sustainable Development. On August 24, they joined in a march led by antiprivatization activists from the black townships (in particular by Trevor Ngwane and Virginia Setshedi—whose role in the struggle in South Africa is discussed in Ashwin Desai's new MR Press book, We Are the Poors). The march was organized to protest the arrest and jailing of political activists. The marchers lit candles and proceeded peacefully but were met within minutes by the South African police who exploded percussion grenades, injuring three of the protestors. The harsh and unprovoked actions of the police on this occasion pointed to the increasingly antipopular character of the South African state, which is imposing neoliberal economic policy on the society. It also underscored the repressive measures now commonly utilized at world summits in general. We will address the Johannesburg summit and the economic and environmental problems of southern Africa in an upcoming issue of MR… | more |
For more than three decades, visitors to Monthly Review's Manhattan offices would be greeted with the slightly raspy, always cheerful "Hi ya" that Beadie Magdoff offered to cabinet ministers, students, revolutionaries, workers, political exiles, and internationally renowned scholars. They came to work with the editors, to join the lunchtime discussions, and, of course, to leave with the latest Monthly Review Press books that Beadie made sure they bought. Beadie was an instrumental part of the daily life of MR, indefatigable not only in the small tasks she took on, but in her insistence on an unyielding passion for social justice as well as a clear focus on the case for socialism… | more |

The growth and eventual bursting of financial bubbles is an inherent feature of capitalist accumulation, as can be seen in the long history of such crises from the South Sea Bubble of the early eighteenth century to the financial blowouts of the present day. In the first half of the summer a dramatic bubble-bursting decline in the U.S. and European stock exchanges wiped out the stock market gains of the previous five years—a period characterized by manic speculation… | more |

Fifty-four years ago when MR was being planned, one of the questions that the editors, Leo Huberman and Paul Sweezy, had to decide was whether to have a section at the back of the magazine on literature and the arts, what in publisher's parlance is called "the back of the book." The MR editors decided not to do so, mainly for practical reasons. They did not feel that they had the necessary knowledge and training to do a good job editorially with such cultural material, and they felt sure that in the circumstances that the U.S. left then found itself they could not count on the support of enough serious socialist critics to sustain an arts section meeting the same standards as MR as a whole. In 1963, the first of these conditions changed temporarily, when Frances Kelly, who had been Business Manager of the New Left Review in London and whose special field of competence was the arts, came to work with the MR editors as Assistant and then Associate Editor. Under Frances Kelly's editorship, MR published a cultural supplement called Review 1 as an experiment in 1965… | more |
June 2002 (Volume 54, Number 2)
In the May issue of MR, we published an article by James Petras, written in March, entitled "The U.S. Offensive in Latin America." The article raised the issue of an impending military coup in Venezuela, then being actively promoted by Washington, aimed at replacing the democratically elected president Hugo Chávez with what the Bush administration had already been publicly calling a "transitional government" (or, as Petras termed it, a "transitional civic-military junta"). "Washington," Petras wrote, "is implementing a civil-military approach to overthrow President Chávez in Venezuela….U.S. strategy is multiphased and combines media, civic, and economic attacks with efforts to provoke fissures in the military, all aimed at encouraging a military coup." The object of the coup, from Washington's standpoint, was threefold: to regain control of Venezuela's oil industry which accounts for 15 percent of U.S. oil imports, to eliminate the indirect support that Venezuela has been giving to guerrillas in Colombia and to insurgent forces in Ecuador, and to put an end to Chávez's attempt to break away from the imperialistic network—Venezuela's step toward independence… | more |
May 2002 (Volume 54, Number 1)
This month marks the fiftieth anniversary of Monthly Review Press. The idea of starting a book publishing arm of MR had its origin in an accidental meeting in Central Park in 1951 between noted journalist I.F. Stone, then a reporter and columnist of the leftist New York Daily Compass, and MR editors Leo Huberman and Paul Sweezy. Stone told Huberman and Sweezy that he had written a book disputing the official history of the Korean War but had not been able to find a publisher in that era of fervent McCarthyism and war hysteria. They asked to see the manuscript, and on its strength decided to establish Monthly Review Press. The Hidden History of the Korean War, the very first book published by Monthly Review Press, was released in May 1952… | more |

As this special issue on the economy goes to the printer, the business press is full of the news that a mild recovery from the recession that began in March 2001 may already be in the works, as was suggested by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan in testimony to Congress in late February. Whether this should prove to be the case or not, it remains true that the long-term, deepening problems of the U.S. economy are for the most part ignored in such accounts, in favor of a short-run focus on an expected cyclical upswing.… | more |
Annette T. Rubinstein: 95th Birthday Celebration
Annette T. Rubinstein—educator, author, activist—celebrated her ninety-fifth birthday three days early on April 9, at the Brecht Forum's new headquarters. At a gathering of more than two hundred of her devoted family, friends, colleagues, comrades, speakers regaled the audience with personal stories and memories of Annette's fabulous life. John Mage, representing Monthly Review, suggested that she must have had previous lives because "the breadth of vision, the historical understanding, and the contents of the memory could not have been acquired in one lifetime—even hers." Harry Magdoff, via a taped recording, reminded the audience that "Annette in personality, in her life of creativity, activity, and humanism, illustrates the ways of Socialist women and men." He concluded by saying "I love you"—in Yiddish.… | more |
March 2002 (Volume 53, Number 10)
In January, with no public discussion and little fanfare, Washington began the first major extension of its "war on terrorism" beyond Afghanistan by sending U.S. troops into the Philippines. The contingent of nearly 700 troops, including 160 Special Forces soldiers, was sent to the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), which consists of a number of islands and one major city, and is populated chiefly by a few million Moros (Muslim Filipinos). The mission of the U.S. forces has been to "assess" the military situation, provide military advice, and "train" the 7000 Philippine soldiers currently pursuing the guerrillas of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) operating in the southern islands of Basilan and Jolo… | more |
U.S. Military Bases and Empire
Empires throughout human history have relied on foreign military bases to enforce their rule, and in this respect at least, Pax Americana is no different than Pax Romana or Pax Britannica. "The principal method by which Rome established her political supremacy in her world," wrote historian Arnold Toynbee in his America and the World Revolution (1962)… | more |
February 2002 (Volume 53, Number 9)
The meltdown of Enron, the giant energy trading firm, which recently ranked as the seventh largest U.S. corporation—now its largest ever bankruptcy—is one of the most startling events in U.S. financial history. Only a few months ago Enron was the toast of Wall Street. It was the symbol of the New Economy and of the deregulation of both finance and energy markets. Its former CEO, Jeffrey K. Skilling, promoted the idea that assets were not what made a company valuable. Instead what counted was a corporation's intellectual capital. He sold the idea of Enron as a nimble, highly-leveraged, "asset-light" company engaged in aggressive internet-based trading. The point is that this huge and highly regarded corporation did not make anything. Nor did it perform a service like distributing energy. It was in essence a purely speculative enterprise, making money through trading made possible by the deregulation of a basic consumer need (electricity). And U.S. business bought it! For six years in a row, the editors of Fortune magazine selected Enron as the "most innovative" among the magazine's "most admired" corporations. Enron was a principal fundraising source for President George W. Bush's electoral campaign. It was a big winner in California's electrical deregulation crisis, which generated skyrocketing electricity prices and huge profits for big energy traders. Enron's corporate empire was underwritten by some of the biggest U.S. banks, including J. P. Morgan Chase and Citigroup… | more |
January 2002 (Volume 53, Number 8)
The U.S. news media coverage of the current war has again drawn attention to the severe limitations of our journalism, and our media system, for a viable democratic and humane society. The coverage has effectively been stenography to those in power, and since the Democrats have offered dismal resistance to or even interrogation of the war policies, uncomfortable facts that undermine enthusiasm for the war, and the broader wave of militarism it is part of, appear only briefly on the margins. Dissident opinions, as they do not come from elite quarters, are all but nonexistent in the premier media outlets. The most striking admission of the propaganda basis of U.S. journalism came from CNN, when it insisted that its domestic coverage of the war be sugarcoated so as not to undermine popular enthusiasm for the war, while its international coverage would regard the United States in a more critical manner; i.e. exactly as credible journalists should regard it… | more |
December 2001 (Volume 53, Number 7)
For a long time radicals have characterized the electoral systems in capitalist societies as "bourgeois democracies." At times, this term has been used in a strictly pejorative sense, to dismiss any electoral work as inconsequential or merely a device for legitimating capitalism in the eyes of the poor and working class. Our view of left electoral work is less doctrinaire; we think there is an important place for such activity as a part of a broader socialist organizing agenda, though the degree of importance in any particular instance varies depending upon many factors. We also think that such a categorical dismissal of electoral politics misses the critical significance of the term "bourgeois democracy." It means an electoral system in which the rule of capital—i.e. bourgeois social relations—is taken as a given, and the range of electoral debate is strictly limited, never challenging the class basis of society… | more |

Floor was slippery in the bathroom. Got wet, slipped, fell, and hurt my back. Better now, but I was lucky.
Nice people. Very helpful. Very straight up and not defensive when I fell and hurt my back. Glad I was OK and didn't have to pursue. I recommended a couple of things to prevent future problems and I bet they pursued them. And a very good deal for such a short notice reservation.

The rooms smelled so bad we had to go and buy Frebreeze. the only way to reach the staff was to call "0" when someone did answer we said they didn't need to clean our room just bring fresh towels. We never got them.We used the towel to put on our pillow
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The garbage in the hall by the back entrance was full when we got there on Friday and still full on Sunday when we left.

Children thankful for returned parade ribbon
To the editor:
We want to thank the nice person who turned in our second place Christmas parade ribbon.
We wish we knew who he was so we could thank him personally.
We also want to thank Lawrenceburg Mayor Edwinna Baker for calling us with the good news and giving us the ribbon back last week. Madeleine the reindeer goat thanks you, too!

The Night Before Christmas
(at the White House)
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the nation
Not a creature was stirring, due to economic stagnation
A list of woes was hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Obama would soon be there;
The twins were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of bourbon balls danced in their heads
And mamma in her 'kerchief' eating a wrap
Had just settled down with the world's biggest sap
When out on the lawn there arose such a howl,
Column as I see 'em...
A question for those of you who think the answer for America's auto industry woes is for the Big Three to build electric cars: What happens when tens of millions of people pull into their driveways after work and plug them in?
Might not be too terrible a problem here, but when it's 90 degrees on the West Coast, California already experiences brown outs due to its aging and inadequate electric grid.
Ditto the Northeast.
I never thought I could become a Southern Cal football fan. Maybe it's because of the way they repeatedly run roughshod over my University of Michigan Wolverines in the Rose Bowl.
It wasn't always that way. The Michiganders swamped the Trojans 49-0 in the 1949 Rose Bowl. But that's ancient history and I didn't become a Wolverine fan until the 1970s when I moved to Michigan. Since then it has been all University of Southern California. They whipped U of M 14-3 in 1970, 14-6 in 1972, 28-14 in 2004, and 32-18 two years ago.
In dribs and drabs, Lawrenceburg's business community is shrinking nearly every week as small businesses continue to go under.
As a community, we can sit back and wait for someone in Frankfort or Washington, D.C., to sprinkle pixie dust on the economy and get it back on track, or we can take matters into our own hands.
A Mountain Dew sits to my left and a bag of Doritos sits behind it. When I go home tonight, I know that I'll either have something to cook for dinner or the money to go to the grocery store and find it.
I say this not to remind you of how much junk food I eat, but to remind you that I'm one of the lucky ones — I have food to eat.
A very giving group of people — led by Tamara Williams — is hosting a dinner tomorrow night at Emma B. Ward Elementary as a fundraiser for those who aren't so lucky.
Unlike my wife, who can trace her heritage directly to ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War, I don't know a whole lot about my family's history.
I know that my ancestors migrated from Virginia to Kentucky a couple hundred years ago and that they were originally from Great Britain and Ireland. But I don't know much else about my forefathers.
Does anyone else find it more than a little bizarre that so many heretofore ardent capitalists have turned to a form of socialism to bail out Wall Street, big banking and possibly the big three auto companies?
But that is exactly what has been happening since the massive financial meltdown began.
And why is it that when poor folks receive government assistance the well-to-do label it as welfare, but those same moneyed people think it's OK when their failing businesses receive welfare in the form of a government handout/bailout?

For Immediate Release
Date: 04/07/14
AUGUSTA - House Republican Leader Ken Fredette of Newport on Monday urged Senate Democrats to approve LD 1815, his bill to establish an upfront work search requirement for job-ready Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) applicants.
"Opponents of welfare reform have spent a lot of time recently attacking other commonsense proposals to restrict EBT use, but they haven't justified their opposition to the work-search-before-welfare bill," said Rep. Fredette. "This is something that virtually every Mainer would agree is good policy, so we owe it to them to have a vigorous debate on the issue."
Even liberal blogger Gerald Weinand of Dirigo Blue has acknowledged the benefits of the measure, which gained nine Democratic votes in the House last week before failing, 70-62. The Maine Senate is expected to debate and vote on the bill, along with three other welfare reform proposals, on Monday afternoon. Rep. Fredette's bill would require job-ready TANF applicants to apply for at least three jobs before receiving benefits.
"Growing up, I saw firsthand the perils of poverty, but I also remember when our welfare system was truly an avenue of last resort," said Rep. Fredette. "My bill is one small step toward re-establishing the expectation that those who seek public assistance have exhausted all other avenues before they come to the government for help. We all want to help the truly needy with some temporary assistance, but taxpayers are tired of feeling taken advantage of."
Under the proposal, job applications could be made online or in-person and prospective TANF recipients would simply provide verifiable information to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) about where they applied. Applicants must currently wait about 30 days before receiving benefits, so the work search requirement would not delay benefits.
Assistant Senate Republican Leader Roger Katz of Augusta, a moderate member of the party, recently penned an op-ed in support of LD 1815 in the Maine Today Media newspapers.
"Here's how I look at it," he wrote. "If my cousin came to me saying he was down and out and in need of money, I would be inclined to help him, but I would first ask whether he had made any recent efforts to find a job. If the answer were 'no,' I would tell him to go look for work and then come back and see me. I suspect most of us would do the same."
The Alabama State Legislature recently passed a similar measure, making that state the 20th, including the District of Columbia, to impose an upfront work search requirement on TANF recipients. Among those states are left-leaning Vermont, New York, and New Jersey.

New headphones for iPhone, iPod touch: EarPods
Apple has shipped 600 million sets of its iconic white earbuds, but over the past three years it's taken the design back to the drawing board. The result is the EarPod, a significant redesign.
EarPods are differently shaped compared to the old earbuds, which should mean greater comfort for a wide variety of users. They don't create a seal like in-ear headphones, but the shaping and ports are designed for optimal comfort and sound. There's a sound port in the back for mid-tones, another port in the stem, and the main port pointing directly into the ear canal.
EarPods can be bought by themselves, but they will also be shipping standard with the iPhone 5, new iPod touch and new iPod nano.
These new earphones probably won't satisfy demanding audiophiles, but they do look like a significant improvement over the old design. Hopefully they sound just as good as their design implies they should.

Gold Prices Today: Everything You Need to Know on Jan. 6
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Gold prices were little changed following two consecutive trading days that pushed gold up more than $30 to start 2014.
Gold for February delivery at the COMEX division of the New York Mercantile Exchange was gaining $2.70 to $1,241.30 an ounce. The gold price traded as high as $1,247.70 and as low as $1,212.50 an ounce. The spot price was increasing $8.26, or 0.67%.
"The key issue is will those underlying fundamentals such as tapering, higher interest rates, are they going to start to resurface along with better economic data?" Phil Streible, senior commodities broker at RJO Futures, asked in an interview. "I think gold prices will start to sell off again, so in the next week to two weeks, we could see it back below the $1,200 level."
Silver prices for March delivery were tacking on 3 cents to $20.24, while the U.S. dollar index was losing 0.27% to $80.65.
What the pros are saying:
- Barclays: "From both a macro and underlying fundamentals perspective, gold is likely to struggle to find supportive catalysts in 2014. ... [A] more structural shift in market dynamics, such as signs of inflation, delayed interest rate hikes or greater-than-expected demand from China, and from the official sector in particular, would be required to turn the tide for gold."
- Morgan Stanley: "We find it difficult to fathom a plausible scenario in which gold prices will move sustainably higher in 2014, given the cyclical headwinds the asset class faces."
- Marex Spectron: "So, although things look better today than they did last year, this is not the beginning of a major move for gold. We are still range bound in the same way we have been for a while. I said a couple of times last month that if gold dropped below 1200, one should buy it and that remains the case."
- Commerzbank AG: "All of this is clearly overshadowed by China's gold demand. ... In other words, gold imports may well have been only moderate in December, too. That said, it is highly probable that China will have overtaken India as the world's biggest gold consumer for the year as a whole."
Gold ETF SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) was gaining 0.35% to $119.71 a share. NovaGold Resources (NG) was one of the top performers among the gold miners, adding 3.3% to $2.79 a share.-- Written by Joe Deaux in New York. >Contact by Email. Follow @JoeDeaux
