- GO....I am not going anywhere
- February 08, 2012 - 19:41
I am not sure where you think I am going, but I am not going anywhere. I love Canada, and will continue to stay here an collect cheques from my US offices. I declare my income, pay taxes and enjoy my home. Civilization will definately continue without me, but until I am gone, I will continue to operate my businesses as I see fit while charging businesses hundreds of dollars per hour to advise them how to outsource work, offshore jobs and untimately do more work by paying less wages.

I say scrap the OAS and enhance the GIS. OAS is redundant, costly and ineffective. It is not targeted to poor seniors - Seniors with up to $67,000 annual net income receive the full amount of OAS, and those with up to $112,000 receive a reduced amount. Why should taxpayers be forced to give money to these relatively wealthy seniors? Save money by scrapping the OAS and increasing the GIS, which is truly targeted toward lower-income seniors.
- IF you want to exclude wealthy seniors
- February 09, 2012 - 07:26
If you want to cut wealth seniors out, then be sure to NOT take their money. Social services are great when the benefit, but a system where one pays for a service that they cannot use is unjust and essentially theft. I would rather see the whole system abolished rather than pay into a system I cannot use. Taxpayers should be forced to give payments to everyone who pays into the system...Arguable, the low income seniors have paid LESS into the system, yet you think they should get the most. I have a big problem with this position.

While LANE is quite within his right to voice his opinion, for him to suggest scrapping the OAS altogether is ridiculous. Seniors with up to $67,000 net income, or those with income up to $112,000 suffer clawbacks..which in reality, I can see that, BUT if a Senior is earning $112,000. they truly don't need the OAS, yet on the other hand, very likely they were smart by contributing to RRSP's, investments, etc rather than spending their money needlessly. Should be punished for this??. NO WAY!!! There are thousands upon thousands of people who were not earning enough money to be able to contribute to RRSP's, investments, etc. They needed every dollar to support themselves & their families. There are other ways to alleviate the pressure on the OAS, but penalizing innocent people is not the way to go. There are reports after reports than quote facts & figures, stating that the OAS IS sustainable. People are starting to panic...and rightly so.

The OAS is universal, the GIS is based on income NOT assets. A wealthy retiree with a clever tax shelter might get both. However seniors on subsistance incomes in their own house with or without a mortgage pay no tax to the Fed/Prov govs - nice, fair - but are nailed on Municipal Property tax even though they use minimal town services. Well maybe they could sell their home -but real estate is the same as the stock market - valuation is not cash, if everybody sells the value crashes and they may not pay any capital gains tax anyway. It is not a matter whether the system is broken or not - it is vulnerable and it is plan "B" if public pension funds, (R)RSP's tied to the stock market fail. Harper know this. Change HAS to come. Make his day.

Again, the point is missed all around. Until you change how money works, you can change nothing. FIAT currency, Fractional Reserve Banking and Compound interest need to end. The banking elite need to lose their monopoly on the worlds monetary systems and people need to take a stand and back their currencies with tangible things like Gold or Oil. You can't create more money than there is energy to service that debt. Money is Debt. Plain and simple. If you don't know what money is than how can you debate whether we should pay more or less taxes. We wouldn't have taxes at all only for the fact that the sum of every canadian dollar is less than amount owed to the central banks who loaned us that money at interest. This is slavery without chains and Harper is a massa, so is bernanke, so is Obama etc. etc.

All we need to do is double the taxation on corporations.
- Carl
- February 08, 2012 - 17:54
Great idea. Then corporations will flee Canada, pay their taxes in other countries, and also lay off hundreds of thousands of taxpaying workers, leaving Canada broke. It's horrifying that some people think raising tax rates through the roof always results in more revenues. So often the opposite is the case.
- State funded retirement is broken, so I keep my money out of the pool
- February 08, 2012 - 07:53
From the artice: "Corporations must pay less taxes. Unions must have less leverage..... "how to protect everyone else from the tsunami of geezers that's about to crash on our shores and suck the wealth of future generations out to sea."............................................................The two above points raise serious concerns. First, corporations must pay less taxes. I move jobs out of Canada becuase I pay less takes in the US. WHy would I pay more whenI could pay less? I wont. Second, unions must have less leverage. Right again. Not only do I not want to negotiate with unions, I don't want to spend time negotiating, and don't want to pay negotiatiors. I just want to list the wage as a take-it or leave it, and those who take it will work, and those who don't will not work. Canada give unions legal right to force me to spend MY money of negotiating and negotiators, so I choose not to operate in Canada. Lastly, the pension system is broken....the will be more people collecting than paying. SO what I have done is set my self as a contractor and set up an EPSP Trust.....so instead of putting my money in a pool that is shared among Canadians, MY money goes into a pool that is just for me. That way, I control the investments, and rather than contributing to a pool for everyone, I am in a pool just for me. That means that when the boomers break the pension system, I will be unaffected.

So the New York Rangers have extended the contract of Henrik Lundqvist for seven years, with an average annual cap hit of 8.5 million dollars. Ho-lee Betsy is that a big chunk of change.
If you're defending the deal you point out that the cap is going up. You point out that goalies who average .920 save percentages over long periods of time aren't easy to find. You point out that he's basically the face of the Rangers, your fans would kill you if you let him walk as a UFA, and you'd have to find a replacement. Cam Talbot has started out just fine, but there's certainly no guarantee there. He's elite, and you gotta lock up elite.
If you're opposed… 8.5 million! For a goalie! What's the difference between a good and bad goalie, a few goals here and there? That money could be better spent. You can get quality goaltending for less. What long-term deal for a goalie has ever really panned out? Didn't they take into account his age decline? He's gonna be so old by the end of this deal!
Rask and Rinne currently have the highest AAV at seven mill a season. Henrik now blows them out of the water at $8.5.
All these things are playing out on Twitter:
I know the Rangers might get criticized for the term/money but what else are they going to do? Let Lundqvist walk July 1? Then what?
— Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) December 4, 2013
Lundqvist obviously isn't as bad as he's been. Contract might clear his head. But how good will he be at end of deal?
— Nick Cotsonika (@cotsonika) December 4, 2013
Seven years, $8.5M AAV is the tax due the King, though. He wasn't coming cheap. And cap is going up, waaaaay up.
— Nick Cotsonika (@cotsonika) December 4, 2013
This is not a good deal for NYR. When was last time a long-term deal (5yr+) for a goalie worked out?
— Neil Greenberg (@ngreenberg) December 4, 2013
Since 1967, 26 times has a starter aged 31+ posted a save pct of .920 or better in a season: http://t.co/HxDXgWbv0v
— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) December 4, 2013
Lundqvist's career average in .920. He's certainly in the class of elite guys listed here.
— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) December 4, 2013
I'd love to have a really great black and white take here – this is terrible, this is amazing – but it feels like neither to me. I'm definitely leaning towards the side saying "It's not a great deal," because he'd have to stay this dominant for a lot of years to justify that dough. And, if you're flat-out building a team to win Cups, paying a huge chunk to an aging goalie has yet to be proven as the smartest play.
Rangers have $23 million locked into three players for the following four years. Their average age will be 35 that last year.
— Rob Vollman (@robvollmanNHL) December 4, 2013
That's not ideal.
There are certainly goaltenders you can point to who had success as they got older (Tim Thomas comes to mind. Brodeur, Luongo still effective), and I truly am of the belief that the numbers (success with age, I mean) are going to change with this current crop of elite goaltenders. Players are better longer now thanks to a better knowledge of training and nutrition, which is why we seem to be surprised every year when a guy like Teemu Selanne has a good year after 40, or Jaromir Jagr, or Ray Whitney, or Daniel Alfredsson, or on and on and on. Athletes bodies are better built to succeed later now.
But again, there is some real concern there, especially with how many games Lundqvist has played per season. That cap hit is going to be a real albatross if he slowly slinks below league average in a couple years and stays there.
The reality is that Lundqvist had the Rangers over a barrel. He was going to be an unrestricted free agent this summer, and lord knows he was getting That Deal or beyond on the open market. He's only 31, not 37. Someone was paying him. So, there's no reason for him to take a deal for four-five years, there's no reason for him to take a five million dollar-a-year salary. What he's done in the past warranted him getting paid, and he was going to get it.
So if you're the Rangers, do you let this guy who's been amazing for your team through the good and bad walk? Do you trade him at the deadline? What's he worth to your franchise in other ways? What's your backup plan if you don't sign him? How much cheaper is another elite goalie, which every team wants to have?
In a vaccuum, placed beside other goaltender deals, you may not love the Lundqvist contract, and you're justified in that. But I think the Rangers had to extend him, and with that, comes paying him what he's worth. That's what happens in sports. You can be a stud at 20, but you don't get paid back for those entry-level years until you're older and can prove you can sustain it. Henrik was at that point in his career – that payday point – so I think Rangers are at least justified in their decision to be the guys who pay him.
The whole idea of signing players to smart contracts is that at some point, you have money to pay the elite guys you need.

text: While we've already heard Archnemesis provide a proper glitch-ed out remix of "Backseat Freestyle," King goes for a straight trap rerub of damn near every element of the track. It's great to hear Kendrick spit a bar, then have King take that part and just dice it up in between his re-worked instrumental, as if each piece he singles out is a verse of it's own. Superb dismantling and reconstruction, King.

Aries Woman and Taurus Man Compatibility
Famous Aries-Taurus Couples: Victoria Adams (Posh Spice) and David Beckham; Ellen Barkin and Gabriel Byrne ; Karen Blixen and Denys Fitch-Hatton
This pair gets our vote for the most self-contained, independent, and self-sufficient pair of the entire zodiac. They focus on their personal lives, needs, desires, and wishes, almost to the exclusion of the outside world. There can be a high degree of stubbornness or stick-to-it-iveness depending on how they use the energy. These two can accomplish a lot together by their ability to focus, but the danger of drifting apart is also very real since neither sign is good at sharing or merging energy with others.
How to Attract a Taurus Man as an Aries Woman: This should be a breeze for an Aries gal. Not only do you want to do all the work, you have to do all the work. The Taurus male expects ripe fruit to fall off the branch into his waiting hand. Honestly, we can't imagine him taking a step outside his daily routine to meet and greet possible love matches. On the other hand, he will be thrilled if you chase him, track him down, get his office number, interrupt him during the day, offer to take his car to the wash, or bake him a pie and bring it by work. Aries is the ultimate active model and Taurus is the ultimate stick in the mud.
How to Attract an Aries Woman as a Taurus Man: You have an inner strength and calm demeanor that an Aries woman will find appealing once she notices it. Your sensuality will also be a big draw. Let her see you engaged in some sort of physical task, showing off that bull physique and she'll be eating out of your hands in no time. While you set up the honey trap, be sure to let her think it's all her idea. She feels more comfortable being in the lead.
Degree of Romance: This partnership is not noted for a high degree of romance but rather practicality and action. The energy is oriented towards accomplishing personal goals, earning money, achieving success, and maintaining possessions. When combined, neither sign particularly trusts the illusion of romance and prefers the demonstration of interest and emotion.
Degree of Passion: There can be a very high degree of passion in this partnership because Aries had plenty of flames and Taurus can bank them. Love making should be particularly spectacular with long sustained heights of passion and endurance till exhaustion. Both of these signs are very physical in nature, and the aggression of Aries is beautifully complemented by the sensuality of Taurus. The only problem we foresee is if the sexual urges are mismatched because these two signs are noted for furious tempers when frustrated.
Degree of Friendship: There can be a pretty good degree of friendship between these two if they are willing to walk side by side together down the road of life, stopping to smell the flowers and choosing some they both like to make a beautiful bouquet.
Degree of Marriage: We think this is a good bet for marriage if both partners are somewhat extroverted and oriented toward success, material well-being, nice possessions and accomplishments. They may not make the best parents in the zodiac, but they will take good care of their children, as well as their homes, cars, and careers. These two are among the most possessive of the twelve astrological signs. If the marriage is structured as a possession, it must be maintained, so there is a high probability of success.
Progression of Relationship: This relationship should probably hit the deck running and build at a good, steady pace to a climax. Neither of these signs is willing to waste energy on a risky emotional investment and each tends to make their intentions clear. Communication is fairly forthright, and it should become obvious very quickly whether there is any point in continuing or not.
When It's Over: The problem with this combination is that neither one may recognize when the relationship is over, so it's best to look outside for confirmation. If the fighting becomes continual, ask a friend with good judgment what they think. Aries could get stuck trying to be right, and Taurus can get stuck stubbornly resisting change. That's a very bad combination in a break up scene. It split can drag on for years and years, while other innocent bystanders suffer. It reminds us of the African proverb "When elephants fight, it's the grass that suffers."
Our Rating: 7/10
72 Responses to Aries Woman and Taurus Man Compatibility
Im inlove with a taurus man… we'll we both inlove <3 and now we're going to get marry…
one thing for sure…. just believe in your love, believe in your partners and everything will be ok… dont foresee or believe in some thing that can dictate you and build images in your mind for which it will become reality… if you love your man/woman, no matter what kind of zodiac he/she is, it doesnt matter as long as you both work it out… because no one can tell you what to do, who she/he is, whether to stop or continue.. its just you and your partner.. work it out believe in it, trust on it… then everything will be perfect
and to believe we are hundred miles away, we are in long distance relation, but we finally work it out because we chose to work it out…
I agree that the Aries woman/Taurus man pair is self-contained, independent, and self-sufficient. We do focus on our personal lives, needs, desires, and wishes, and the rest of the world is almost non esistent, except when we want it to be there! We work very well together, and have similar drive and common goals and interests. We feel that we can accomplish anything together!
I have found that my Taurus man was thrilled when I chased him (and still is). He loves that i think about him during the day, interrupt him during the day, offer to take his car (or bike) to get washed, or cook for him and his friends. Acts of kindness are high on his "love language" (The 7 Love Languages). My Taurus gentleman indeed has an inner strength and calm demeanor that this Aries woman finds attractive. He is strong AND sensitive!
I find that my Taurus man is really pretty romantic. We are so much alike. We think alike, anticipate alike, expect alike; even finish each other's sentences. With the romance also comes the passion, where we also connect very well. Taurus, you are very passionate!
My Taurus man is my best friend! We are both excited to walk side by side together down the road of life. We look forward to every day together. When we have to spend the day or night apart, it is like an eternity! We are like school kids, waiting to see one another again; and my Taurus man is in his 50′s – we're certainly not school kids! We are still very much alive, however and bring out our innter child.
We are planning to be married in 2012. We have both been married previously, so we are objective and realistic about the idea/commitment. We are however, very much in love and old fashioned in the sense that we want to share the committment and bond of marriage with one another. I have no doubt, that we will be married for the rest of our lives. I have waited my entire adult years, to find this man. He is not perfect (nor am I), but he is perfect for me!
I think the Aries woman / Taurus man combination is perfect… at least it is for me!
My Aries is wondering now after 9 months if i am single or have a gf .
she even made in her little head a scenario about my imaginary new gf
she said she does not know why she feels thisany ideas
Aries woman here been with my Taurus man for so many years. five years after we met we broke for a period of time and then started over. you shake off the cobwebs that are trailing you all the time. the past will alwys be there as a stage in life. then there is a newstage with a new beginning. my bull understoof that and that was eight years ago and he didn't lose faith ever. the romance is still there. aries and taurus really can be practical and romantic too. he does have innner strength a lot of it but i don't agree that there is no romance. thereis romance well into the golden years!
omg I've been breaking up with my taurus, who was also my first love, for about 4 years. lol It was so hard for us to admit it was over because for so long we just knew that we would be together in the end. I spent so many years being his love interest I did not know how to just be his friend. He is awesome and worth the effort. The break up took me through a rollercoaster of emotions. But we are in a better place now.
My aries called me to say she is going to get help for her depression.
I am the only one who knows this, not even her parents…..
Any thoughts?
Been apart 9 months -
taurus man is so stingy tight fisted. there not good at talking either. So much cross communication. talking of different things. Of course to be expected after so long (5 yrs of togetherness.)its alright. doesnt matter. i moved on and he did too. i found a gentle libra man and he a flashy gem.
I am an aries woman and friend with benfeit with taurus man. hes so lovely. whenever i feel like some compamny missed him i would call him and tra lalala he would show up. he is so good i am tinking we be more than fwb. i wouldnt part withmy taurs guy for the world.
I am an Aries who is falling for a Taurus guy. I feel like hes the one and he know hes the one but hes too stubborn. I have gotten so impatient because i feel the chase will never end and he keeps dragging me along. The only time there is passion or a little bit of romance is when he feels im done dealing with him or when hes ready to be wooed. UGH!!! I want to give up and just move on hopefully he sees that i am in love with him… I dont wanna let go go but i may have to because it hurts that he is NOT quick to respond to my hints or love suggestions.I tell him how i feel and yet he says hes not ready and then he kisses me, says hey bae, or teases me with sexual guestures. Im so done with being teased!!!! I want to give up but another part of me want to show him that i am willing to go the distance with him. If only he would open up and let our love flow. So emotionally confused…
I completely fell in love with a Taurus man, in only a 6 month relationship with him. Things started differently, we had an attraction that quickly took us to bed. After months, I ended up pregnant and he was willing to take care of a family. Unfortunately things did not go as planned and our child is no longer here. He was always reserved, hardly saw emotion from him. But he was a sweetheart. Always took care of me. I got annoyed after some time, of seeing his absent emotions. So I tested the waters that bit me. I ended things with him, without reason. We were texting and suddenly he said he'd leave me alone, I asked if I shouldn't expect a text from him, he replied if that's what I wanted, then he said, "have a nice life". I never replied after, hoping he'd text me the next day. But he didn't, I did. Me thinking he'd apologize, I went on.. while he moved on. After 3 weeks, I texted him again, hoping we could see each other. But he rapidly denied, saying I was not paying attention to him, so he moved on. I am devastated. I even admitted to him at that I had fallen in love with him but that I never wanted to tell him. Did not change his mind.. he moved on. Now I see him sometimes at work. but we don't talk. He said I should hope "we get to cross paths once more down the road". I love him, with all my heart. How can I get him back? – I just dont wanna beg him, or bother him any longer.
My Dear Aeries,
You got to beg……All the whileeeeeeee,…………………..But He s Reallllllllly worth begging -
Dear Vmix, just make a cake for him. It will work, really I promise you. At least with me it would …
Best wishes, anyways. -
Too late.. he is seeing someone else. I text him valiantly only to receive a response saying this person was currently with him. Oh well.

Aries, I don't think any guy is worth so much pain and tears, no matter what. It's that wall that us females have to get over. I am almost in the same situation, the main difference is mine is with a Sagittarius. I have decided to let go of him. Because I allowed myself to view the world differently without him, I have found the most amazing guy ever who is a Taurus. Try to let go for a little while and see what life can bring you. This kind of situation can mean a lot of things. Try leaving him alone for about 30 days. Before you leave him alone for 30 days, lay everything out! Tell him how you feel and everything, and how you want and feel that you need him. After you lay it out, don't talk to him for 30 days. That gives him a chance to have his space and think about things for just a little while. When your 30 days is up, then you do what you think you should do. I can't advise you past that though. I hope this helped.
so we drifted apart my gorgeous Taurus man n i. idk what happened. i gave a lot of creedom when he want ed it.i want him to be happy not crush his spirit. i guess the best way to learn is to live life yurself. life is song of joy …if you are on the right frequency. i was fine n had no problems but hes v mechanical n dull so somewhere it didn't gel with me too . what ever. gudluck yall.

@ Taken2011 your lucky. Ive never been chased. not by a real person at least. stalked and spied on. maybe. pursued, no. Pursuit presumes a real person in front of you who is actually communicating with you and offering you something. affection maybe? Taurus man is stingy with love and his moolah. who else would buy munchkins for breakfast for a bunch of people? they want to be hundred percent before parting with their precious love and hold it to theire chest tightly like some treasure that the other person must pass several tests for before being awarded it. get real. nothing is certain in life. theres as much uncertaintly on the womans side too. the difference is being able to trust oneself – to do the right thing for oneself and the other. somehow they tend to feel sorry for themselves far too much and wallow in it far too long with the ex whose done them wrong. I say get with it. your loe was just not what she needed to keep her going. your money is not going to cut it either. its true she may not take one but help herself to the other. yep that's wrong. feel better? now grow up if you want to deal with a woman who has some integrity if not anything else.
so good to be with a tauras man.. he's so charming.. n comfortable to be with well m An Aries and strongly attracted to this tauras… I fell for him first on his looks but as time went oni found out everything about him is attractive.. he does what he says.. words he says everything is so magical… even when he scolds, things look cute.. he knows how to make a girl happy.. he is a real guy..As my sign reflects independence but I won't mind being in control for a guy like him
seriously he's so worthy of everything… he keeps on informing what he's up to so that I dont create any doubt he pays attention that most of us Aries crave.. he is all in all a sweet person… love life going great with this man
It's awesome to pay a quick visit this web site and reading
the views of all colleagues on the topic of this piece of writing, while I am
also zealous of getting knowledge. -
I started a friends with benefit relationship with a Taurus male. Two years later, I am madly in love with him. He is so perfect or as close to perfect as any man can be. With a Taurus male, he's not going to tell u, he love u but he will show it. He is the best I ever had in the bedroom and the sweetest man I've ever know. Yes, I would love for him to say all the thing a women would live to hear but I had to learn him showing me is better! I would not give up my Malcolmfor anything in the world!

Sundown: Jewish News for Italians
Happy Columbus Day! Plus, Abbas flipped, the Coens dissed, and Potok staged
• Italy has a new publication, Pagine Ebraiche (Jewish Pages), that aims "to speak to the external world, not the internal Jewish world." In other words, it's a Jewish paper for non-Jewish Italians—who, apparently, care! [JTA]
• Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who kowtowed to pressure from the United States and Israel to postpone an investigation into the accusation of Israeli war crimes in the Goldstone Report, has reverted to kowtowing to pressure from his constituents (and, perhaps, from Hamas), and is now calling for immediate action. [NYT]
• When the Coen brothers consulted Markle Karlen, "the most vital and fluent member of the local Jewish Community Center's Yiddish club" on the Yiddish section of their script for A Serious Man, he deemed it "the usual shtetl shtick. A woodchopper. A poor old woman. A dybbuk. Who needs it." [WP]
• A Bay Area critic spends most of his review of a theatrical production of Chaim Potok's novel The Chosen retelling the plot, but it seems like he liked it. [SF Chronicle]
• A blogger praises the subtle knowledge of Judaism that permeated The New York Times's recent piece on the Shabbat elevator fiasco. [Get Religion]

NBC made a major goof during Monday night's tape-delayed Olympics coverage by spoiling the result of the women's 100 meter backstroke race, won by 17-year-old USA swimmer Missy Franklin, right before the race was aired.
Before the race, NBC went into a commercial break with the teaser "Coming up: How good can Missy Franklin be tonight? Finals of the 100-back coming up."
Just then, NBC aired a commercial for Tuesday morning's Today Show with the following story: "When you're 17 years old and win your first gold medal, there's no one you'd rather share it with. We're there when Missy Franklin and her parents reunite."
You wouldn't believe it if there wasn't video, so here it is:
Really, NBC? Come on, man, you expect us to be satisfied with tape-delayed coverage of the Olympics when you pull stuff like this?

Ted Cruz, Longtime Foe Of NASA And Science, Will Oversee NASA And Science In New Congress. Following the ratification of Sen.
John Thune (R-S.D.) as chair of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committtee last week, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was named chair of the Subcommittee on Space, Science and Competitiveness, where he will oversee NASA and science programs. Here's what's tucked in the spending bill. Lawmakers tucked in dozens of items to the spending billItems affect everything from financial regulations to white potatoesCongress must pass bill by Thursday to avert a shutdown Washington (CNN) -- The Congress that has done virtually nothing for two years is wrapping up 2014 with a bang.
Dozens of policy provisions are tucked into a nearly 1,603-page bill that will keep the government open through next September. Ted Cruz's Net Neutrality Take Isn't Just Dumb, It's Dangerous. Censoring American History. My students walked out on me last week.

Steve Hickey Wants South Dakota Doctors to Say That Being Gay Is Dangerous. Steve Hickey is a member of the South Dakota State House and a religious leader and the sort of person who will send letters to newspaper editors calling for doctors to declare that being gay is dangerous, with a "list of side effects would read far longer than anything we hear on a Cialis commercial.
" The letter was titled, "A One Way Alley for the Garbage Truck. " Get it? Hickey, who is a pastor at the Church at the Gate in Sioux Falls, is drawing an analogy between that alley and anal sex. He fleshes the idea out a bit more in the letter. A Third Of Louisiana Republicans Blame Obama For Hurricane Katrina Response Under Bush. A large number of Louisiana Republicans think President Barack Obama is to blame for the federal government's poor response to Hurricane Katrina, according to a new Public Policy Polling survey released Wednesday -- despite the fact that the storm occurred three years before he took office.
The Democratic-leaning polling firm, which provided its results to Talking Points Memo, found that 29 percent of Louisiana Republicans said Obama was responsible for the Katrina response. Twenty-eight percent put the blame on President George W. Bush, whose administration did in fact oversee the federal response to Katrina. Nearly half (44 percent) of the Louisiana Republicans polled didn't know who to blame. Bush was heavily criticized at the time for the government's response to Katrina, a storm that caused 1,833 fatalities, damaged an estimated $81 billion in property, and ranks among the five deadliest hurricanes in United States history.
GOP rejects Dream Act-like deportation deferrals. WASHINGTON — The Republican-led House voted along party lines Thursday to prohibit funding for President Obama 's Dream Act -styled program, which temporarily halts the deportations of young immigrants if they have served in the military or are attending college.
The 224-201 vote underscored the resistance of House Republicans to the immigration overhaul that has gained momentum in the Senate . The amendment was proposed by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), who is among the chamber's most hardened opponents of a path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million people living in the country without legal status. Debunked: The Harvard study that Republicans used to push austerity. A 28-year-old economics graduate student has rewritten a study led by Harvard economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff that has been widely cited as the intellectual basis for worldwide government austerity measures.
The Harvard study argues that higher public debt slows down economic growth when the GDP rises above a 90% threshold. But after an attempt to duplicate the Harvard study's findings, Thomas Herndon, a Ph.D student at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, ended up debunking Reinhart and Rogoff's economic theory and found that the Reinhart-Rogoff study was incorrect due to spreadsheet coding errors and selective data. Herndon did not attribute motive; he focused only on the statistical and computational inaccuracies of the influential paper. Cantor Speech Aims to Refocus GOP on Middle-Class Stagnation. There is a single chart — three colored lines on a grid — that shapes the political reality of this country.
During the 2012 campaign, one of President Obama's senior strategists called it "the North Star" and started his internal PowerPoint presentations with it. When Republican majority leader Eric Cantor speaks on Tuesday about his vision for the future of the Republican Party, the chart's central message will bind together his words. Ohio faces controversy over voting machines. (MoneyWatch) As people head to the polls today to cast their ballots, a critical "battleground" state in the presidential election faces a last-minute controversy over its voting machines.
In Ohio, a lawsuit alleges that Secretary of State Jon Husted and Election Systems & Software, an Omaha, Neb., company that makes electronic voting systems used in the state, improperly approved the use of untested, non-state certified software in voting machines to help tally results. The suit -- filed Monday in federal district court by Robert Fitrakis, a Columbus, Ohio, college professor, voting rights activist and congressional candidate representing the Green Party -- claims that the software could erroneously alter election results or even lead to election fraud. Jon Stewart destroys Sen. John McCain over hypocritical Benghazi outrage. By Eric W.
DolanThursday, February 21, 2013 0:17 EDT The Daily Show host Jon Stewart ripped into Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) on his show Wednesday night, using the senator's statements about the Iraq war to pummel his current outrage over Benghazi. Republicans filibustered the confirmation vote of Defense Secretary nominee Chuck Hagel last week, demanding more information from President Barack Obama about the attack on a consulate in Benghazi, Libya that left four Americans dead.
Bill would define abortion as murder. State Rep. Rob Bacon believes abortion is murder and he wants the Iowa Code to reflect that. Bacon, R-Slater, and eight other Republicans introduced such a bill in the Iowa House Wednesday. It would alter the definition of a person in murder cases to "an individual human being, without regard to age of development, from the moment of conception, when a zygote is formed, until natural death." GOP leaders moonwalk away from debt-ceiling Armageddon. Slowly, painfully, political reality has begun to dawn on Washington Republicans and their supporters: If they force a major battle over the debt ceiling — a battle that they have acted oh-so-eager to fight — they are guaranteed to lose, and to lose badly. Such a battle would be fought against superior forces, and on ill-chosen ground. The president's approval rating are consistently above 50 percent; Congress has an approval rating of 14 percent.

By: Rmuse August 20th, 2012 see more posts by Rmuse The author of the Declaration of Independence is often quoted by opposing groups to support their own agenda, but there are few who accurately apply some of his oft-repeated statements.
During the healthcare reform debate, angry teabaggers cited Jefferson's line that " ," as proof that revolution against government tyranny was advocated by a Founding Father as an option in 2009, and that sentiment has not diminished three years later heading into a general election. The groups claiming President Obama is a tyrannical leader have never given one example of tyranny, but they, with the GOP's assistance, have whipped themselves into frenzy and openly called for armed insurrection against the United States government. Republican Jobs Bills Won't Actually Create Jobs, Say Economists. WASHINGTON -- House Republicans routinely beat the drum about the hard work they have done in passing "more than 30 jobs bills" that are now before the Democrat-controlled Senate, going nowhere, as the economy gasps for air.
For almost a year, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) have plugged their jobs package at every opportunity. They regularly bring it up at press events, during floor speeches and in statements in response to just about anything related to the economy. Boehner even carries around in his jacket pocket a 4-by-8-inch card that lists off their jobs bills, and he encourages his members to flash their cards at campaign events.

Emergency responders, UPS, FedEx, taxis, and food delivery drivers are still having problems trying to find addresses in Hamilton Beach, a small waterfront community in south Queens.
Because it is mostly unheard of, strangers have difficulty navigating Hamilton Beach — which is bounded by Hawtree Basin to the north and west, Jamaica Bay to the south and the A subway line (104th Street) to the east. But now, thanks to some street renaming, it's the residents who are confused.
They thought their navigational problems would be a thing of the past with the recent passage of street-renaming legislation and the installation of new street signs. But, according to John Bluemke, president of the New Hamilton Beach Civic Association, the new signs are disorienting.
Previously streets were labeled with numbers — now they have names. Bluemke said that he had asked for dual signs containing both the new name and the old street number. But, the city Department of Transportation, which installed the new signs, declined and used just the names.
"We would be happy with the dual names," Bluemke said. "But, if we are not going to have the dual names, then the community really prefers the numbers."
While the problem is being worked out, Bluemke has taken matters into his own hands: he made his own numbered street signs on plywood and nailed them to the telephone poles under the current named signs.
He also notified the city Fire Department of the street name changes, but was told it would take some time before the changes would be entered into the dispatch system. This can be dangerous for the residents of Hamilton Beach. Recently, Bluemke said, an ambulance summoned to an address on the renamed 164th Road had overlooked the street, which was missing its street sign. Fortunately Bluemke was able to chase after and flag down the ambulance.
In order to prevent such a thing from re-occurring, Commanding Officer of the 106th Precinct Capt. Joseph Courtesis reminds his personnel of the Hamilton Beach street name changes on a daily basis via an electronic bulletin board in the precinct's meeting room.
One service that has not been affected by the changes is that of the U.S. Post Office. Mail has been delivered as usual, Bluemke said, crediting the Post Office for its awareness of both the old and new street names and numbers.
Marie Persans, vice president of the New Hamilton Beach Civic Association, agreed that dual signage would solve the problem. She also noted that several of the new signs are incorrect: Burlingame Court, for example, was labeled as Birmingham Court.
Persans said she believes that the street name problem is so widespread and confusing that a professional city planner is needed to sort it all out.
State Sen. Joseph Addabbo Jr. (D-Howard Beach), who sponsored the Hamilton Beach street name-change legislation when he was the area's councilman, said he wanted a ceremonial name change, which would have left the original street names in place with a second small sign underneath.
Unfortunately, Addabbo said, the DOT misconstrued what he wanted as a map change, and instead of just putting up new signs, they removed the original numbered signs, too. "That obviously caused a lot of problems, probably worse than what was previously," the senator said.
"This will be rectified, this is going to be fixed — not a question of never being fixed, it will be fixed, just a question of when," Addabbo added.
A DOT spokesman said that maintaining two signs with different names might only add to or prolong confusion over the streets' new names.
Addabbo's legislation made the following changes: 163rd Road, between 104th Street and Hawtree Basin, was renamed Burlingham Court;163rd Drive, between 104th Street and Hawtree Basin, is now James Court; 164th Avenue, between 104th Street and Hawtree Basin, was named McKee Avenue; 164th Road, between 104th Street and Hawtree Basin, is now Calhoun Road; 164th Drive, between 104th Street and Hawtree Basin, is Moncriff Drive; and 165th Avenue, between 104th Street and Hawtree Basin, is named Lockwood Court.

In this course, we will survey cause lawyers in historical context, focusing on the mid-20th century onwards. Drawing on law and society, critical and clinical scholarship, we will consider various practices and examine their features. What are their aims? The circumstances they work under? Their methods? Examining various ways cause lawyers do their work, we will draw practical lessons. This course has a practicum component that will allow each student to participate in a range of cause lawyering initiatives.

What do you all wear for gardening shoes and where do you get them?
My pair of Born Werks thick leather shoes are 12 plus years old and wearing out. The soles on one side are being held together with Gorilla glue and strapping tape -- I like them that much :-) but I don't think they make them anymore. Anyway, I'd like to have something in leather that I can try on and that will last. Where to look? |

I haven't given much thought to 'garden shoes'. I have a couple of easy to slip on pairs for light outdoor use, and some leather lace up work boots for heavier chores. But I know what it's like to grow attached to a particularly good pair like your Born Werks and wonder if they can ever be replaced. What kind of shoes are they? I'm not familiar with that brand so had to google them. It seems that the company, at least, still offers shoes. But maybe not the style you have. At Zappos.com I saw that they carried a heavy sandal called 'gardner' which I believe is for men, and several kinds of shoes/boots. But didn't see any called "Werks". Maybe they make something similar? What are the characteristics you're looking for in a good garden shoe? I like something that protects my whole foot and is easy to slip on and off. If I'm going to do any digging or heavy work I need something like a boot that supports my foot and ankles, will stay on my foot and has a thick sole. |

These aren't leather, but I prefer shoes I can easily wash the mud off of. I like Sloggers gardening shoes for everyday light garden chores, and Smith & Hawken Muck shoes or boots for the heavy duty stuff. |
Thanks to you both for your responses. I was beginning to think you all gardened in flip flops, which I've been known to do myself. In fact before full light this morning I was out repoting a jasmine Jolana gave me a couple of years ago in my flip flops and night gown. Don't tell me none of you have never done anything like that ... hahaha! Wings, you found more than I did on the internet. The official Born site evidentally shows only their current styles where the site you linked has styles from other years. I thought for awhile that I might even find 'my' shoes on it, but I didn't. And the ones available that might work weren't available in my size. I have a couple of other 'dressier' Born shoes (the brand just seems to fit my feet well) but my gardening shoes are so 'ugly' that even when new that my Mom would break into gales of laughter every time she saw them. Now that they are old they are even worse. Patty asked Bob to please buy me some more shoes when she was over here recently. Actually he was thinking of having them bronzed as a momento ;-) and so I couldn't wear them anymore ... LOL Bird, thanks for the tips on Sloggers and Smith & Hawkins Muck shoes. Both have quite a following. There was a post on another GW forum praising the Smith & Hawkins Muck shoes. I might have to take another look at non leather shoes. Off to do some more searches ... |
Roselee, Since you are considering at looking at other types of shoes: I'm happy with several pairs of crocks. Easy to slip off and on. I keep one pair at each doorway. But for the really rough gritty work, I have to wear my reebok princess style leather tennis shoes which I just throw in the washer when they're really looking bad. I wear these all the time, they are my everyday shoe. When they're looking worn they get put in the garden/camping shoe pile and I buy a new pair. I can only wear the flip flops when I'm on the patio potting up stuff. Never for out in the beds. |
Melvalena, thanks! I like that idea of washing hot, tired feet with cool water while wearing shoes :-) |

I have a NEW favorite gardening shoe I'd like to share. I've travelled enough to know that the most important item to take is an extraordinarily comfortable and supportive pair of walking shoes. It's really one of my ultimate tests for shoes, and the good ones really stand out. I had purchased some slip-on Keen shoes (similar to their "Paradise Sandal" style) for my last trip to Europe as a secondary pair to my official walking shoes. However the Keens were so comfortable and durable that I ended up wearing them the whole time. I had bought them at an REI store, so I figured that I'd look for another Keen shoe to purchase for working around my home. As I said in my post above, my criteria is that the shoes need to cover my feet, slip on and off easily, have a thick enough sole to hold up to things like digging with a shovel while preventing anything from poking through the sole, and just generally be well made, comfortable and flexible. So then I found the Keen "Summer Golden Slip-On" shoes and have not looked back. They are perfect! I also really enjoy being barefoot, though it isn't always the best idea due to bothersome ouchies like grass burrs. However a friend of mine just purchased some shoes that were http://www.vivobarefoot.com/us/about-us/ |

Roselee, I found a pair of Born Werks on eBay. When I absolutely have to have a particular thing that is not readily available, I set up an eBay alert to find it. That said, Born makes good shoes that last well and yo may find that they make something else now that you will like just as well. Here in the Killeen area I'd be hard pressed to find anything Born to choose from, but I don't know where you are. Keen and Merrel both also make really good comfortable shoes. I also have a pair of Tevas that have worn wonderfully since 2007 and they can be hosed out. Good luck in your search! |
Thank you both for those good tips!!! I'm going to check them out right after the family Easter dinner is over and done :-) |
I bought Birkenstock clogs years ago for gardening and they've held up very nicely. |

Quoted from Victoria There is Wax Orchards. CLICK. Fruit sweetened fudge sauce, but there is the "natural flavoring".
Quoted from Victoria ...At that time, I wasn't so much into the "fine print" like I am now! (Eccentric, is the word! )
Quoted from kipperkid I'm with you there Peppermint Twist - I'm sure I'm not intended to be a twig. Solid branch will do me nicely, if I ever get there........ You seem to be going great guns without the grains - brilliant!!!
Quoted from mhameline But anyway - I think people think I'm eating low carb but I'm so not and I know my body thanks me for it - we're just eating the right ones full of nutrients.
Quoted from mhameline And I'm finally back to my morning fruit smoothies - which when I have those on a consistant basis I seem to do the absolute best with everything else BTD related
Quoted from mhameline . . . And I'm finally back to my morning fruit smoothies - which when I have those on a consistant basis I seem to do the absolute best with everything else BTD related - even though they're packed with carbs they are important for me to have consistantly.
Quoted from outdoordrea According to TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) or at least this is what I've been told over the years, drinking or eating anything that is cold is hard on your organs, period. Drinking or eating food that is hot also is not good for your organs. Victoria, correct me if I'm confused about this, but my acupuncturist said I should give up drinking cold foods/drinks because it was over taxing my lungs.
Quoted from Edna Truly, had the bottle been enlarged and I could have plunged INTO it, thus cooling my whole self down, so much the better. btw, in on-line tests, I come out as Ayurvedic type "pitta" (fire). . . . "Is your face more of an oval, an egg, or an egg-like oval?", I'm at a loss *lol*! But anyway, if I am indeed a pitta, maybe that is why I tend to "run hot" and gravitate mightily towards things like oceans, swimming pools and any cold body of water...even a plastic water bottle in a fridge at 7-11!
Quoted from Edna 2. The bad news is that I have not lost any further weight in the last few days and may even have gained one pound. I'm tending to panic a bit here over that because what if that little amazing spurt was it and now I'm back to Plateau City for the duration? I hope not. I'm just gonna keep on walking the grain-free walk and hope for the best.

This past Summer (07) I bought some Blue River II hardy hibiscus and Luna Red and Luna Blush hibiscuses. All of them produced many, many seeds. I couldn't wait any longer and I planted some of them 12 days ago. Yesterday I noticed them growing like a weeds. Seeing that I got an urge to plant all of seeds, which I did today.
Now, Question; what should I do to make those young fragile plants from getting to leggy, to tall and fragile. How to slow them down. I want them to take their time until better weather comes until April. I am afraid they might die latter on. Please guide me step by step bcs I really need your input. The room where I grow them is 24/7 under artificial light and temperature is at about 25/26* Celsius. Thanks to all, Radovan |

I think you should lower the temp to about 20* and the lights should just be about 4" from the top of the seedling. Seedlings get leggy in low light and high temps |
- Posted by heavenlyfarm (My Page) on Sat, Dec 22, 07 at 10:26
Make sure you give them some time with the lights off as they need to rest for a period just like humans. 15 hours of light I think is the most they should get a day. The most critical in my opinion is the position of the lights though. Good Luck!! ~mike |

My personal favorite is rose sparkling wine. You get the richness of a sparkling red wine, but a little hint of the softness of a sparkling white wine.
My favorite of course is French rose sparkling wine, but I'm not too picky -- I'll take a California sparkling wine if no French are available.

Oh man… I need to start cross-training before doing a show like this! It will wear you down! But I will soldier on! For COMICS! (One second while I play the Tom Joad monologue for inspiration…. ahh…)
C2E2: DC "All Access" Spotlights Many Stars
Earlier today, DC Comics kicked off their C2E2 weekend in Chicago with "All Access". The star studded panel included Bobbie Chase, Brian Azzarello, Charles Soule, Dan Jurgens, Greg Lockard, Greg Pak, Jim Chadwick, Kyle Higgins, Nicola Scott, and Scott Snyder.
While there weren't any surprise announcements, fans got creator insight about upcoming books from Batman Eternal to Secret Origins. Here's a few tidbits from the panel and its Q&A.
C2E2: Marvel Takes Digital to a New Level, Reveals Documentary Series in the Works
Marvel's House of Ideas panel at C2E2 2015 was hosted by Ryan Penagos and features Nick Lowe, Joshua Hale Fialkov, and Mark Waid on stage, focusing heavily on Marvel's digital endeavors with brief mentions of the 75th anniversary of Marvel Comics, the Marvel Gaming Universe, and a new documentary series called Tales to Astonish.
Joshua Hale Fialkov and Juan Bobilo will be bringing Amazing Spider-man: Who Am I? to the Marvel Infinite Comics lineup, but unlike titles like AvX and Wolverine, Who Am I? will be released in a batch on May 6 containing the first four chapters, with another batch of chapters to be released approximately a month later.
C2E2: Get a free ride from Uber
As attested by Torsten's comprehensive transit guide, getting around the cavernous McCormick Place where the ongoing C2E2 show is being held is no easy matter and getting away from it can be hellish. However, the show has teamed with Uber, the get a ride app, to offer a FREE ride for new signees. Existing users […]

C2E2's on once again, and this year, it's being held in the South Hall. (Oh, how I await the day when it takes up the entire complex! 2.6 MILLION sq.ft. of exhibit space! 60 acres! 45 football fields! Can you imagine the programming going on all over the building? The theater? The ballrooms?) *ahem* Sorry… […]
C2E2014: Day Zero
Torsten's Tip: If you are taking public transportation to LaGuardia Airport, hop on the 7 train express to Roosevelt. Then grab the Q70 bus. It has only three stops (airport, subway, transit center), and takes the expressway to the airport. Since I live in Bushwick, and there's no easy north-south connector, I took the J […]

Three Days Remain to enter the Dorkly Fan Art Contest
Dorkly is a sister site of College Humor that offers a lot of comics and gaming-related humor, but in a positive, not mean spirited, way. They're ramping up a lot of their offerings including launching a a series of events based around nerd-centric gatherings.
One of the first is the Dorkly Fan Art Expo , where fan art will be displayed at C2E2 April 25-27.
Exclusive: The complete 2014 C2E2 panel schedule in one place!
With ECCC only a dwindling memory and a box of kleenex from the con crud everyone caught, C2E2 is bearing down on us on April 25-27. Chicago's biggest comics event will have the usual line-up of guests from all areas of the industry.
However, the website panel listings don't allow you to see the whole thing at one, but courtesy of ReedPOP's Marykate Nagourney, here is the whole list of programming in an easy to find way. Highlights include a storytelling panel with Amanda Conner and Cully Hamner, Mark Waid on his digital and retailing exploits, Christina Blanch and Carol Tilley on various comics and academics topics, and the usual MArvel, DC, Dark Horse, Boom and so on panels

I came across a challenge last week while working on a project. I needed to create a dual-axis chart, with two bars on the primary axis and a line on the secondary axis. Tableau makes this task incredibly easy, but I needed to do this in Excel. Well, I really didn't HAVE to create the chart in Excel, but others needed to be able to update the chart and they, gasp, don't have a Tableau license.
It's easy enough to create a dual-axis chart in Excel, if you want the bars side by side. However, I needed overlapping bars. There's no standard chart design within Excel to accommodate this, which meant I had to come up with a workaround. I perused the internet and didn't find anyone else that had done this (I'm sure people have done it, but haven't shared their work), so I wanted to share it with anyone that may need to do it in the future.
A sample Excel workbook can be found here (if your corporate network blocks Dropbox, send me an email and I'll forward it to you).
The final product looks like this:
Steps to reproduce:
- Highlight your data, insert a 2-D clustered column chart
- Change the bar and line colors if desired
- Right-click on one of the bars that you want on the secondary axis and choose Format Data Series
- Change the Plot Series On option to Secondary Axis
- With the bars on the secondary axis still highlighted, from the Chart Tools Design menu, change the Chart Type to a line
- Right-click on one of the bars that are on the primary axis and choose Format Data Series
- Change the Series Overlap to 100%
- The two bars on the primary axis now completely overlap each other. You're almost done!
- Remove the gridlines (important…I'll explain in a bit) and add the axis labels (I hate it when people create dual-axis charts in Excel and don't add the axis labels!)
- Give the bars the "overlap" look (these are the most important steps to give the bars the proper) by right-clicking on the gray bar (i.e., the bar that's in the first column of the table) and choosing Format Data Series
- Choose the Border Color option, select Solid Line and set the color to the same color as the bar (in my case, light gray)
- Choose the Border Styles option, change the Width to 10pt (or whatever floats your boat) and change the Cap type to Flat and the Join type to Miter
- That's it! You've create a dual-axis chart in Excel with overlapping bars on the primary axis and a line on the secondary axis.
Now wait, I mentioned earlier that you should delete the gridlines. This is critical because we've changed the height of the bar in the back by adding the border. This leaves you with a couple of options:
- Make the border of the bar in the back really thin, but this makes it challenging to see the overlap
- Change the data to account for the thickness, but it's kinda scary to me to alter the data because if you mouse over the point you see the original data
- Leave the bars thick so that you can clearly see the overlap
I would go with option 3 because the naked eye won't be able to discern the difference to the bar height anyway. The purpose of the chart, after all, is to give the overall trends and comparisons anyway, not focus on the original data.
If that "change" in the bar size really bothers you, then simply add the data table under the chart:
Don't we all love challenges! I know I do.
