It is interesting to note how liberals, when discussing some problem, often speak in terms of programs in order to fix those problems. Got a housing problem? Start an affordable housing program. Got a hunger problem? Start a nutrition program. Got an energy problem? Start a renewable energy program. These programs are, of course, intended to fix the problems for which they were designed to address. Consider housing; specifically, the current problem of high foreclosure rates. Obama has proposed dealing with foreclosures with his housing program. If an individual wanted to take advantage of this plan, he/she would have to meet the qualifications. The intention, of course, is that those needing the help would meet the qualifications. But that isn't always going to be the case. Some people who ought to be helped won't qualify, for one reason or another; and some people who oughtn't be helped will still qualify anyway. To use an analogy, government is attempting to cast a wide net to catch fish; no matter how big the net, government won't be able to catch all the fish, and it will end up catching some turtles too.
But if you think about it, "the housing problem" is really composed of a bunch of little problems. "The housing problem" includes Bob & Judy and their family who, sadly, are being foreclosed on because Bob just lost his job and Judy was just diagnosed with cancer and now has huge medical bills. That's sad and these people are worthy of help. But "the housing problem" also includes Vince the house-flipper who got in over his head and now is looking to be bailed out from his bad choices. "The housing problem" includes Reginald the owner of beachfront resort housing who is rich enough to weather the housing bubble, but, if the government is going to be handing out free money, is more than happy to take a share of it. "The housing problem" includes Farmer Joe who, during the days of $4/gal gas, put all his eggs in the ethanol boom, and, now, finds himself and his farm overleveraged and doesn't know if he'll be able to keep his farm that's been in his family for generations. Will Obama's housing program help all these people? Will Obama's housing program help any of these people? Maybe 3 out of 4? We don't really know.
So, naturally, conservatives complain that Obama's program will end up helping people like Vince and Reginald (possibly), and liberals defend Obama's program pointing out that it will help people like Bob & Judy and Farmer Joe (probably). Conservatives and liberals scream at each other: "You want to bail out the irresponsible!" "You want to throw poor people into the streets!" But this shouting match misses the real problem inherent in Obama's housing program, or any housing program for that matter. To use the fishing analogy again, it's not that government is casting the net too wide, or is using too fine a mesh of net, to catch aquatic life that shouldn't be caught. The real problem is that government is using only one net. It has conceived of the problem in the singular form - "the housing problem" - and has designed a singular solution in order to fix it. Sure the solution may have different components with different strategies, but it is still conceived in response to a singular problem.
And herein lies the real contrast between conservatives and liberals. We conservatives are less inclined to view these problems as singular nouns. We understand that there is no single best solution to any of these problems; what will help Bob & Judy will probably not help Farmer Joe, and vice-versa.
So what is government to do? Well, government could, in principle, tailor its solution to meet the needs of each individual person who ought to be helped. With the fishing analogy, it would be equivalent to throwing away the net and individually selecting each fish to be caught. And this solution, while possible in principle, is just not feasible. Besides, a government which had this sort of immense power is not one that I care to live with. So this is why conservatives are knee-jerk opposed to new government programs. It's not that we don't want "the housing problem" to be solved. It's that the government program won't actually solve the real underlying problems (plural) for which it has been designed to solve.
I must vociferously disagree with Aaron Marks here. He's right that we must let market forces sort out the mess caused by the distortive practices of government. The problem is, his prescription (a la one Dr. Meltzer) is yet more of the same distortive intervention. In short, what Marks is claim as a "free market solution" is not. Let me explain.
Marks basically wants more tax-breaks (subsidies) for housing. But anybody who knows anything about this problem (like free market economists) know that it's not temporary tax breaks, subsidies or any other government-style epicyclical policies that will clean up the mess. It's about government getting the fundamentals right by NOT privileging industries—including housing. It's about getting the rules of the game set, normalized and predictable. It's not about more Keynesian tweaks, which targeted tax breaks most certainly are.
This is exactly how the left is able to demonize free markets. Because partisan Republicans bastardize the concept. Marks's suggestion is the intellectual equivalent of W's suggestion that the free market be abandoned to save it. Unless we understand free markets, let us not use the term like blunt instrument, applying it to whatever policy suggestion that happens to include a tax break. This is just more attempts to clean up government messes with muddy mops. Or as Peter Klein writes:
Another aspect of journalists' remarkably credulous and fatuous attitude towards policymakers is their view that rhetoric, not substance, is what matters. Hence the constant references to the Bush Administration's "dedication to free-market principles," its "aversion to regulation," its "belief in letting markets work by themselves." This is of course sheer balderdash and piffle, virtually the reverse of the truth. Bush and Paulson and Greenspan and their clique are "free marketeers" in the same way (to borrow from A. J. Jacobs) that Olive Garden is an Italian restaurant. They adopt the language, and some of the form, of market advocacy without any of the content. The Bush Administration was already, before the "financial crisis," the most economically interventionist since LBJ; it now ranks with Hoover and FDR as the most aggressively anti-market in US history.
Aaron Marks, I believe, is merely giving fodder to a confused MSM and lunatic left. It's no wonder we're losing. Until our folks understand what free market means from a broadly institutional perspective, we are lost. Jack in Michigan nails it in the comments of Marks's post:
Basic bubble economics 101: The healing only can begin when the bubble-inflated prices return to the level that's in equilibrium with the real economy, ie, that can be justified by actual income levels. Are we there yet? No, not yet, but gettin' there. The temporary tax credit only delays that, and so prolongs the agony. It's like a hard core alcoholic taking a drink the morning after so he doesn't feel so rotten.
Partisan Republicans had best stop wearing the free market hat if they're confused about free markets. That sends real free marketeers into fits. It also confuses the masses and lets lefties blame the market for the goofy government policies. In short, we need to stop subsidizing people to invest in housing. Period. Prices must reflect economic reality and the rules of the game must be established so that the market can adjust. Tweaking the rules to adjust to distortions caused by prior tweaks the the self-same prescription that keeps our economy in rollercoaster business cycles and wacky volatility. (For an antidote to interventionist thinking of all kinds, see this.)
I, Mr.L, subscribe to the Newt Gingrich philosophy regarding the bailout plan. That is, simply, I think it sucks. The main reason that I'm against this bill is because there's no proof that the billions will actually solve the problem. A friend of mine recently reminded me of the old saying which applies to this economic problem at hand.
"I'm from the government and I'm here to help"
The punch line to that is, if anyone says that to you, run and don't walk from them.
Help? It's a four letter word. It is how we got here. The "I gotta help" mentality of liberalism. Jimmy Carter and the Community Reinvestment Act. Bill Clinton and the so called Clinton "changes" in his administration in 1995 which advocated for subprime loans. Liberals like Barack Obama who worked for law firms Miner, Barnhill & Galland who were hell-bent for leather trying to get minorities in homes. These firms "helped" by suing the banks with discrimination charges if they didn't lend money to unqualified black or Hispanic buyers. You know, the mentality of giving them the home due to the color of their skin and not the color green in their wallets!
The same liberals, Obama, Pelosi, Boxer, Frank, Reid, who wanted to CUT AND RUN in Iraq are now trying to CUT AND RUN from their own irresponsibly horrid ideologies and economic policies. They want to CUT AND RUN from the blame and pawn it off on Bush, Republicans and Wall Street Tycoons. Now, I'm not saying that the Wall Street money honeys and daddies don't deserve the blame, but what about the ordinary irresponsible average asshole? They are not immune from being corrupt. They are just as much to blame for running the country's economy into the ground. They did so by taking bad loans, buying "McMansions", not understanding the terms of loans, having bad credit and then, for some close to 1 million illegal immigrants, literally walked away from their responsibilities and went back to "their country".
None of them are mentioning the average citizen. They keep saying "rich bankers", "wall street tycoons" etc. They're actually advocating for more bad lending practices and offering MORE HELP to distressed homeowners.
Do you personally know anyone who has been forclosed on? I don't. Not only do I not know anyone but, I don't know ANYONE who knows anyone who has.
It's liberals & even Bush who are using fear and leaving behind reason by bascially claiming that, if this bill doesn't pass, the four horsemen of the apocalypse ride up on America. According to them, business won't be able to make payroll, people won't be able to buy cars and home prices will drop. Bullshit!
I would think that actions could be taken to help small business owners make their payroll if need be. I think most will agree with me when I say that home prices NEED to come down. Currently, in the suburbs of New York, a two bedroom co-apt or condo in an good area goes for roughly a cool 300k. That's absurd. And a homeowner can't come and cry to me that they want to sell and "can't get what they want for it" . There's a owner on my block who bought his 2 family house in 1970 for 50k and wants 800k for it. Wake up! The days of "flipping" are over.
And what about liberals like Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi who, all of a sudden, care about the automotive industry and whether or not you can buy a car? I would think that liberal greenies wouldn't give a crap whether or not the auto industry could go under. After all, that would mean less cars on the road would help global warming, right?
What exactly did people do before credit when they wanted to buy a car or a house? They had to save money. Put their own money into the deal. You know, something called a down payment. It might be that Americans will have to be introduced to an old concept that they don't quite like and that is, fiscal conservatism. You want a car? Well, you're going to have to save for it. If you can't make a down payment, well, you're going to have to buy a shabanger instead of a Lexus and fix that baby up until you can buy a better car.
It's clear that fiscal liberalism has run a muck. Fiscal conservatism will save the nation. It's going to take time. But just like this crisis began took over ten years to come to a head, it will take that long to fix it. No quick fixes. No easy solutions.
No more help.
The meltdown of Fannie and Freddie should be a transformative moment in American politics. It should discredit the whole Democratic economic agenda. It is too bad that it happened in the middle of the most interesting Presidential election in a generation because there are lessons to learn from it. Several points.
Let's start with some numbers. Contributions since 1989(!) to ALL members of Congress. Note that this is an aggregate over time. Note how a guy who has been in Congress for 3 years manages to come in 3rd on the list.
1. Dodd, Christopher J
2. Kerry, John
3. Obama, Barack
5. Kanjorski, Paul E
First, this is a Democratic scandal. In yesterday's WaPo Al Hubbard and Noam Neusner ask "Where was Senator Dodd?" The answer is clear. On the take. Open Secrets notes who gets money from these guys:
Fifteen of the 25 lawmakers who have received the most from the two companies combined since the 1990 election sit on either the House Financial Services Committee; the Senate Banking, Housing & Urban Affairs Committee; or the Senate Finance Committee. The others have seats on the powerful Appropriations or Ways & Means committees, are members of the congressional leadership or have run for president. Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), chairman of the Senate banking committee, has received the most from Fannie and Freddie's PACs and employees ($133,900 since 1989). Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-Pa.) has received $65,500. Kanjorski chairs the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Insurance and Government-Sponsored Enterprises, and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are government-sponsored enterprises, or GSEs.
But they miss the important point. The GSEs give to Democrats primarily.
And this is the second point. These are partisan instituttions. Republicans tried to reform it, but got out lobbied every time. Hubbard and Neusner described how this works:
The administration did not accept half-measures. In 2005, Republican Mike Oxley, then chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, brought up a reform bill (H.R. 1461), and Fannie and Freddie's lobbyists set out to weaken it. The bill was rendered so toothless that Card called Oxley the night before markup and promised to oppose it. Oxley pulled the bill instead.
When there was a Republican Congress, Congressional leadership tried to do the right thing, but Fannie and Freddie's lobbyists picked off some weak Republicans. With a Democratic Congress, Fannie and Freddie just feed at the trough.
Third, these guys are some of the most powerful figures in the Democratic lobbyist-operative firmament. Obama was forced to fire James Johnson, his first VP Vetter. Johnson had been CEO of Fannie Mae. But it doesn't stop there. Johnson, while a consultant for Fannie and Countrywide, was passing out below market loans to Senator Dodd, among others.
The recent CEO of Fannie was Franklin Delano Raines. (what do you bet his parents politics were?) Raines was a Clinton OMB Director and worked in the Carter White House. Raines was replaced with an actual business guy.
Fourth, it doesn't stop there. Not only that, but the affordable housing racket is also used as a way to launder government money into corrupt Democratic voter registration practices. One of the organizations pushing subprime loans and other "affordable housing" financial vehicles... ACORN, which got a sweet deal in the Housing Bill.
What is the upshot of all of this? The housing meltdown has both causes and effects that are ideologically aligned with Democratic objectives. While gutting the regulatory apparatus for a huge segment of our economy, leading Democrats were receiving contributions and below market loans from the very people whose regulations their were gutting. It was used to move money into Democratic grassroots campaign vehicles. And it moved substantial parts of the economy into government control. According to financial analyst Barry Richoltz, "socialism for the rich."
This should be a long-term stain on the credibility of Democratic Party's economic management. Too bad no one has the attention span to notice.

IMPORTANT: Please take our listener survey
House GOP Leader John Boehner's statement on the Housing Bill this week, which deserved the no vote he was urging, was utterly tone deaf. Never, never write a sentence like:
"We must take responsible steps to ensure our financial and housing markets are sound, but the Democrats' bill represents a multi-billion dollar bailout for scam artists and speculative lenders at the expense of American taxpayers."
Boehner later rephrased that same sentence at his press conference which predictably dominated the GOP's message on housing. Republicans should always craft every message and statement assuming that any individual sentence will be picked out of context. Period.
Voters who read a sentence like Boehner's hear: "If you're having trouble making your mortgage payments, Republicans think you're scum."
So how could Boehner and his staff have done this differently? He should have emphasized the distinction between the thousands of people who were sold a bill of goods by shady mortgage brokers, and the shady mortgage brokers themselves. For example, he could have said: "Our plan would help the people who have truly been victimized without bailing out the scam artists who earned billions by preying on honest folks' dreams of homeownership."
Incidentally, Heritage has some good principles that an effective homeowner relief bill should follow.

Inter-Professional Team Geriatric Case Training
Inter-professional team training is a primary focus of Geriatric Education Centers. To ensure that health professional students develop skills for working in inter-professional teams, the Meharry Consortium Geriatric Education Center hosts an annual inter-professional team geriatric case training.
On February 14, 2014, 183 medical, nursing, pharmacy, physical therapy, nutrition, and social work students and faculty from six local colleges and universities participated in the Inter-Professional Team Training at Meharry Medical College. Students were divided into inter-disciplinary teams to analyze a geriatric case and develop a care plan. Faculty experts were available to consult with teams, and nurse practitioner student 'observers' rated team dynamics. The program concluded with an interactive, interdisciplinary general assembly where students provided feedback on the case study, and an expert panel presented their care plan and answered questions.
Due to requests to accommodate additional graduate students, more than 190 medical, nursing and physical therapy students met at Tennessee State University on February 14. These students also held team meetings to discuss the geriatric case and develop care plans. They concluded by discussing their plans with faculty and watching a live-stream of the general assembly from Meharry.
For more information, please call Carol Galvez Gutierrez at 615.327.6947.

Kitchen table belonging to Ian Curtis for sale on eBay
The kitchen table formerly owned Ian Curtis is up for sale on eBay.
The item is listed with a £100 reserve price, which has not yet been met. The seller is supplying the wooden table with various documentation, including certificates confirmating its authenticity signed by Curtis' daughter Natalie, Curtis' widow Debbie and the daughter of Curtis' former neighbour, who sold the table eight years ago.
The listing explains that the table was sold along with the house at 77 Barton Street, Macclesfield, following Curtis' suicide in 1980. The table, a prop version of which is pictured in the biopic Control, was a fixture in the room in which Curtis took his life.
The seller goes on to say that Debbie Curtis sold the house and much of its contents to a neighbour, Dorothy Smith, who operated the property as a bed and breakfast until 1996, when Smith's daughter, Vicky Morgan, took up residency. It was Morgan who sold the table to the seller in 2005, after the makers of Control and Curtis' daughter Natalie both declined the offer of owning it.
The seller writes: "Clearly this table is a unique item and I have put a reserve on the Table which I think reflects its true worth. If it doesn't sell I will merely keep it."

Columnist deeply admires hometown of Hobart
By RaeAnn Trakas For the Post-Tribune January 23, 2013 1:54PM
Many thanks to the late, honorable Margaret Kuchta for sharing what Hobart meant to her for so many years through this column.
Margaret was much more than a columnist; she was a historian, the heart and soul of our city. I have big shoes to fill.
Although I won't have her knowledge of Hobart's fine history, I hope I can offer a glimpse of everything that makes Hobart such a great community.
What's my connection to Hobart? My parents grew up in Hobart and still reside here. I'm a Hobart High School graduate and now serve as the city's special events director.
My admiration runs deep for this city. I love that you can go anywhere in Hobart and run into someone you know, whether in the grocery store, restaurant or along the lake front.
There are so many things to do in this city; taking my kids to the Hobart Pool, hanging out at the Summer Market in Festival Park, dining downtown and shopping the U.S. 30 corridor. I look forward to sharing what Hobart has to offer with you.
Here are some upcoming events for you to enjoy:
Warm up and visit with friends at the Kiwanis chili supper. Jan Adams, chairperson of this year's Kiwanis chili supper, has announced that the doors will be open for this great Hobart tradition from 4 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 31.
As in the past, the supper will be held at the St. Bridget Catholic School gym, 107 Main St.
The menu includes chili, hot dogs, coleslaw, desserts and drinks. Tickets — $8 for adults, $4 for children — can be purchased at the Hobart Chamber of Commerce or at the door.
Relay For Life of Hobart will move to a new location this year, Mundell Field at 2N Wisconsin St. The event starts at 6 p.m. June 14 and concludes at 9 a.m. June 15.
Congratulations to Jon Mock for being chosen as this year's event chairperson. I couldn't think of a better person to organize and make this relay an event not to miss.
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost and fight back against the disease.
At the 2013 Relay, teams will camp out at Mundell Field and take turns walking around the track overnight, in observance that cancer never sleeps. To keep it a fun event, they will have a deejay, bands, games, fundraisers, food and more!
Visit www.relayforlife.org/hobartin to sign up or donate, or contact Jon Mock at 406-4924 or Wendy Mang at 241-2348.
February is just around the corner and it's almost time for Mama Mia's 26th annual Spaghetti Dinner, 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 28. Tickets are now on sale. Contact Leni at 942-5781 or Marge at 942-3559 to purchase tickets, become a sponsor or volunteer.
Contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com or leave me a message at 942-4511. I look forward to hearing from you!

The first Wii U game reviews have gone live across the gaming press.
In CVG's New Super Mario Bros. review, Alex Dale says of the platformer: "When New Super Mario Bros U is in full flight - be it a death-defying squirrel dive, the chaotic hilarity of a four-way snake block road trip, or a manic timed sprint through a crowd of Boos - it serves as a timely reminder of the Nintendo magic that, sooner or later, your wallet will find hard to resist."
Other New Super Mario Bros. U and Nintendo Land reviews have also gone live, and as always we've rounded them up and presented them for you below. [UPDATE: We've added more scores.]
New Super Mario Bros. U
- CVG: 8.3 - "You'll complete it in a weekend, but the challenges will keep you plugging away for months. Ol' Faithful delivers another strong 2D platformer without even breaking sweat."
- IGN: 9.1 - "For everything the basic Story Mode does right - and that's a considerable amount - the Challenge Mode will be remembered as a key moment in the life of the New Mario series, where Nintendo realized it didn't have to sacrifice the core gamer's experience at the expense of a more casual audience."
- Polygon: 8.5 - "New Super Mario Bros. U actually feels like it's from that era. It's where the series would have gone next if the transition to 3D had never happened, and it feels great to be back on that track."
- Games Radar: 4/5 - "New Super Mario Bros. U is more interested in making new memories than retreading the character's celebrated history. It's clear now that the team saved its best for NSMB U, and early Wii U owners should not pass that up."
- Kotaku: (No score) - "This is not a killer app, like The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was for the Wii so long ago. It's not the type of game you must play. It's a standard Super Mario Bros. game, easily consumable and always fun, even when it doesn't feel super fresh. It's just another Mario. Not that that's a bad thing."
- Joystiq: 4.5/5 - "The New Super Mario Bros. series may have taken the beloved Nintendo franchise back to its 2D roots, but New Super Mario Bros. U reintroduces what made the original games so good in the first place."
- Destructoid: 8.5 - "New Super Mario Bros. U is a great little platformer that kicks off the Wii U launch with a bang. Players know exactly what they're getting with this one -- an entertaining and incomplex bit of gaming that provides challenge and smirks in equal measure."
- Shack News: (No score) - "New Super Mario Bros U may not sell the Wii U by showing off the GamePad in any meaningful, innovative ways. Instead, it sells Nintendo's new hardware by simply being the best 2D Mario game since Yoshi's Island."
- 1UP: B+ - "NSMBU doesn't re-write the rules of platforming games, but it carefully balances enough of what works with a handful of new ideas that come together in the end."
- Venturebeat: 83 - "Judged in a universe where no other Mario games exist, New Super Mario Bros. U would easily be a triumph. As-is, it feels like a smaller effort, a checklist completed with recycled items."
- Official Nintendo Magazine: 86 - "Struggles to capture the creative spark of its NES/SNES ancestors, but this is a rock solid platforming elevated through a renewed focus on skilled play."
- Eurogamer: 9/10 - "Is the plumber's Wii U debut as good as his recent 3D outings? Not quite, but for the New Super Mario Bros. series, it's a real step forward in detailing, imagination and character."
- Digital Spy: 4/5 - "Outside of multiplayer, New Super Mario Bros. U offers little in the way of innovation, focusing instead on delivering tightly-designed levels, which look superb and can be played when the television is in use."
Nintendo Land
- IGN: 8.7 - "Nintendo Land is a brilliant show of what Nintendo's new console and tablet controller are capable of, and has far more depth and content then you'd expect from a mini-game collection."
- Kotaku: (No score) - "It's hard to assess how good or flawed Nintendo Land is. It's mostly a well-made if complicated game. If it's supposed to hook people on a convoluted console, it may falter. If it's supposed to delight Nintendo fans, it probably will without satiating them."
- 1UP: B+ - "Mileage for these attractions may vary, but Nintendo Lands delivers a fun title to keep you busy while friends and family visit during the upcoming holidays."
- Polygon: 8 - "This final view of a trinket-covered Nintendo Land is a metaphor for the game. It's massive, but disposable; grotesque, yet striking; commodified, but affecting. Not everything in Nintendo Land works, but what it does well, no one else is even trying."
- Joystiq: 4/5 - "Nintendo Land, then, is inherently targeted at a much narrower audience than its pack-in predecessor, Wii Sports. Whether you think that's a problem in the long term depends on how loudly you've decried Nintendo over the last six years for "abandoning" its core."
- Game Informer: 7.0 - "The question for Nintendo Land really comes down to longevity. Although I had an absolute blast playing Mario Chase for a few rounds, I'm already bored with it. With only a few similar standout games, the collection doesn't captivate as much as it could."
- Destructoid: 7.0 - "Those unconvinced about what the Wii U can do would benefit from finding themselves a way of trying out Nintendo Land. It manages to do a lot with the system without, I believe, even scratching the service of what more focused and dedicated videogames could achieve. "
- Games Radar: 3.5/5 - "As a whole, all 12 games contain enough variety to make Nintendo Land a perfectly satisfying way to familiarize yourself with the Wii U, but the reliance on Nintendo nostalgia is a blessing and a curse."
- Shack News: (No score) - "Nintendo Land was supposed to be the Wii Sports of the console: a showcase title that converted gamers and non-gamers alike to the Wii U experience. Instead, Nintendo Land is this generation's Wii Play: a shallow collection of mini-games bundled with Nintendo hardware--and promptly forgotten."
- Official Nintendo Magazine: 90 - "Nintendo might have begun to embrace the online world, but this is a clarion call for local multiplayer. Matching experimentation with (almost) consistently brilliant gameplay, this is as much a marker of what's to come as it is an excellent launch game."
- Eurogamer: 8/10 - "It's not just half a dozen great diversions and a few more besides; it's sweet fan service that celebrates Nintendo's catalogue with more heart and less calculation than we've seen of late."
- Digital Spy: 4/5 - "Nintendo Land is a completely unique game unlike anything else available on other consoles, combining the way the Smash Bros. games used Nintendo's history with the innovation of Wii Sports."

I'm a knowledge worker. I'm in Copenhagen, on business. My laptop is in Connecticut. And I'm OK with that.
Now let me preface this by saying as an analyst, I don't cover client computing, or PCs or tablet computers. I'm writing this as Joe Knowledge Worker. Even so, I'm going to avoid using product brand names. I'm not promoting a specific product. But I am promoting a new way of getting things done.
I know I'm not the first to have this aha moment, and that's a bit of a sore point with me. I still have a working 8080 system from the early 1970s. I bought IBM's first PC when it came out. I bought IBM's first laptop computer – the PC Convertible – in 1986 (and yes, still have it and it still works). I jumped on the Palm Pilot as soon as it was available. I consider myself an early adopter. When it comes to tablet computers, however, my son is the early adopter and the pioneer. He's been using his tablet computer in high school for a year now, and trying to convince me that it would work for me, too. I didn't see it then, but I do now.
I tried it, on two business trips. The first one, I pulled out the tablet computer and played a little with it. Still, I did most of my work on the laptop. Second trip, my laptop battery died on a flight. I wrote a complete research note on the tablet. Suddenly, work was getting done, and without a laptop.
I'm in love. I love the lo-ong battery life. I love the tactile user interface. I love the super-thin size and portability. These three are huge for a traveler.
There are trade-offs. A physical keyboard is helpful, but I'm finding that to be a non-issue, and possibly more of a rut than a need. A DVD player is nice to watch shows when away from home – but Netflix works just fine instead. A data warehouse on a hard disk is nice, but do I really need all of those files with me? Cloud storage works great when I'm connected – which is very often – and I have plenty of memory for offline files. Showing presentations? I have the adaptor, and it works perfectly.
I'm an inveterate planner and organizer. Spreadsheets and lists that used to live on my laptop don't live there anymore. It's all on the tablet. Frankly, at this point, there are only a few things that really require my laptop – and I'm working to reduce that, too.
So, I'm in Europe and away from the office for four days, and work has not stopped, and I'm not searching every airport for outlets to give my laptop a little more juice, and my backpack is extremely light (and probably unnecessary now), and I may actually do more "knowledge work" on my tablet computer on this trip than I would have with a laptop. And, of course, I've just posted my first blog entry from my tablet.
I've only had this device for about three weeks, but I suspect that bringing the laptop on trips will be the exception going forward. Not quite an early adopter – but I'm all in now.

How to rank high on Google search engine is a subject learned in Naugle SEO Tutorial. How to rank high on Google search engine is what all internet marketers desire. When you understand the algorithm of Google search engine then all that is left is to implement the guidelines that are presented to website optimization techniques and traffic is one of them. How to rank high on Google search engine is obtained by excellent SEO strategies. So you want free massive traffic coming to your website and we all do; but how can we obtain free traffic if our websites are not ranked on the first page of Google and the other search engines? The goal is free traffic so that we can produce a high profit when we sell products or services from our websites. Well did you know that free traffic comes with a price? How to rank high on Google search engine is pertinent to sales.Rank High On Google Website Ranking When your website is ranked low on the search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing then the amount of free traffic will be very little to none. You could start an email campaign and bring many visitors to your website and rank high on Google but the cost involved in that is very high. The answer is very simple for all who want free visitors and that is to buy it in order to rank. That's right I said we need to purchase traffic in order to get it for free. Think about it for a second. This is something that is taught in Naugle SEO Formula (Tutorial). You see part of what the search engine algorithm entails is that the websites that have much traffic coming to them will rank higher on the search engines. The search engines deem websites as being more important when many visitors come to that site especially when they scroll thru your site, click on links and even more when that buy a service or product. This sometimes is an overlooked aspect of SEO (search engine optimization). Purchasing traffic in order to boost your website rankings is one of the most effective ways to rank high and faster on Google and the other search engines. Rank High On Google Website Ranking How To Rank High On Google Search EngineSo how to you purchase traffic and how much is needed? There are some great places to buy website traffic and you can see the banners below. It would be good to have about 10,000 visitors per month or even more if your ranking category is very competitive. You may need to buy traffic for 2 or 3 months and even 6 months in order to rank your website high enough so that you will have free massive traffic. The more traffic the better to rank high on Google. Buying website traffic can be about as expensive as buying backlinks. Naugle SEO Tutorial covers all aspects of search engine optimization and is a great piece of information in knowing how to rank high on Google.

About the Journal
Open Anthropology, the first digital-only, public journal of the American Anthropological Association (AAA), is a pilot experiment envisioned as a way of "opening up" anthropology in several ways. First, the new online publication helps bring anthropology into the public conversation about critical social issues and policy debates. Each edition of Open Anthropology will focus on a timely theme, offering a selection of articles relevant to contemporary concerns. By means of Open Anthropology, we hope anthropological knowledge, information and insights will figure more prominently in public discussions. Second, the journal introduces nearly the full archive of AAA journals, past and current-the online "stacks," so to speak-to potential readers who may not even know these exist. Content in Open Anthropology will be culled from the full archive of participating AAA publications, and curated into editions. Third, each edition of Open Anthropology is made available free on the public Internet for a minimum of six months permitting any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search or link to the full text of the articles in each edition. Content published 35 years ago and longer will remain free on the public Internet in perpetuity; book reviews in Open Anthropology will also remain available on the Internet without cost to readers. Finally, by means of "The Editor's Note," anthropology is opened up to the non-specialist reader by drawing attention to key issues or themes raised in the selected articles (some of which are written in highly technical language), and by identifying each article source-across time and subspecialties of the field-the author, the specialty journal, and the journal's sponsoring section.
About the Editor
Alisse Waterston is Professor, Department of Anthropology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York. Professor Waterston is author of the intimate ethnography, My Father's Wars: Migration, Memory, and the Violence of a Century, and two ethnographies on urban poverty in the US (Love, Sorrow and Rage: Destitute Women in a Manhattan Residence and Street Addicts in the Political Economy, and of the edited volumes An Anthropology of War: Views from the Frontline and Anthropology off the Shelf: Anthropologists on Writing (co-edited with Maria D. Vesperi). Alisse Waterston is a Soros International Scholar affiliated with Tbilisi State University in Gender Studies. She is President-elect of the American Anthropological Association, to serve as its Vice President (2014-2015) and President in 2016-2017.

Would you give someone your own beating heart so they may live?
That is the question Doctor Paul Vieyra will have to ask himself as his world comes crashing down around him, and the ghost of those who died on his operating table haunt his mind.
R.L. King was born in Grants Pass, Oregon, in 1978. King grew up in a poor mountain town. He and his family lived in an old school bus and shared an outhouse. They did not have a television until Reagan was re-elected.
King is the author of Two Bad Men (2005), Parallel You (2006), and Dead Heart (2007). These novels were created at the request of his friend who needed something good to read. King also published two short stories in 2010, for publishing credentials: The Tell-Tale Soul and The Water-Grave Redemption.
R.L. King currently resides in Oklahoma City, and works in the precious metals industry. He continues to write as late as he can most nights.
My main interest is books. Reading, writing, collecting, discussing our favorites, and everything else that goes along with books. I know all writers talk about reading a lot of books, but I am surprised no one has given me an intervention. I read like if I do it enough, that someday I will get an award and a special day for it. If I do get a day after me, please don't let it be Monday.
I also collect. I have all kinds of books. I have memory cards full of E-books, hardbacks and softcover, and my personal favorites, the rare first edition. There is nothing like the smell of an old book. When I get one on my shelf, it calls to me if I don't read it soon enough. It catches my eye when I walk by, and it tells me that it wants to tell its story just one more time. Who can resist?
Although I have not been able to go in years, I love surfing. It is the only good reason to get up early in the morning. If you have never seen the sunrise from inside the blue water of a perfect wave, then you might miss out on your chance to see something truly awesome.

At Watermark, we recognise that our business is part of a wider community, both locally and globally. As such, we believe that we have a responsibility to try and make a difference to more than just our bottom line.
Just like our company, our philanthropic history stretches back over 150 years. Today, we constantly strive to make the most of the opportunities we have as an organisation by providing assistance where possible and putting in to practice our belief in a more environmentally sustainable future.
Our Employee Volunteering program allows every employess two paid days each year to donate their time to a community initiative of their choosing.
For example, a large group of employees volunteered as part of the clean-up operation following the Victorian bush fires in 2009, after being touched by the tragic stories of a Watermark colleague who hid with her grandchildren in a wine cellar. They were set to work assisting in the rebuilding of fences, coming away overwhelmed by the scale of the job ahead but heartened by the fantastic spirit of those affected.
We appreciate that the legal expertise we hold within our company is a valuable commodity and that this is one the best ways that we can give something back. "Pro bono" is a term that is used to describe the provision of services for no fee, or at a reduced fee. Through pro bono work, Watermark has the opportunity to assist disadvantage persons or organisations, providing legal services they could not otherwise afford.
Our lawyers and attorneys have gained a great deal of satisfaction through assisting not-for-profit organisations with the management of their intellectual assets including:
St Laurence Community Services Inc. is a community based, not-for-profit organisation providing support services to a range of people and communities in southern and western Victoria, Australia.

The SOAP AID™ project is the brainchild of Concept Amenities Pty Ltd, a manufacturer and supplier of environmentally friendly bath and body products for the hotel and hospitality industry. The SOAP AID project was launched in Australia in July 2012 and aims to improve sanitation for many people around the globe who are impoverished and suffer from hygiene related illnesses.
Every day, thousands of hotels around the world discard millions of pieces of soap, which often ends up in already overflowing landfills. By collecting waste soap from hotels worldwide, reprocessing it to make new bars of soap and distributing the soap to where it is most needed in impoverished countries, the SOAP AID initiative can help make a significant contribution - protecting the environment and potentially saving countless human lives through improved sanitation. To learn more about Soap Aid please visit: SoapAid.org
The Snowdome Foundation (Snowdome) was set up in Australia in late 2009 with the primary focus of raising funds for research and local clinical trials to deliver new and advanced therapies to patients in Australia with blood cancers (lymphoma, leukaemia and multiple myeloma).
Snowdome identified an unmet need in the treatment of blood cancers and a gap in access to new therapies for Australian patients. Currently, access to new therapies in Australia is by recruitment into multi centre clinical trials that are typically sponsored by global pharmaceutical companies. While this is a valid model there can be limited opportunity for recruitment of patients in Australia.
Through the efforts of its Steering Committee and its CEO, Snowdome is already supporting a number of local clinical trials led by very experienced Australian experts who are global leaders in this ground breaking area of blood cancer. It is hoped that the innovative approach taken by Snowdome will translate to new paradigms of treatment for patients with blood cancers. Watermark is proud to support Snowdome by providing office accommodation for the foundation and pro bono IAM services. To find out more about the foundation please visit: SnowdomeFoundation.com

I have honestly searched but could not find answers to my questions.
What font clearance do dish drawers require? A regular DW needs at least 25" for the door to fully open. I am hoping that the drawers need less. I have been wanting a drawer DW *forever* for obvious reasons discussed in many posts here. We are a family of 3 and unless I am cooking multiple meals at once, it takes more than a day to fill the DW, so it starts smelling bad, so we run the DW less than half-full on most days. The Top Rack option does not help as the dinner plates and most of pots and pans do not fit there. And when I do cook for a "week", all the dishes and cookware do not fit the DW anyway, so we need to do two loads. Also, DH unloads and loads the dishes at night, so they wait all day taking up counter space and sink space. I think that having two drawers would help with that. However, every appliance manager we have talked to told us that having only drawers will impact the re-sale as people want a full-size DW. And, if we need to run a full-load, it means running two separate motors, doesn't it? Which means more energy use. Could someone address these concerns? What are the other cons? TIA! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Depends on the model. F&P varies from 21-7/8" (recessed handle model) to 23-1/16" (handle model). That is the full extension of the drawer from the position of the front panel when closed. A potential buyer could replace the drawer model with a standard type for a few hundred dollars, so resale is really not a consideration, especially once the washer is a few years old. You'll have to do your own research on energy, but I doubt that is likely to be much of a consideration. On ajmadison.com, you can find specifications and installation instructions on many appliances. |
Dish drawers are cool and can only help resale. People might later decide they don't like them, but they are definitely not a turnoff. I've sold two. :( Just measured my FP (~1.5 years old, tall tub model, recessed handle) and it comes out ~21 inches. The big difference, though, is that if you walk into it, it doesn't leave your shin bleeding. :) And you don't have to open it very far to stick in a fork. You can close it with your foot or hip. I have not checked energy consumption but those data are available. If you're already running half loads, it might end up being an energy (and water) saver for you regardless. |
I too have a F&P ...I love how it cleans and constantly amazed at how quiet it is ....I have had since dec and love it ...I highly recommend it ... |
Thank you! I have been always curious about the resale thing. In every house we bought, the DW was was old and sort of ugly and was always the first thing to break - to my delight as I was "dying" to replace them - without any interference on my part, LOL. It never stopped me from buying the house. It is so easy to replace a DW, why would it be a deal-breaker for anyone? Yes, FP tall tub one sounds like a great option! There are some critical reviews on AJMadison website from people saying the DW does not clean. Do you think they just got defective units (as two of you and other reviewers loved theirs)? |

Do any of you with the tall tub have two drawers or only one? My kitchen also has a clearance problem and I was considering one FP tall tub. I'm in my sixties, live alone and do not really need a second drawer but thought resale might be an issue. My current dishwasher consists of two hands. :-) I didn't mean to hijack this thread, but my question seems closely related to the OP. Thanks. |
I'm sure a Bosch would have fewer dirty dish rejects but the ergonomics make it so I don't care. You do need to learn to load or stuff won't get clean. But they're perfectly acceptable DWs. Not super awesomely quiet either, but certainly not bad. Beanie, you might as well get a double and not use the lower one (or set it up for pots). The cabinetry cost to go under a single is probably greater than a double drawer. If resale is really a concern, I'd do that. (The resale issue probably depends on the type of community, size of home, etc.) |
No opinions about critical reviews? |
Dishwashers are among the most "personal" of major appliances in terms of usage habits and performance expectations ... so there will always be a wide range of reviews on any given machine. My DD603 is 9+ years, no repairs needed thus far. It fits my needs quite nicely. They don't "fit the style" so well of people who do a lot of cooking and baking and need or want to run large serving trays, stockpots, cookie sheets and such through their dishwasher. A few large items may fit at a time but not several with a full load of other dishware. Some serious cooks may prefer to handwash bakeware, so there's that. |

dadoes -- I've read many of your posts about the dish drawer and really appreciate learning about your experience. There are so many mixed reviews, though recent models seem to get more favorable reviews. I'll probably buy the single tall drawer. Thanks again. |
Thank you! |

Vern (Dwarf Nigerian Goat)
- Breed: Dwarf Nigerian Goat
- Sex: Male
- Age: 3 years, 10 months old
- Dam: Moxie
- Sire: Emmett
- ID: 4493f5592d
- Offspring: 0
- Breeder: Timberwyck Farm
- Owner: Rob Manner
- Polled: No
- Coat color: Brown
- Eye color: Blue
Vern was born with a sister, Equinox, who did not make it. He was the first kid (in fact animal of any sort) born at Timberwyck under our direction, and for that reason he's pretty special. He is currently intact, but his future is a date with the emasculatome and eventually to be a companion whether to our buck, Emmett, or whoever replaces him.
- Nov. 20, 2011
We castrated Vern using the "side crusher" from Premier 1. He kicked a bit during the procedure and was sore for about a day or two afterward but has otherwise come through fine. It was a little later than we would have liked, but we also felt good that his urethra was well developed well before we took his sperm-making ability.
